WOW! So @faeriemoon how do you like it... It'll be good to have a review from someone I 'know' and trust... I still might opt in one fine day, afterall...

In my pantry with my cupcakes...

@stevieb Full disclosure: Bought it new from someone. I was very leery of the M & G website based on the many online reviews.

Pluses: Beautiful leather, slouchy comfortable feel, nice and roomy. Looks really cool in that minimalist, not trying too hard way.

Minuses: Extremely slouchy, nothing like the Dooney Donegal we both have. Bottom looks like it will bend after a short time of being fully loaded. Cell phone pocket does not hold my phone. For some the lack of closure might be an issue.

I bought my bag at a very reduced price. Although I think it might be worth the $400; that's kind of a stretch. I paid half, and frankly that's all I would be willing to spend if I were to get another.

I know sometimes there are sales and deals on the website; if you are still interested I would definitely wait for a deal. Ebay is notorious for selling bags with the monograms removed (they must be customer returns), however, you can see the big smear where the monogram has been removed, so be careful.

In summary, it's a keeper if you get it for a good price.
