Thank you, I was able to choose my bag so knew it was a MIA bag and was quite excited because I had never had one before. The red leather is only on the collar, the inside is the red fabric lining. And yes, the leather is extremely smooth, I love this bag!Now were you able to choose the MIA bag, or is that what they send you? I saw some comments on YT videos saying that there was a time you could search Dooney & ILD specifically for MIA, but it looks like it's gone now.
Thank you for the info. Your bag is beautiful! Is the whole inside of your bag that red leather too? I was looking on Goodwill, and saw a MIA florentine. The leather looks so smooth on it, compared to the other flo satchels - thanks for confirming this too.
