Hi ladies! Just purchased my 2nd hamilton (large in the color cinder) my question is - does anyone know of a way to keep it from getting slouchy. My last hamilton has seen better days and I do not want that to happen to my new bag. Thanks in advance.


What about a handbag organiser that sits inside. Someone over in the Mulberry forum just got one as their bag was slouching on one side and it made a real difference. Nshe took before and after shots. If you had one from the start it woupd prevent slouching even starting.

I know there are particular makes that people recommend, so hopefully someone else can chip in with that info for you as I have never used them.

I also always store my bags with the original packaging inside when not using them to keep their shape. Some like Selmas that doesn't matter, but I have other models where it is a good idea, like my sutton.
 
Hi everyone! I'm new to the MK forum but I've been a fan for a while now and am hoping to join the HH club ASAP. I'm eyeing the Hamilton in black/gold on eBay but I can't seem to decide on a size. I think I prefer the East/West silhouette more than the North/South for me (I'm 5'4").


How many sizes did the East/West version come in? I know there's the medium that retailed for $298 and the larger crossbody one with the middle compartment for $358. Was there a third version?

I'm have a big Hamilton collection. I'm 5 ft. I like the n/s because you can carry a lot but it is a big bag and heavy bag. I also have the e/w but I find them too small. Maybe for quick errand run or to church etc.there is a traveler version that has the lock and key I like. Perfect size but I don't like the leather gets scratched easily.
At first I love the hamiltons and collected the all at least 20 bags! Now I hardly use them and thinking of selling them. Now I carry the selma often because it's lighter and just as big.
Maybe you can carry it around before you buy. Are you usually a big bag person with lots of stuff in your bags? The ns would work but if you don't carry many things go with ew so much easier to carry. Good luck!!
 
hi ladies! just wondering if you could help me decide if I should sell my hamiltons or hang on to them since it could be a collectors item. I have 2 specchio bags in coffee and luggage georgeous bags but the are so big more so than one without the lining. Should I save them or sell them? I won't get 100% of what I paid. They are beautiful but I don't use them. What do you think.

If you don't use them I recommend selling them. You can put your earnings toward a new bag that you love!

Thank you for replying! I ended up going into a MK boutique to try them on and I actually prefer the N/S version! It's much more practical for me. Now I'm debating on the color.


I tracked down the luggage and navy ones but I can't find a black one anywhere near me. I wear a lot of black so I thought black would be the best choice. So I either get the luggage or navy one now (on sale) or wait it out for a black one (most likely from eBay at an inflated price). What to do? :confused1:

How many do you have? It might be best to sell the ones you don't use and maybe hang on to one or two that are special or classic.

I think the Navy is beautiful & it's a great neautral. If you have your heart set on black i'd wait for that to come along at a good price.

Are you looking for black with gold hardware or black with silver hardware?
 
Oh, okay. That will be a little harder to find. Black with silver hardware is currently on super sale at the MK site. It's also on sale at Bloomingdale's, but for a lot more.

Thanks! Since the black/gold one seems impossible to find right now (at a decent price) I'm leaning towards getting the luggage one because it's such a classic MK color. I already have another black leather tote style bag, so it might be best to get something different.

If you really want the black one, I would hold out and try to find it. I love luggage and own a large luggage Selma, but I think it's more of an every day casual color. The large n/s Hamilton tote is truly a stunning bag that I think looks best in more sophisticated colors like black, navy (since it can be a black bag substitute), and dark dune. I own it in black w/shw and dark dune w/ghw. Although, this is just my humble opinion. :smile1:

You're right, I really want a black/gold one. I might get a luggage for now and buy a black one down the road once I can find it for a decent price. The stores near me that have the luggage one only have a couple left so it's a now or never situation (especially at the sale price).
