Hi! Can anyone please tell me anything about the MG tumble leather small tote? I bought the small tote in tumble leather yesterday and think I may have made the wrong choice so I'm kind of freaking out.... The pictures I see now when I look it up shows the purse just slouching all the time with no structure... Please let me know asap!! Thank you!!!

Hi and welcome! :welcome:

I moved your post from he Lady Bag thread to the Tote thread. ;)
Also, no need to post the same question in multiple places.

The tumble leather is slouchy, not structured. The small is hard to come by so if you decide you don't want it, I'm sure you won't have much trouble selling it on eBay or somewhere like that.

I hope you get what you want!

Thanks! My main (if not only concern) about the tumble leather is that when the purse is put down it will just collapse on itself and not hold it's shape... On the website, you can tell that the leather is definitely softer, but it was modeled holding it's original shape. In this picture, see how it wrinkles up?

I do believe that if you want a structured bag that will hold its shape the tumble leather is the wrong choice. However I think the bag in the picture looks yummy. I have a veg tanned leather bag and it is very structured and I love it, but looking at that delicious soft puddle of leather I might have to think about it for next time.

Yeah, this leather is slouchy, so the bag will not keep its shape. :sad:
I believe they added this option because some people do prefer slouchy, but I prefer the more structured leathers myself.

So do I.. I feel like the photo was a little bit misleading.. but maybe my fault for buying it in a frenzy (as if there's any other choice!). I'm hoping that I will be happy with it once it arrives, but if not I will put it up on eBay. Do you know of any other outlets I can use to sell it easily?

There are lots of places to sell. I would take a look in our eBay forum for other site options. It isn't strictly about eBay.

Just don't get scared off by the horror stories. I've been on eBay for 6 years and have had mostly very positive experiences.

I hope you like it even if it wasn't what you were expecting. Maybe you could have one of each!

Hi there,
I just got my beautiful new tote from Net-a-Porter. I love the bag but was surprised to see it ship in only a dust bag. Do only bags ordered directly from Mansur get a box or was there an oversight from Net-a-Porter?

Thanks so much for the help!:D

Here's a picture of my Cammello and Royal large tote. Love the combo, the blue is really striking on the inside of this bag. It has definitely gotten darker which is why I got the Cammello because I figured after a while it will turn as dark as the Brandy is which I like. I did notice some wrinkling in the bag but I'm hoping that with continued use the leather will soften us just a bit.

I've only been using it for 2 weeks and have been making sure to be super careful. Got an unknown liquid stain on the front of it today:sad: but I think the patina will make it less noticeable soon enough (any thoughts or insight would be helpful on the matter).

Added a pink pom pom for some fun! I love me a pom!

Love this colour combo, looks beautiful. I fell in Love with MG after seeing someone with a bucket bag in this combo.
