“And there are the cheapie bags that I use for travel and other places where a nice bag wouldn't be the wisest thing to carry. I could never spend that much on a bag that I thought I would bring EVERYWHERE with me.

And so yes - the cost of a bag really affects how I use them. At least that was what I thought until I got my Provence bag from MDBM. I never thought I would be able to get a bag I would consider NICE at this price range, let alone leather.

That these bags are designed not by top designers, but by member’s feedbacks is a really novel idea. Every edition just keeps getting better with a new pocket here or a zipper there - so what you get is a really well thought out design.

If I had to be tough on MDBM, I'll say I'll love the bag even more if it came with a light color inner lining. But that's just me."

“I like handbags with a bit of structure. Hate bags that look like a limp gym bag when you set them down. This bag seems to be holding its shape beautifully. Love that the main compartment has a zipper. So many bags today are open at the top making it easy for talented thieves to reach in and grab your wallet. The color is rich and the fabric supple. I’ve detached the zip bag that it came with. Most of the time I use that to attach my keys so I can easily pull my key out from the depths, as you can see in the photo.

My friends keep telling me that your purse is the best accessory and that I needed to spend money on one to make a statement. Well, I saw this and knew it was the perfect addition to my wardrobe! The leather is awesome and the design is perfect for me. The best part is that the price was more than affordable. As a matter of fact, the price was so good that I ordered two!!!!!

You can’t go wrong with this bag!" ⏤ Irene J., MDBM member and customer
