Hi everyone! I’m a newbie, first time poster!
I’m so excited that I’m going to get my first Selma (and first ever Michael Kors bag)! I just ordered the medium Selma Satchel in Oyster for my birthday. I really wanted the soft pink but Oyster is pretty similar in color and was half the price (on sale).
Does anyone have the Selma in Oyster? I’d love to see!

Hi guys! I’ve owned a Selma Grommet in Black since late 2013, but only a month after using it I lost one of the grommets 
I baby my bags so it’s kinda annoying since I never expected the grommet would have such bad quality. I tried going to the nearest MK boutique and the SA said that I need to get it repaired in HK because that’s where the Asia service center is (I live in Southeast Asia btw). That would be so much hassle for me so that’s why I just left the bag that way. I still love it to bits as it’s my first designer bag tho. Anyone has experienced this before? Any idea on how to get a replacement grommet? TIA!

I finally got my Medium Selma Satchel in Oyster... first MK bag and she's a beauty! I love the color in person more than I expected to, definitely a great neutral color to match with everything.
I also just ordered the same bag but with studs in Dusty Rose off Poshmark which should be coming in a few days... very excited! Both birthday presents.

My Studded Selma in Dusty Rose came a few days ago!! In love. Here’s a pic of my two beautiful Selma’s side by side... can’t wait to use them!
Sooo since my last post... I have made another Selma purchase I think I’m addicted! Got this off Poshmark. Seller was asking for $120, I offered $95 and she accepted!Does anyone know what exact color this is? The seller listed the color as pale pink but it’s clearly not the official MK color “pale pink” as this is definitely lighter. I’m thinking blush?
Slightly annoyed as the seller did list the purse as in used by good condition, and said the only flaw was a couple pen marks on the bottom side (which really aren’t noticeable). But when I got the purse, there was some dirty marks on the front (which thankfully wiped off), pink highlighter mark on the inside (which wasn’t shown in the pic she included of the inside of purse) as well as definite dirtyness/possible jean rub off on the back side. It’s not super noticeable, only I would probably notice but that was my fault for not asking for a picture of the back of the purse. I honestly just thought it was such a great deal, I wanted to snatch it before someone else did.
I did get some leather cleaner from MK which helped a little bit but not completely. Still love it though, beautiful purse which will go with everything.
It’s a pretty and quite neutral color, congrats! Try the pencil eraser trick to clean the jean rub, it might help
I think this looks like Blush, I have the same bag! Goes with everything, great colour.
I have four selmas in medium and large; pale blue, colorblock (white/peanut/beige), pearl grey and blush. I use them all the time. Pale blue, blush and colorblock are part of my spring/summer collection. My grey selma is frequently used during fall/winter. I only have the colette in soft skin. Even though I love her, I prefer saffiano for every day use. Love not having to worry about sudden rain or where I put it down. So yes, I use my selmas and think they're timeless.
I’m planning to round out my Selma collection with one last bag (for now) and I’m debating between oyster and pale pink. I don’t have any neutral colors so one of these would be it (pale pink is a neutral for me).
Now my dilemmas, cost and color. Oyster is much less expensive but I fear the color will be too brownish beige. I really like the blush color but missed out. I already have a bag in soft pink and that color is not warm enough in tone for my liking. Oyster would be direct from MK so there is no worry of smell or anything.
Pale pink is beautiful but the cost would be about $70 more. I like to try and get the bags for around 40% off or more but the pale pink would barely be 30% off plus the seller wants $17 for shipping.
Thoughts?

I personally would go with oyster. I think it’s a really beautiful and feminine color. Plus, if I’m ever between two colors I always go with the one able to be purchased through MK. I don’t bother with secondhand sites unless I have to...too much hassle and risk of dishonest sellers. That, combined with the fact you can get ouster cheaper make me say go with that one!
I caved and bought oyster. I couldn’t resist the sale and this color will go with everything. I still have my eye on pale pink, though.
I think you will be happy with oyster. I have both the medium Selma and cynthia in ballet, and that color is very similar to oyster. Love them both. I would recommend the light pink MK is displaying for this spring, it is a true light pink, not salmon pink as pale pink is. Good luck deciding!
Yes, I also like the pink bags this season. I do have the Hayley in soft pink but I’m not in love with the color. I like warmer pinks and wish I hadn’t missed out on blush.
