It's still available right now: http://en.colette.fr/sac-003cmet-x-colette-blue.html
I didn't know what to make of the pony hair print, so I bought a bucket bag in Sand instead. Those are still available too. (I wanted the one in Moss but it was gone by the time I looked.)
Congrats on your bucket in sand! (: Wwhat size did you get?
Wanted a mini crossbody in flamma or blu too but they only had the regular size. Oh well!
I got the regular size. The mini in Sand was available too when I checked out a few hours ago, I considered it but since I already have a couple of mini bags (Celine Luggage nano, Mulberry Alexa mini) I decided the regular would serve me better!
Sounds like a wise decision. (;
Will this be your first MG? I think sand is the prettiest of the new colours, please post pictures when you get it!
Yes it's my first! I'm really looking forward to getting it. I think it'll make a really pretty weekend workhorse handbag.
Ok I'm going to go against the grain a little here. I was one of the lucky ones and got the pale pink mini bucket I wanted in the last website launch. I started carrying in Mid May and have been carrying it off and on since. I take very good care of my bags, for instance I have a Gucci from the 80's that is in near excellent condition. I guess me and my bags are now considered vintage, ugh. Anyway, I am not happy with the way this bag is wearing. It never gets put on the ground, when I drive it sits in the car seat next to me or the back seat. Despite this the bottom corners are getting gray and while they do lighten with leather cleaner the cleaner itself takes a toll on the leather. Metal feet on the bottom of this bag would of definitely helped this problem. Also, no pockets inside?? I get that this is a very simple bag and I am glad I got it but I definitely would not pay a penny more for it than I did. These girls who created this bag line are very smart. I wonder if these bags were easier to get if we would want them so much? They definitely are driving up demand by making the "hunt" to get the bag part of the experience. The day I got mine by 5:00pm est I had my son and I taking turn hitting refresh every second on my computer. Really? I did that? Who knows maybe if I got black or a darker color I'd feel different so please know the light colors are not easy to take care of.
Still loving my brandy bucket and use it pretty much every single day for work. I've had it for almost a year, I think? I figured I would post a picture for anyone who is interested in the bag and doesn't intend to baby it. I usually baby my bags like crazy, but this time I decided to just let things happen. As such, it's been scratched, rained on, had wine spilled on it (not my fault!), been touched by dirty hands (most likely my fault), used as a cat bed and probably more. I love having a bag I just let get weathered and used and I like how it looks now, and I actually really dig the raindrops.

I love the patina!
