DeMellier | The Midi New York bag - is it worth it? What fits + modshots

[@MsStoiber]

I bought the midi New York bag in mocha a while ago. Don‘t get me wrong, I love this bag, but there are two facts about this bag, you should know, if you are a woman, who wants to use the strap. First you can‘t carry it as a shoulder bag, because then it tilts extremely outwards and all your stuff is falling out. Secondly you can use it crossbody, but the thin strap will hurt you immediately, if you carry at least only a few essentials. I think this bag is meant to be carried only as a top handle or at the crook of your arm.

Hi, curious as to how you and other subscribers, like it now that you have had it longer? I just received mine today, having nowhere to see in person, I went with the Midi in Taupe as I thought will be good year round color with my wardrobe and the large doesn't come in Taupe option. My first thought on seeing it was that it is much smaller than I thought it would be. I am used to hauling around quite a bit in large totes. I think it appears much larger, esp. on videos, but the shape limits what can be put as you lose alot of 'real estate' with how narrow it is at the base. Re: the strap, at first I definitely agreed with the viewer who said there was no way to use it. I adjusted the strap so that it is the shortest it can go, it definitely hangs better keeping attached while using as top handle, I move it to the back, as I like to always have it in case I find I need it and putting inside the bag takes up too much room-for me. Keeping the handle short, it works cross body or over shoulder for me, even with all the 'stuff' I think I need to be prepared for anything! I am going to give it more thought and see how the color will work with everything. I did get it for $100.00 off on a sale Saks had last week, so that is a real plus.

Bought this last month from neiman in black with the contrast stitching. Stunning craftsmanship and elevates any outfit! ❤

[@milainnewyork]

Oh that must be gorgeous too! When I ordered, the photo actually showed the white stitching, but I received this one 🤦🏻‍♀️ I love both though, it’s a really wonderful bag!

[@Vickor777]

I bought this black color bag after watching the recommended video on KZbin. However, the texture of the leather that I saw in the video and the texture of the bag that I actually saw were clearly different. I'm a little disappointed because the leather doesn't feel the difference from normal leather bags and it's not as soft as I expected. But I really love the design of this bag. I'm satisfied with the button part that I was worried about.

[@milainnewyork]

Oh sorry to hear about your experience. I published this video almost 2 years ago so I can’t tell for sure if their quality has changed. They also have bags in different leathers/textures, so that could be the reason. I still love mine and it’s holding up well. Thank you for watching!

[@snowwhite5035]

Thank you so much for all of your reviews! I also watch your sézane reviews and I want to say I am very grateful that you take the time to do these videos! keep up the good work :)

[@milainnewyork]

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words 🩷

[@poetrybysuhashani__]

i've been searching for a new city work bag & this is perfect! great video & insight into a demellier bag =)

[@milainnewyork]

I’m so glad you liked it! 🫶🏼 I love this bag so much and it’s holding up really well. Definitely worth the investment 🖤

[@rowybohlen3176]

Very good video, still trying to decide between this in light tan vs the Polene mini cyme. I for one have the Polene Tonca in Taupe which I love so good choice.

[@milainnewyork]

Great choice! I love Tonca ❤️ You can’t go wrong with any, but Polène Cyme goes on your shoulder and the DeMellier doesn’t (unless you add the long strap). The Midi New York in the size I have doesn’t fit a lot because of the narrow bottom. I really love both bags, quality is great and the styles are beautiful!

[@PingWon-nw2yy]

Very good, these bags are all products that I am good at producing,

[@LileeCuisia]

Hi, just want to say, you are such a lovely lady. You look classy and elegant with your style. Have a wonderful day!

[@milainnewyork]

Aww thank you! I really appreciate your kind words. You’re so sweet 🥹 You too, have a wonderful weekend!

[@karensantiago6419]

Do you still love the bag? Considering in getting the caramel color. 😍😍

[@milainnewyork]

100%!! It’s amazing and still looks new 🖤 the caramel is stunning!!

[@lizll6033]

Thanks for the detailed video helps me to decide 😊

[@milainnewyork]

I’m so glad 🌺❤️ thank you for watching!

[@LLhypno]

Was wondering how you feel about it not having a zip top

[@milainnewyork]

It doesn’t really bother me, I wear a Cuyana tote for work almost daily (2 different colors/size ) and they don’t have a zipper. I think for a crossbody bag a zipper/closure is essential since I’m more carefree and the opening might get too exposed. For a top handle or shoulder bag, I feel the bag is secure enough :)

[@gabrielabahchevanova4427]

Can the corners go inside or does it have to stay in its original shape?

[@milainnewyork]

They don’t go inside, the leather is quite structured in that area so it stays in its original shape :)

[@gemmina69]

Hello dear, wonderful bag, I ask you if the bottom is rigid. Thank you for your attention Gemma

[@nyc1128]

It’s not rigid, same smooth leather finish as the rest of the bag 😊

[@HettiePena]

Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens *#yutulu*😘😘😘

[@oes125]

Are both screens the same size?

[@milainnewyork]

Yes I’m sharing only the DeMellier midi New York bag in this video, it’s the same bag in both screens

[@rumby8584]

Can it fit a laptop?

[@milainnewyork]

No, unfortunately this size won’t fit a laptop. The next size (large) will though!

[@PoppyMaxwell]

New friend here sending may full support. *#yutulux*

[@teeter-totter]

the bag is nice, you are pretty but the audio is horrendous. cant hear anything

[@milainnewyork]

Oh that’s odd! The audio sounds so clear to me! Is it possible that it’s your phone/computer? I’m listening to it right now and my voice is super super clear

[@MakeWay4CJ]

I can and it’s clear so 😬🤷🏽‍♀️

[@milainnewyork]

@@MakeWay4CJ thank you for the feedback!!
