I'm glad to see the RM team so responsive on this thread. I appreciate that.
I have to tell you, unfortunately, how disappointed I am with my recent purchase of a MAC on RM.com. It arrived tonight and I was very excited.
But when I unwrapped this bag I was immediately struck by the flimsiness of the leather, and the fact that it doesn't feel like leather, nor does it have that lovely leather scent that my other RM bags have.
I got this bag on sale, and bought it even though it said it was a final sale. I already own SEVEN MACs, two MAMs, two Swing bags. I mention this to let you know that I'm quite familiar with the brand, the quality of the leather, and the overall construction of these purses.
This MAC in Fern was a color I admired since I first saw it a while ago. When I saw it was on sale I jumped on it. The final sale aspect didn't bother me as I am the happy owner of all those other RM bags! But this bag is a big disappointment.
This has to have been manufactured on the cheap, and it shows, even holding it on my hands. Extra tassels were provided, but the tassel on the zipper was shorter than any of the other tassels on my other MACs. Those tassels are distinctive, and something I love about the bags. The 'abbreviated' zipper tassel looks off. I could live with that if the quality of the leather was on par with my other bags. It's not. This leather is thin, feels like pleather, and looks like it too.
I'm super disappointed in this bag, and am wary, now, of future purchases from your website. There isn't a store in my vicinity that carries Rebecca Minkoff (we aren't getting a Nordstrom for another year), so I can't inspect the bag before I buy it.
I felt safe making this final sale purchase because of my nice collection of RM bags, but this has been a wholly unhappy experience. I put the bag away; I'm so disappointed in it that I really can't bear to look at it now. I wasted $200 on this, and that hurts.
I wanted to give everyone an update on my 'situation'. As a result of this original post, I heard from RM customer care and they are allowing me to return this bag and either have a refund, or choose another bag. I am so happy about this, as I really didn't like the bag and didn't want to keep it! I'm very grateful for the compassion of the customer care department at RM! Thanks so much.

I got over 30 RMs in 3 years, and even my hubby knows, if it's purple and Rebecca Minkoff buy it. I have one little question though, and I understand it's not just the purples. I bought a "Purple" nikki back in the Black Friday 2011 sale, a "Purple" MAB with Gunmetal hdwar in an August End of Summer 2012 sale, and another "Purple" MAB last Christmas. All new, all with tags from you for 2, and another retailer for the 3rd. 3 different shades, 3 different leathers, all tagged "Purple". I also have 2 different Grapes, one from 2010, and one from 2013. A few different "Teal". And so on and so on. When buying online and we see a color name we have no real frame of reference. my 3 "Purple" bags couldn't be more different. oh, 2 different Lavenders, 2 different shades of Eggplant. You have so many wonderful leathers, but if I weren't 'adventurous' I would have missed out of a few bags, because I already have a MAB in "Purple" or I already have an eggplant. Is there anyway you can choose new names Deep Purple, Dark Purple, Purple Violet, Violet Purple could be 4 different leather names, and we would understand that Deep Purple is not the same as Dark Purple. Jammin Purple is great, you know what you have. And if another Jammin Purple came out, we'd assume the color is at least similar. Other than that, I'm happy as a clam. So far, the count is 3 new RMs for Christmas.
ooops, forgot I have to mention we would love some new Nikkis or Matinees, but I don't want to push.
