I didn't buy many bags this year, and none even expensive, save for a wallet, but that's a story for another post. I am not including really small leather goods that I did buy in this post.

This is actually my baby. I love this bag so, so much I want another one but I can't justify buying the exact same bag in a different colour yet! My Deadly Ponies Mr Fill N Zip Twist. I agonised over buying this for so long but finally pulled the trigger last year. It is my most expensive bag but I have never, ever regretted it, just that I took so long to buy it. I take so many pictures of this one in all sorts of situations because I love it so much but here is a recent one (not my couch).

Ohhhhhhhh. A Deadly Ponies bag! They are not often around on tpf. I really like Mr Fill N Zip Twist. Yours is gorgeous. I love the ink colour. :D How do you like the leather? Is it durable? Is it soft? Is it heavy? I'm not from NZ and I never get the chance to see those bags irl, so I would love to hear a review. :graucho:
Enjoy your bag with all your heart. :smile1:

There's a hole in my soul. :(

Deadly Ponies is my favourite brand and I would get a bag from it over almost any other high-end brand. I really want another DP bag and try to save up for it every new collection but my problem is that I don't seem to find their other recent designs as user-friendly (or big enough, with a strap I fancy) and beautiful as Mr Fill N Zip Twist. It's pretty much the HG. That's why I was thinking of getting another but my Ink Mr Fill N Zip Twist is in great condition still and I should wait for another design, probably.

DP's deer nappa is so wonderfully soft and durable I find it hard to even want to try another of their leathers but I'm pretty sure they are all as brilliant. I love all three ways of carrying Mr Fill N Zip Twist and actually do utilise them but most often use the longest shoulder strap. The handles/strap are marine rope wrapped in leather and are perfectly comfortable. I do wish I could purchase another flat, adjustable crossbody strap for another option of carrying it (for travel maybe) or they would make more crossbody options for the Fill N Zips.

Mr Fill N Zip Twist fits a lot as it is very slouchy and unstructured. Like most other satchels, my things do get tumbled around a lot inside and the plain black cotton lining does shed a little. There is only a back zip pocket in the interior but for me that's fine. Those front zip pockets on the exterior are immensely useful in addition to being beautiful. The leather, as I've mentioned, is divine. I've carried this heavily as the perfect everyday (I don't use it for work though) bag and I don't think it shows much wear (also given the colour of my bag). The base looks pristine still. I love the solid brass bridle hardware (with DP engraved on the longest handle).

I don't think it's heavy and it's deerskin so I'd say it's as light as or just slightly heavier than a similar lambskin or calfskin bag. I don't worry about my Mr Fill N Zip Twist as much over time anymore, and I've never been worried about it in a little rain as it is deerskin. Have you seen their video of the crafting of their Mr Fill N Zip Twist, by the way? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHlFadhN4QE

In conclusion, sorry for rambling but YES, immensely worth it. Buy it, use it, love it!!!

I remember feeling the same as you did (I'm in Singapore) but couldn't resist buying my very first DP item, Mr Card File in Iodine, to try out the leather and it was so, so soft and the packaging was stellar and I got hooked. I really wish I could buy more... And their colours are great! I'd post more pics of my bag but I don't think my pics are that great ha.

This is a great review, thanks! May I ask why you don't use it for work? Is it because the triple zippers make it more a casual bag?
Was shipping expensive?

Hey, thanks! :laugh: I would say it is a more casual bag, yes, being unstructured/slouchy and with the zippers (I'd probably liken it to Balenciaga, maybe, though I don't own one) and handles but I don't use it for work because I tend not to wear things that I love (or my personal style) to work though I can. I also have different things in my bag for work and for play. I have carried it to work though, when I am going out after! I also find large open top totes more practical to use everyday for work (easy to slide in and out A4 documents, take out my wallet for public transport, keep close to me, stuff my lunch in, etc.) However, I don't use my work bags for going out for those reasons.

International shipping was free (FedEx) and they're generally very fast (even my 'preorder' when they launched their new collection shipped earlier than expected). They've recently implemented a minimum spend (I think 150AUD?) to qualify for free shipping but if you get a bag that's not a concern.

So yes, all in all, high quality bags that last! Do let me know if you get anything! :smile1:

Thank you so much for you long and kind answer! It really helps all of us who can't see the bags irl. :flowers:
There is one (pretty dead) deadly ponies thread: http://forum.purseblog.com/handbags...-real-life-experience-with-deadly-802189.html
We won't scold you for posting a lot of Mr Zip pictures there. ;)

The bag is so lovely that I tried to find out if it could be found in Europe..
And it can, Ludmilla!
Here is the link to a UK website.
