Rebecca Minkoff MAC owners

[melaniesc]

I'm considering buying one of these. Can you tell me how much you can fit in it? Like can you use it for an everyday bag or is it too small?
Also, what is the quality of the leather like? I've read some reviews that have said that the lighter colors stain easily and that it doesn't come out.

I have a metallic gold one that I will be honest doesn't get much use. I think that has to do more with the color, but I can fit plenty in there (phone, small wallet, lipgloss, sunglasses, etc) it's just really heavy. The leather quality is great, but with the chain and the studs, by the time it's filled up its kind of a pain to carry.

I've been considering buying the MAC bag too. Which color are you thinking of getting?

It's definitely roomier than it appears, but like pp said - it gets heavy! I brought it with as a crossbody on a trip to Europe, and while the size was perfect for my needs (fit my POS camera, Blackberry, wallet, fold-up map, tissues, chapstick, and a small travel guide), by the end of the day my shoulder was really hurting. I wouldn't use it as an everyday bag, but that's mainly because I'm a big bag girl (I have a RM Nikki hobo that's my everyday bag).

The leather one mine is fantastic quality (the royal blue I have is very sturdy), but I can see why others would shy away from the lighter leathers. I bought a peach MAM on Gilt (sheesh, I sound like a RM ho), and that leather is MUCH more of a PITA than my Nikki or MAC. Sucks, because I love the MAM, but I can't carry it often b/c everything stains it, even dark jeans that I've washed many times over.

My MAC holds a ton. The leather I have is an embossed croc so it doesn't really get dirty. I would love a mini one.

I am an RM lover though too. I carried a aubergine colored Nikki all last winter and I have a Full size black MAB which is probably my favorite bag ever.

I really love the the raspberry and "bright green" (actually more of a seafoam green) colors, but now that falls is coming, it would be harder for me to buy those colors.

(I already bought the pink ostrich embossed Beau clutch...and got it on sale!)

Right now I'm loving the beige with black chain (but I would worry about color transfer from denim since most light leather has this issue).

I also like the black or olive green. Great for Fall/Winter.

cransplash - i think my first choice would be a green bag, since I don't have any of those. otherwise i'm pretty open, but feel like it has to be dark because i'm afraid of staining.

I have a dark gray with gold hardware from maybe 2 years ago and it has held up really well. I use it on the weekends, its perfect to run errands with or to use for a night out. It also holds a fair amount of stuff.

I have the MAC in light grey. It has held up well and can hold a lot...my big ass wallet, phone, makeup, camera, etc. When it gets heavy, I change the straps from messenger bag style to purse style (2 shoulder straps). It looks a little bit dressier this way also. I bought mine from piperlime using 20% off and my birthday promo so it ended up being much less than retail.

I can fit a lot in mine --- a big wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, lipgloss, small calendar....give or take a few other small things. It's pretty roomy and I don't find that it gets too heavy.

I love RM's leather. I have a black nikki that I also use (that gets heavy!) and a MAB that I love for work. I'm a big fan! I really want a mini MAC now
