I snagged this at the Wertheim Village outlet today - luggage N/S Hamilton. It was on sale for 159€ so it was a pretty easy decision :) They also had black and a cream coloured one. But I don't know how long the sale will last.

Is that soft leather? I think the luggage Hamilton totes in soft leather are fabulous! The color goes so well with the more casual silhouette. :smile1:

Dark red/burgundy is a gorgeous color for a handbag and goes with a lot, just like any neutral. I have a Coach bag in this color. It's often viewed as a fall/winter color, but I love it year-round. The pictures I've seen of the merlot Hamilton tote with gold hardware are amazing! I definitely could see that one used as a formal/business tote.

Cobalt blue is also a gorgeous color. I own a large sapphire Selma and always get compliments when I use it. However, I don't use it as much as my other bags because cobalt doesn't work as well when you are wearing a lot of other bright colors. It looks awesome against black, though.

Thank you, it helps to have an honest opinion from the outside. Merlot seems to be a no brainer from those 2. Meanwhile I came across one more that is good looking and all but I don't think that type could go as even half-formal so to speak:

And this one is close to the cobalt blue I like:

There are a couple merlot ones, all looking very good to say the least.

I think the second one is closer to navy, in my opinion. Navy is a great neutral, too, if you have more of it in your wardrobe than black.

Cobalt is a bold, bright blue. It's very different from navy.

I know but I could 't find the cobalt one in so many lists I have saved across few websites :D Ineed to search for it by color.

One of the cobalt blue ones was just sold, that's why I couldn't find it. Now I need to find the second one I was watching :D

Thinking and digging around, I found a few I like and I'm watching them goping to come to a decision... How formal do you think a dark red/burgundy is? Or a cobalt blue? I'm sooo undecided! :smile1:

First let me preface by saying I am a Hamilton addict so I am very partial. I own just about every color in the N/S tote. I find that all of the colors look very professional! Since I am lucky enough to have a wide selection to choose from I can either go neutral or go for a pop of color. For example, if I am wearing a black and white outfit I'll choose my chili for a pop of color. But if I am wearing something like an animal print cardigan or cowl neck blouse, I'll carry my dark dune, luggage, or black.

Last week I wore a cobalt blue leather jacket with a black cowl and black slim pants and cobalt flats. Since my jacket and shoes matched my electric blue hammy perfectly I went with it. I was going to carry my black hammy but decided I needed color to bump middle of the week ho-hums. I got many compliment on the outfit. I work at a conservative fortune 100 company so I think the electric blue hammy is very professional and stunning.

I think the burgundy or Merlot is one of the most gorgeous and professional colors MK has to offer! But I have carried my (fun colors) raspberry, pear, grape, aquamarine and clementine hammys to work. It's the style of the bag that makes it so professional looking so you can really play around with your color choices in my opinion!

Thank you for your response, TDW1982! I love Hamiltons more than other styles anyway. I don't really like the Jet Sets, it just seemed I could get a pretty neutral bag in which to be able to carry more stuff than in a smaller bag, so that's why I was looking into them for a while. But then it kinda struck me that hammies are actually better looking and I can fit quite a lot in my cream ne if needed.
I like your idea of pop of color, it wouldn't necessary be only black to be formal. I love electric blue too!

Now I'm undecided between the large NS tote and the EW that has that middle zipped compartment. I need to try on both of them in front of a mirror before deciding. I like the middle compartment but I kinda like more how the NS tote goes with the outfits I'd wear. That, and I'm 5'9" so it would go well with my frame too I guess.

What kind of leather do you personally prefer in a Hamilton: smooth or Saffiano, ubo22 & TDW1982?
Click to expand...
Andral5, I personally prefer saffiano for the large Hamilton tote because I like structured bags that don't slouch. But I also think the soft leather Hamilton could be great for those that like slouchy bags.

BOTTOM LINE: I think the large Hamilton tote looks better with structure (saffiano). I think the e/w Hamilton satchel looks good either way (saffiano or soft leather).

Oh yes! You can carry the N/S tote! I am 5'7 and I do fine. I love the E/W hammys but they are just too small for all the stuff I have to carry! I do have two E/W hammys. One in blossom and one in Navy with Black hardware. I carry those and my suttons, selmas etc on the weekends. My N/S hammys are just so heavy to carry when I'm shopping etc. I think you'll be safe and love any choice you make. Just consider how much stuff you need to carry with you.
