I bought this MK a few months ago and I really like the leather on it. It is soft against the body but does not completely loose it's shape. I got rid of two coach bags rather then this one when I was down sizing some of my black totes. I had originally bought it to be a gift for my dd but she prefers Browns for her totes.


Wow! This is the definition of what black and gold should be done!!! I'm normally a fan of silver, but the color of gold hardware on this bag is perfect! It's a beautiful bag.
 
hope it works out for you the second time around! I love this bag but unfortunatelyI had to forget about because as much as I love it, it doesn't look good on me. I've tried it with every size, color, and material and I just don't carry it well. I have to admire from afar!



Great views, vink, thanks for sharing!



DC - we should all create bags and sell them to each other lol

Thank you! :) I'm over the moon now. :)


I bet as a group we could design bags that real woman love and want to keep using.


I'm still fickle on my choices. And I ramble a lot on this. You may not believe I have it written in a separate note and have edited on it a couple times already. :) Still not done. :( I just like too many things, I guess.
 
Here's the homework. This is my dream bag, I think. :)

The size should be about 12-13" long, 8-9" tall, and 4-7" depth.
One zipper opening from one side to the other side. I must be able to open the zipper with one hand. No assistant needed from another hand or other outside object.
It must have both the handheld option and a long adjustable strap that's about 1" wide with no weight distribution. The strap must be adjustable to fit both the cross body and side body length and it must be removable. And the link that connect the strap to the bag must be able to turn so I can just grab it and put on without having to keep turning the strap so it won't roll and dig into my shoulder. The handle must be comfortable to hold. Not too big and not too small. And it has to be easy to keep clean. (My hands aren't the cleanest ones.) It should hold its shape and have a drop big enough for me to put on my crook of arms, but not too long it become another shoulder strap. And it must not dig into my arms if I choose to carry it that way.
There should be 2 small pocket inside. They should be about 5" deep. One I'll use for my tissue paper and car key. This one should have a zipper on. Another for my mobile phone. This one doesn't need any zipper.
The inside must be lined with easy-to-clean material that can either be washed or wipe off. The lining must be of solid and not-dark color.
The material of the bag could be leather or a coated canvas. (I find out I love my wide horn so much. It's my first coated canvas and now I understand why people love their LV. :) ) It must be light and easy to keep clean. No fancy embroideries or anything that will make the bag look fuzzy and might snag or attract dirt. It must not be too stiff. I like my bag slouch, but not too slouch it's hard to open or just reveal what I keep inside when I sit it down open.

I think this is it. :)

Thank you! :) I'm waiting for someone to produce it, too. :)

The funny thing is that my wide horn is very close to the description. If only it has one more pocket inside the bag and the strap is a bit wider. I guess now I'm playing favoritism here. :D I think I like all my purchases for this year a lot. The quantity is so few compare to other years before, but the quality totally ***** it all. :)
 
Tonight, I'm very upset with the development of the customer service in a brand I used to like. I just found out they ban a customer just because that customer decided to sell her no-longer-wanted bag from that brand. Really? I thought the bag is mine after I bought it and it's my right to do whatever I want with them. I'm sad and infuriated. And I'm disappointed to see that some people think it's not important at all. Some even applauded of the policy coz it'll hopefully prevent the reseller. Well, people do have different opinion, but well,.... I guess I just didn't see it coming. I ranted it out with DH and he laughed and said that if I feel that way, he agrees with me that I should no longer support the brand. I know I'll not buy from them again and I'm ok with it. But I'm just sad that this practice is happening to the brand I once loved. Not to mention that I feel like a fool that I can't let their bags that I own go coz I still love them. :(

I am guessing you do not want to state the brand. I know some companies do not like people to make a constant profit off their bags via resale. I have heard it happen before to people . I have also heard of people be being banned from some companies for too many returns. If I were you I would just enjoy what you have and don't worry to much unless it happens to you. I myself have not had any issues and used to get caught up in things too that I read. My DH then said sometimes there is more to the stories then what you read. Hope this helps you to stop stressing.
 
Got a late start today and the sky looks very ominous so I am switching out of my Kate Spade. Rain and open top bag do not go well together. At least I got to take her out and see it and give it a bit of moisturizer before I put her back .
