I think the solution may be to look for a brandy/brick. I'd hate to regret getting the unlined one and the brick interior is quite close to the raw, aesthetically.

Good idea! Good luck!

Hi everyone! I'm getting a vegetable tanned black/gold large bucket bag but was wondering about wear and tear. I've read that this leather scratches easily. Is that true? I can't seem to find a proper wear and tear review or photos anywhere online. Any opinions would really help. Thank you!

If you search through this forum, you'll find many photos of how the veg tanned leather wears. It does scratch easily and shows flaws. That is the appeal of this type of leather-it is not pristine. If you read the maintenance thread, you'll see how people condition their bags to diminish some of the flaws.

I gave my daughter my black/blue bucket last summer, she has done nothing to maintain it, and it still looks pretty good!

I found it scratches easily at first but once it gets the sheen on it they blend and they don't stand out anymore. I also use chamberlains now and then just to help but not really necessary on the black I don't think.

Showing some love for this thread. Wearing my mini black ballerina bucket with an etsy monster charm. It's my current most used bag. I always seem to gravitate towards it even though I have other Chanels and LVs to choose from.

Has anyone bought a mini mini from this recent restock? I bought one from net a porter the other day from their recent drop of stuff. The made in tag is now on the other side compared to my other mini mini and all my other buckets. Are they putting them on the other side now??
I'm thinking of ordering another to compare. I just don't want it to be a one off wrong one as it may impact resale later if I ever sell and the buyer thinks it's fake because of it.

Finally took out my Brandy/Avion for the first time today, despite having the bag for almost a year!

Really enjoying how well my MG mini bucket is starting to show signs of wear. Have a good weekend, everyone!

So excited about my very first bucket! I got a mini mini in Cammello/Argento because I don't carry very much with me and I'm only 5'1" so I prefer how smaller bags look on me anyways. I can't wait to see how it ages over time!

Just got my Camello/Azzuro mini mini bucket today! It is so beautiful, and the perfect size. I can fit a large makeup pouch with heaps inside, a tangle teezer, mini hand cream, lip balm, two card wallets and my iPhone 6s Plus!

I love it! My large Brandy is my most worn of my MG bags. I have the raw interior.
I find this color always looks great with practically everything.
I have yet to wear my large black lady or my large black bucket
I'm kind of craving a mini bucket for Fall.
