I just took mine on a business trip earlier this month. I used the dustbag inside the tote with my stuff inside for some privacy/security (an organizer with a zipper would work too) in case it tipped over on the plane or something. I was a little nervous since mine is cammello, but it's held up really well. I usually travel with Le Pliages, but this was a nice alternative.


Thanks! I noticed my Le pliage has a hole in it which is why I'm on the hunt for something else.
 
Can anyone with a black tote tell me how it it wearing in? Does the bag soften with use? How does the color hold up? Do the corners wear much?

I just received my black/oro large tote which I pre-ordered from Barney's ages ago. I'm just on the fence about keeping it and wondering how other peoples bags are wearing over time.

It wears pretty well over time, however I do not think it softens up very much. The corners will show wear, but can easily be touched up with black polish. I also treat my bags routinely with any of the recommended products and I have been very satisfied.
 
Good to know! I missed the delivery cuz I'm heading out for another interview but hopefully I can use it for others coming up

it's a great travel bag!! just came back from a trip and used the pouch to hold all our passports. i have a purse-to-go so i just zipped everything up when i had to put it through the baggage scanner. :smile1:

Here's a picture of my large black/oro tote! I've been using it as a work tote for about a week, so far it's holding up well.

I was worried that the metallic interior might be too flashy for work, but once I fill it up and there's less reflective surface, it's actually quite discreet, especially when I carry it on my shoulders. I do wish the straps are a couple of inches longer though.

Hope this helps! :)
 
You're right the dimensions are a bit off. Most likely the small tote and a good price too. The current retail for the small tote is $525.


My black/oro tote arrived today from BG! It's actually a large size and it's perfect for work! And I dunno why but BG's price is $90 cheaper than the suggested retail price!! Only $495 and no tax for me!! But the large black/flamma tote is still $585! So anyone who'd like to buy a large black/oro tote, BG would be the best place to get it!

By the way, any suggestion in terms of purse organizer for the large tote? I'd like to buy one for this bag!

The veg-tanned leather smells so good! I must say this is a much better quality product from MG compared to the calf red crossbody I bought and returned! That calf smelled so bad and felt plasticky! From now on with MG bag I would definitely stick to veg-tanned leather!

Lol. Went back to your link and it is now $585. I think they made a boo boo and you got a great deal!

Gorgeous bag!
