Here's the Red Cupid that came today. I took pictures before really examining it. Like it... not sure if I love it, though.
Like other people have said, the handles DO seem too thin:
The thin handle is not as obvious in this pic since this handle is wrapped (but it's a cute bag, no? I wish the handles were actually this thick):
I like the way it looks crossbody:
The color is not as deep as I remember from Nordstrom, but it's still quite pretty:
The leather is amazing. Soft, thick, and distressed.
The Red MAM also came today. Don't know where to post this pic, so here it is (IMO, the texture on this one is not as nice as the Cupid. Not as distressed):
Wow! The distressing is gorgeous!!!!!!!!! The Cupid looks great on you!
Here's the lavender. It looks darker than the sample lavender. It looks like raisin!
Chocolate:
Grey:
OH. MY. GOD. Lavender is GORGEOUS. It's not really a lavender color, but I don't even care!!! That is beautiful!!!!!! I really like it in the Cupid, too!
Ladies~ Just adding my two cents 
This week, one of my co-workers came in to work with her new RM Teal Cupid Bag. My jaw almost hit my desk. Incredible bag! I swooned over it! The richness and suppleness of the leather is amazing. The color is so vibrant and shiny! I loved the design, the handles, everything! I immediately fell in love with that bag. I can't put it out of my mind. I so want to order it, but I don't want to be a copycat either! LOL!
This purse was clearly a show-stopper for me!

Too bad that pic of lavender isn't the true color! Someone posted a lavender affair on bonz today and its more pink.. still super pretty but I wish it looked more like the pic of the cupid.

Could you detect the green tones in the leather? In some pics all I see is blue.
So here's my MT Cupid. I kind of love her, but the only hesitation is the color. From stock photos I was expecting a cool toned pearly taupe, but in person, she is much more warm toned, almost like a pretty pale gold to my eye. It's actually very pretty and unique and I love the hardware, but I tend towards cool tones for some reason. Still, I've had her almost a week and can't bring myself to send her back.... I had all my stuff in her ready to go, then unpacked her for fear I'd need to return her and everyday it's all I can do not to fill her back up and carry her off for the day... so, obviously I'm torn. Here she is, terrible phone pics, but it's all I have at the moment-

For some reason the new teal photographs much more blue than it is IRL (although it is more blue than the 09 distressed teal). It is still more of a green shade IRL, IMO.
I thought it looked quite similar, only some brightness added with the flash.
After seeing both versions I am excited to see how the Lavender Cupid will really look. That Amazon pic threw me off. I bought (and returned) a "Lavender" MAM once and it was tan! I am hoping the color will look like the Affair sold on Bonz.
Thanks for the pics lpritchett, I was wondering how the Cupid looks unstuffed and hanging. I like the MT!
Hey Linda~ Yes, I could detect a faint undertone of green, however, the teal blue is so vibrant and rich, that it really overpowers any other tone. I don't know if that makes sense to you, but, honestly, that purse knocked me off of my feet.
I'm your typical buyer of classic purses (black, brown, navy, taupe, etc) I don't normally gravitate to bold colors, but THAT teal purse made me drool!
It is spectacular! I hope this helps
