Ive never had a MK bag and I love the leather. I also like large bags, as I am 5'7" and quite 'fluffy'.

I got this at TJMAXX a couple of days ago for $229. It's the large tote in this ebay listing.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Michael-Kors-Kingsbury-Large-Tote-Black-/280893213153#ht_1591wt_689

Not sure whether to keep it, I really like the leather, the hardware and the shape of the bag but am wondering if it's too big and it's got a large footprint on the bottom, 12"x8", kinda like a bucket bag on the bottom married to a tote on the top. My partner says it looks like a feed bag and keeps calling it 'Seabiscuit' :p

I dunno, what do you think?

I say keep it! I'm too short for one, but I love the Kingsbury style! One thing to consider though is that the Kingsbury does get quite heavy when filled up.

I know it gets heavy. If I carry it as a purse, I won't have much in it. But I like that there's room for an iPad and a Kindle, then it gets really heavy! I used it this way today when I had to sit and wait at the VA hospital all day with my partner. I thought I'd test it out trying to decide whether to keep.

I do like the style too, and thanks for your opinion!

I'm 5'6" and 'fluffy' also and I gotta tell you that I'd wear that bag proudly! I don't think it's too big at all. I love it, I think it's gorgeous!

I bought the same bag just a couple of days ago, and I too am torn on whether to keep it. I love that it's huge, but after researching online and staring at it for a while, I'm just not certain.

Also, the lining of my bag is black! Not beige like in the eBay photos. What color is your lining?? :O
