Yes it looks perfect :) Thank you dear, such a lovely bag, can't get enough of it

It can get slack after some use and a lot of ladies like that. I like a sturdy base in mine so I got one for me. I also bought a base shaper for my LV speedy 30 a while back. But to me a base shaper is all about your personal preference.

I love the brown monogram but I don't like the lighter handles. :(
I went yesterday and purchased the Macy's one. I got Vanilla with the luggage colored handles. I'm not as in love with it as I thought I would be. I may be returning it....not sure yet. It's my first MK, but I'm a Coachie at heart....

I checked out both before making my purchase. I too liked the darker handles but I like the larger bag and cheaper price from the outlet bag. I have thought about changing the handles to Lv ones so they will patina.. I not sure which would fit..

any way, my attraction to this bag were the outside pockets :)

I tried using the outside pockets this morning for my cell phone and I wasn't able to slip it in and out as easily as I thought I would be able to. When the bag is full of my stuff and on my shoulder the pockets really don't seem to function that well..

I found that with the macys bag as well... :(

I'm returning mine tonight. I can't justify $250 on a purse I don't love. I wanted to love it so badly!

I hear you....
But on that note, I wouldn't have paid 250$ when the other is 70$ less...
But to each their own.

Haha. Very good point.

Dillard's online has a similar bag with colored handles in the saffiano leather. I just ordered the Macy's version tonight as they had a $25 off FORYOU code. I got the vanilla. I don't know if I would purchase the Totally - but I do want an LV - I just am having trouble wrapping my brain around the price. I love all my Coach leather bags (and am salivating over the Legacy line) and I have the large MK Hamilton tote in gray croc and I love it too and get tons of compliments on it.

LOL - I forgot I've been hanging out in the LV forums exclusively so my sig reflects that. OOPS!!

I just bought one from ebay... I am very happy I wanted the lighter straps and larger version from the Macy's one but I couldn't get to the outlet so I have been checking ebay finally one popped up. I have the one without the zipper across the whole bag the one with the zipper in the middle its just a little to small for me and the shape is awkward when the bag is full...which it always was when I used it also I love the totally so this looks more like the totally

Omg I love love love your tote, and it has feet on the bottom!!!

I LOVE this bag! I live in Canada as well (Pickering), could you please let me know where your friend purchased this bag from? Is the drive farther to Buffalo? I just might need to make a road trip!

You should be able to get it from the outlet in Vaughan Mills!!! You should call to see if they have it - failing that the MK outlet in Niagara - it's a factory bag. I am going to Niagara on Wednesday and I can post here if they have it.

I was there this past weekend and they didn't have it.. I was sad as I wanted the vanilla. They did have it however on the us side.. I was there a week ago.
