I :hbeat: the Riley in black (w/shw) and the jet set top zip looks fabulous in dark dune. I just got back from Bloomingdale's and they only had cinder in the Bedford shoulder bag (soft leather). It looks like a greyer version of dark dune. I also ran across steel grey on a tri-colored Selma. Steel grey perfectly matches my grey ankle boots (which I was wearing at the time). Now I'm thinking I might like a steel grey Selma over cinder. However, I still want to try to see cinder in saffiano leather. :thinkin:

I already have a jet set, but I love how classy and comfy it is! The more I see of the Riley in black the more I like it, but I haven't seen it in person with silver yet. I haven't seen steel grey in person, but it's gorgeous in pics! The only thing I don't like about cinder is that it pulls purple. I took a pic of that bag you're talking about when I was wearing a dress with smokey purple in it and the cinder matched it ImageUploadedByPurseForum1443992933.409748.jpg

Exactly! Cinder has a purple undertone. I didn't like it as much when I saw it IRL. However, it may look completely different in saffiano leather.

Steel grey, on the other hand, was a true, smokey, dark grey. I loved it. It's more like the color I was looking for. However, I don't know if it ever came out in the large Selma. I can only find it in the medium size.

Even if they don't have in stock, they can order from their online store. I absolutely prefer the Cinder to Dark Dune, especially in the Saffiano leather. It is beautiful!!

Thanks Crista, I've not brought much in Nordies before so that's a very useful tip!

That's the great thing about MK there is a shade and style to suit everyone :D am going to have a hard time choosing between Cinder and Dark Dune.... :panic:

Planning on taking large dark khaki Selma on a big shopping trip to London tomorrow. Am i going to find her too heavy?! First time I've used her for anything other than work or social meal out. Not overloading her, but taking some jewellery to be cleaned tomorrow so she's a good size for the boxes.

I've never had any problems taking my large Selmas out shopping. I use the shoulder strap so my hands can be free and she stays on my shoulder just fine. As long as you don't overload her, all should be fine. Enjoy your day shopping!

I don't understand the thought that they are too heavy to use all day. I don't find them heavy at all. I remember carrying a diaper bag and car seat and I find no issues at all with carrying these shopping all day!:smile1:

+1. I really don't understand this concern over heaviness/weight on the Selma. I carry bags larger than this and don't obsess over weight issues. If you love a bag, just carry it!

So I just pulled the trigger on a Large Cinder Selma from the UK since they aren't being sold here. :amuse: Definitely more than I normally spend, but I love Cinder and I did not care for the medium size. I'll post pics when she gets here!

I'll certainly use it again for shopping trips, it was surprisingly light weight :biguns:

I use the ones I have all day every day, so work and weekends and weekends it can be filled with usual rubbish I carry plus my mac air, and it still doesn't feel any heavier than other bags I have.

Don't tend to use the shoulder strap as seem to carry all my bags in crook of arm. Only use shoulder strap if unloading boot of shopping as it is easier.

That is what I love about my Selmas the versatility. Dug my orange one out which still has tags on to use now the UK is in a very autumnal mood.

It certainly has turned autumnal! Did you get a lot of rain today? We did. Orange will be a great autumn colour! Do you have any photos?

The Selma's are wonderfully versatile! I can't decide which colour to get next, black, Cinder or Dark Dune.

OMG did it rain! All day non stop, horrid. I bought some new converses and today was not the day where I should have decided they got their first outing, I should have worn wellies! We are going away to Dorset next week so it had better improve by then given we are staying in woodlands in log cabins lol, nice in the sunshine, not so much in this disgusting stuff!

I don't know what has happened, but my photo stream has got lost on my apple products, which has me fuming, I had 823 photos now I have 85! My orange Selma photos were on there. I can see them on one mac, but not on my mac air, or iPhone, or iPad. I nearly threw all of them out the window lol.

Cinder seems really popular colour at the moment. I was reading the post where someone has bought from here as they can't get where they are. I am biased as dark dune is a personal favourite. My Florence is dark dune, but the soft leather. My jet set wallet is dark dune saffiano and goes with every single one of my bags, whatever their colour. I am not huge fan of black bags for me personally, as I don't have occasion to use them. But it is that classic classy colour. I have the sloan in black still, but I still never use it!
