I'd get the gold hardware with the luggage! I carry a lot of LV bag's so perhaps that is why I am partial to the gold hardware. I am purchasing this same bag for my Fall Bag!!![]()
This will be my fall bag!!!! When are you buying yours?
I wear mostly silver or white gold and yet I just purchased a quilted luggage Hamilton with gold hardware because it's just so striking...it's really gorgeous...who cares what I normally wear, cause I just had to have it...and I saw the luggage with silver right next to it and it just didn't have that "pop" to it. The gold just seems to be a perfect hue...and so classy!Hi everyone!!!! I'm going to be getting a Hamilton in luggage color (finally chose the color!!!) LOL. Now I need help choosing the hardware. I need ALL opinions please! Gold hardware or Silver hardware ? I normally wear white gold or silver jewelry, except for my wedding set which is yellow gold. So I guess I mix my metals! I need help because I'm unsure which hardware to get because of this!!!! Looking forward to hearing which hardware you would choose and why!!!! TIA
I hope to get to the MK store next weekend to make my purchase! How about you? Make sure you get the MK rain guard, it's about $9.00 but well worth it! It really makes a difference on how long your bag will look like new!!!, and you can use it on all your other band bag's as well!

I'm buyingine in Saturday!!!! Does the MK rain guard leave water spots on the bag? I'm so afraid to use anything because I used rain guard on an MK hobo last year and it left spots!!!! Any help you can give would be great!!!
I say go for the gold, too. I've always preferred white metals in jewelry, but in recent years I've developed an appreciation for gold, as well. I have three Hamiltons with GHW and two with SHW. I chose each metal because of what I thought looked best with the bag color. I agree with the posters here who think gold looks better with luggage leather. When I wear my GHW bags, I have a few pieces of gold jewelry on hand to wear if I feel like matching. Even though my wedding set is white gold, all the yellow gold just seems to enhance it. I also have a few pieces of two-tone jewelry, which would be an option for you as well. Happy deciding and enjoy your new Hamilton!Hi everyone!!!!

Thank you SO much!!! DH is having my diamond re set into a white gold setting now which confused me even more with the purse!!!! I love your quilted Hamilton!!! It's stunning!!!! The MK rep said the same thing you did... The silver didn't give the pop the gold did. Thank you so much for your response!!!
Oh no! sorry to hear that. I use it on all my MK bag's, they sell it in the store and recommend it with a bag purchase. I would mention to them that it stained your bag and see what they say, it's worth a try.... I have used it on my Black and Blue Hamilton's and a monogram piece and have never had a problem... Please post a picture of your new bag on Saturday!!!!![]()
You're very welcome! And please post pics if you can/want to...would love to see!![]()
I had this exact same delima when I was purchasing my Luggage Hamilton last year. I vote for the gold hardware. As it's been said here, the luggage is a warm color and the gold (also warm) compliments it beautifully. I too wear silver and white gold almost exclusively, but I'm not one to match my jewelry to my handbag hardware. So, I would definitely get it with gold hardware!!! Let us know what you decide.
I also have a black hamilton and did that one with silver hardware. So, if you wanted one with silver hardware - you could get two!!!
