Hello MK lovers! I have been a Coach lover but nothing from the new line interests me, looking at MK. I have always wanted one.

While I love the look of the Hamilton, it's just not right for me a little too large and structured.

I was looking at the Jet Set tote. What do you ladies think of this bag? Also should I get the logo bag or saffiano? Here are my 2 choices:

Saff Jet Set in Dark Slate

OR

Logo Jet Set in Black

TIA

I personally prefer the Hamilton over the Jet Set. I have the large Hamilton and have considered buying the Jet Set but it does not seem as study to me. I prefer the texture of the Hamilton. However it is heavier than the Jet Set and that maybe be a draw back for some. You can buy the Hamilton in a smaller size. Just my view. Hope that helps.

I have 2 of the mono signature totes in vanilla and brown. They are my favorite go to bags because of ease of use. Out of these 2 styles it depends on your preference. The jet set has a zipper for more security and is in saffanio leather, love the blue by the way! The signature tote is in pvc with leather handles with no zipper at the top but a middle zipper compartment. I think in regards to care both are the same as they can both easily be wiped down if dirty. Best time to try a new brand is when they are on sale. Macys is having a presale in store 25% including MK ends the 17. On the 18th discount is 20% and nordstroms should match if you ask.

I have the Jet Set Sig and love it for when I'm traveling .. Plus I have the Jet Set Travel Tote in Saff and any of the bags done in this leather are super easy to take care of ... I have 2 of the Hamilton Totes and by far they are my favorite bags ... Have you thought about getting one of the East West Hamilton Satchels ??? They are way smaller then the Tote with all the gorgeous Hamilton details ... :D

That's what I love about the Hamilton the hardware and lock. Maybe I will see if Macy's have any e/w I can try.

mymystique, Thanks for the tip on the Macy's presale too!!

Check out the outlet Hamilton, too, if you haven't already seen one (there are some great pics in this forum.) If you like something a little less structured, the leather on these Hamiltons is buttery soft and the bag also comes in the logo PVC, which is a little softer than the saffiano. It's an E/W bag with a middle zip, larger than the lock satchel and smaller than the lock tote (although it's just as roomy!)

So ladies.....today I went to Macy's and did a pre-sale on an MK bag. I get her Wednesday!

I actually did not like the Signature or Saff Jet Set. I tried out the E/W Hamilton. Ehh, its was ok. Then I tried out the N/S Hamilton in Black with GHW and fell head over heels! I actually do not have a black bag, so this will be perfect. I got the slouchy leather Hamilton instead of the Saff I did not like the texture of the saffiano leather. I will post pics when I pick her up!

Sorry for asking advice about different bags and going with the bag I didn't want in the first place. I guess that's what forums and trying bags on is for :-)
