I saw the other thread as well. I don't think the OP was trying to stir the pot, but it went that way quickly. Some people think that the MMK line has aot of styles that are similar to other brands, and though I have MMK bags, I admit there are some that I won't buy bc they are so close to others. I feel this way about Rebecca Minkoff (I'm not trying to insult anyone!!!) and I don't buy that brand, but I know why people love her stuff & think everyone should do what makes them happy. For me, I won't spend more money on a bag then I do on my monthly mortgage payment, though I know many people do & it's not an issue for them. For some people, a Chanel or Hermes is just not doable. We should all buy what we love & not worry about other people. I love this forum but this convo is getting discouraging.
 
Ha ha ha...do you even own the Cynthia? Doesn't seem like your style lol.
lol! You are right, I don't have the Cynthia! lol! See? You all know me here so well and I have become very fond of all of you. I know I have my opinions about the saffiano leather, but I just love how happy they make all of you and I think it's great you are enjoying them so much. I often even comment on the pretty colors and even though I don't own any, I appreciate the beauty in them and how much everyone enjoys them. If anything makes so many people happy, than it HAS to be a good thing! I have even admitted I prefer it on the Hamiltons.

You gals have shown me so many beautiful MK bags and I have purchased several of them. Yes, 'Atagirl', back to shopping for more bags! lol!

Hermes really blows my mind! I was showing some of my friends the prices on them and they couldn't even comprehend it. One said they'd rather have the 100,000.00 in a paper bag! lol! This wasn't meant to be discouraging, just wondering WHY this constant MK bashing?? I don't get it or see how it is necessary? And any explanations so far, still don't justify it. I was only tying to show that MK is not the only one copying other designers. They all do it. I wish I had never opened that thread. I knew better and did it anyway! lol! Kind of like 'Pandora's Box'
 
i agree with you, i just don't get why there seems to be sooo much hatred towards a bag!! I read some of the threads the other day and people really are quite snobby in their attitude. I buy the bags because i like a style or colour and the price point allows me to have a range of bags to choose from every day- i get enjoyment from that. I have my own opinions on some of the more expensive designer bags but i don't go bashing them or the people who choose them. Life is too short to spend time posting negative comments and actually it is too short to analyse what bags people carry. I can spot a nice looking bag in the street but i then don't spend time looking to see who (or even if there is one) the designer is. I am certainly not going to waste time trying analyse if that bag is copy of another bag and work out who designed it first. As has been said numerous times all bags look similar to whatever is fashionable. Some of the mmk bags do resemble others but i don't care and i'm not spending my precious time to see research who copies who.
totally agree! I am very sick of the snobs.

I'm unashamed of my purchases. I'm sure if I could afford LV or any other brands that MK has replicated I would buy it. However, just because LV is out of my price range doesn't mean I don't deserve a nice handbag.

Well, I can afford LV and prefer MK for my every day bags. MK has a vast range of color choices and styles and the quality is top notch. I've purchased 9 MK bags for the price of 1 LV. The high end designers (LV, Chanel, etc.) have increased their prices so much over the years that they've really out-priced a majority of the buying market.

I'm downright proud of my MK bags and get so many compliments on them everywhere I wear them! All my girlfriends are bugging me for them. I do buy , sell and trade, but most of them I don't get to list from my friends wanting them first! lol! It's so much fun. I have never had so much fun with any other handbag before. I wish 'other' folks would just leave us enjoy it and go away! lol!

+1 You've got a point, Ubo. I have a few high end designer bags but I like my MK bags for daily use & I own over a dozen. I have found them well made, stylish & offer a variety of looks to coordinate with what I'm wearing. I still carry my higher end bags but not for everyday. And like you, I think some of the premier designers like LV, Chanel, Fendi, ect, have raised their prices to exclude a large buying block of consumers. Now whether they did that to keep their brand exclusive, I don't know. For those who love those brands, I mean no disrespect. I happen to admire, love, & own some myself. But not everyone can afford tens of thousands or even thousands for a purse. I don't have a Hermes for that reason...a little out of my price range for a purse. I do like some of the Hermes styles & their scarves are to die for. What it all boils down to is everyone should be able to enjoy the purses & accessories they buy & not feel ashamed of them. I am just as proud to carry one of my MK purses as I am to carry my Fendi, ect. In the end, they're purses. Haters are going to hate for whatever reasons they have. Life is too short for me to worry about other's opinions. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, me included. I go out of my way not to say anything negative about anyone's purses. That is unless they are carrying a counterfeit bag which I will try to point out without making the person feel bad.
 
I try to stay out of and away from the bashing threads. I carry MK because I love them and I think it's great quality for the money. I say "carry what you want when you want"! If someone prefers the high end designers like LV and Chanel then they are entitled to that but no one is entitled to put down someone else or another brand just because it costs less.

Well stated.
 
I think that some people are very caught up in their "status" and what they wear and carry defines them so that they are offended when they see an affordable version of their high end bag, jewelry or clothing widely available and seemingly on every other person on the street. They think the bag makes them special to others and if everyone has a version of it, well, they aren't that special, just my opinion, no offense to anyone.

Honestly, this is exactly the conclusion that I came to, as well.....[emoji3]

For some this is likely the case.
 
Somebody's beautiful may be your idea of "tacky" and vice versa. There is no need to get so upset over what strangers on the internet like or this case, dislike. The honest truth is many MMK designs do mimic those of premier designs. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. I like that, most of the time, he adds more functional value to the handbag and not everyone wants to spend thousands for a bag. The double zip style that you posted is not an MMK original design. That style has been around for forever and when I think of that style, I think of Prada. I am sure that Prada released their version before MK released his version. Tory Burch also has a design just like this style. But, POHtato, Pahtato. If you love it and can afford it, BUY IT! Enjoy your purchases with pride knowing that you own something that you love. I love LV monogram. I've seen people on forums bashing it constantly, calling it tacky and overpriced plastic. It isn't fun to see but they're just as entitled to that opinion as I am entitled to carry it. So, no cares given here to their opinion. I can't force them to like something that they don't and trying to do so would be a little disrespectful.
