Finally heard back from PS. December is Such a long wait to wait. When MG has their bags for sale in their site, are they hard to get? Wondering if I am better off waiting until August and try to order with them...or do I go the PS route and get it in Dec?

Bags sold in like a min last restock. It was just absolute insanity. PS Dept guarantees you a bag. But the wait is trade off. If you want a guarantee, go with PS! You could also possibly buy one from PS Dept, and cancel if you get one in Aug. Just make sure that they offer returns!

PS is a good guarantee of obtaining a bag, but like you said, it is a tradeoff because of the wait. You also have to pay up front and some of their vendors do not take returns. I have bought several bags from them just for the peace of mind knowing that I would get them!!

I am currently waiting for a lady bag with August delivery, just by sheer luck and timing!!
 
So I ordered a regular bucket from Colette last Wednesday, and it arrived before the weekend!

I love the size - it makes an excellent weekend workhorse! Here's a pic: https://instagram.com/p/4_JEngIoid/?taken-by=msbrightsid3

(for reference I'm about 1.62m/5'3 and I wear a UK size 10 / US size 4-6.)

It looks great on you! 😊 Havent seen anyone rock the "sand" color yet, so it seems like you're one of the first! How do you like it so far?

Thank you! It's a very versatile neutral. I wore it again with a dark green dress and it worked quite well too.

I don't quite like the smell though, it's rather chemical. Like a plasticky version of the new car smell.
And I need a better purse organiser. I keep losing my cell phone in there.

Is this the regular and calf leather?
Yeah, bucket bag style I think, needs some getting used to. I like putting a shawl or cardi on mine, just so it props up everything else and I don't need to reach in so deep. Mine is the regular though and I do find it deep.

Yes, regular and calf leather. I saw someone carrying the mini yesterday and I realised it's not as small as I thought. So I'm kind of considering getting another in mini now, just to see which I like better.

What a good idea to put a shawl/cardi in the bottom. I found an old purse organiser in my closet that has handy pockets for my small items so I'll try putting a comfy cardi underneath it and see if it helps even more.
 
I have both and I really don't think it's any heavier.


Thank you for your reply!


the blues....black/marina, cammello/azzurroView attachment 3057517
Ahhhh, the blues on the interior are my favourite combi. thanks for sharing your lovely pic. I couldn't get my hands on them though so I got mine from Barney's in the saffiano white/royal combo which I'm also loving :)

Hope that helps you.
I was after a mini for awhile too after getting my regular, just so I could compare and also cos' I found the regular a little bulky on my frame (which is strange cos' my friend who is shorter and slimmer than I am, tried my regular and it looked like a really good size on her!).


But now I've decided to try get the Lady bag instead, just cos' I think the style of the buckets, with the bottomless pit, isn't very convenient for me and the Lady bag looks like a unique one. Good luck with your mini hunt!

Thank you! There is a brand new mini up for sale by someone in my city, camello with azzuro. I'm really tempted.
