Preordered in July, finally getting my large camello/rosa tote this week!

I do think the size on Barneys might have been misleading though, and now I'm worried that I'll be dwarfed by its size. The website said 14.0" width, but I believe the actual width is 19.5"... and I'm 5'4"/petite. :\ Any other petite individuals carrying around a large MG tote? How do you find the size?

I'm 5'2" and use the large tote - it's definitely big, but not overwhelming at all.

My first MG was a regular sized bucket. I LOVED looking at it, but I did not ever start using it....(does anyone else have this problem with bags?!!)...Then I got a large tote and immediately started using it AND loving it. The tote is a great around town bag. So far, so good on using such an open bag. On recent longer trips on planes I have taken an MG backpack instead of the open tote. I ended up selling the bucket bag on E-Bay....

You can also purchase a zipper insert too if you wanted. Purse to Go makes a great one, which I use in my large totes.

flawed, but beautiful-I have not treated this yet and have been using it for work for about a month. This is my favorite vegetable tanned color.

That is gorgeous ! Since getting my first Brandy bag, is it common for them to arrive with a few darker spots from the dying process? Do they eventually all blend in?

Thanks!

This was the color that got me interested in MG:)

I found leather cream is needed to make the brandy marks blend in, but it looks better and better with use. Brandy is never pristine but that's what makes it such a stunning leather

How is everyone loving their totes so far?? I have one that I'm undecided about. Will be my first MG tote. While I love it u am not sure about how much I'll use it (though I have plenty of unused bags in my closet I love and won't get rid of).
I have always associated MG with the buckets so I'm still unsure on the tote.

I have two totes and I love them although I use them less than my buckets and lady bags. Have no desire to get rid of them though!
