Jen, I have both, and the patent Luxe is definitely heavier than the MC e/w. The patent is bulky under the arm and really not a practical bag. I bought it because I love the style and deal with the nuances each time I wear it.
yup maxter, i was also shocked that the patent tote was heavier than the mc! the patent tote looks light from the pics hahahaha. if there is such a thing
I both, but agree w/Roey that the MC is much more comfortable to wear. The MC conforms to my body and the straps are super comfy. That said, g'luck w/your decision.
