What kind of leather do you personally prefer in a Hamilton: smooth or Saffiano, ubo22 & TDW1982?

Andra,

I love the saffiano leather. But I love the softer buttery leather in my E/W Navy w/ black hardware as a change. But when it comes to my larger hammys I prefer the saffiano. It literally stands up well. I am usually running from meeting to meeting with a computer rolling bag. The hammys just sit on the floor or on a desk without spilling the contents all over. And sometimes I'll throw my laptop in the bag itself so that firmer leather makes it easier for me! Plus..I just think they are stunning to look at! ;-)

Passionate description! You're absolutely right! I can almost visualize you with all the stuff you're carrying and how good all looks near your Hamilton.

Just coming from JC Penney and Marshall's and the disappointment was huge. Almost no MKs to find. Actually not even one (1) MK bag at JCP, and only a few at Marshall's, none of which was a Hamilton of any kind....
Browsing through the bahs there to see what MKs they have, I came across a few other bice looking bags in Saffiano. Nice from a distance that is. Touching that Saffiano gave me a nasty, plasticky feeling, and they even didn't keep their shape well. They all had at least a crease if not more, or not holding their shape when placed on their bottom. To compare with them, MKs Selma I found at Marshall's (one medium studded and a mini messenger) were absolutely perfect looking after so many handlings by the customers.

I am looking now into a few Hamiltons I think outlet model - those without a lock, but a metallic plate on front. I think those are only in soft leather or maybe I haven't found yet a Saffiano one. Still looking :smile1:

I love how you called me Andra :smile1: It's sweet!
Andral is a made-up name that contains the first syllable of both my kids' names. And 5 is the bday of my youngest one. On other websites I have nr. 10, which is my first born kid's bday. I love the, so much I made up a name to somehow incorporate both their names.:D

I'm so torn now between an electric blue and a conalt, both EW Hamiltons, very good condition and good size for what I need. Another one I was watching, a dark red one just sold. Which one of the blue's do you think would look more business-like, or more formal? Thanks a bunch.

Keep me posted on your search! They are becoming more and more difficult to find online too. Ebay has a good selection. And you can find good honest prices too.

Oh...I am so sorry. I used my phone to respond to you so I didn't see your entire user name!

What color is conalt? Is that cobalt? What is the difference? Do you have pics or did you share those already?

Today is Pale Blue......its a casual day at work so wearing jeans and navy cardigan. Felt in the "spring mood" since it is pretty warm here for February!


It's a beautiful blue....pic one without flash...pic two with flash.

Sorry, I was on my phone too and cannot see very well. Yes, cobalt. In the end, I bought the one that she's not sure if it's cobalt or electric blue but she dropped the price so between 2 in perfect condition, with the same date of manufacturing, I chose the better deal. :smile1:
Can't wait to hold her!! Yum! I mean, the leather looks so yummy in the pics! :D

Thank you kindly for all the advice, it's really helpful!

Nice choice! But is it only me or the second one, with flash, looks white? I might have a problem with the very pale colors though, and see them as (almost) white in some light.

Remember my searching for a Hamilton? I bought one on the last day of January tuinking that'll arrive this week. Well... no! Because sent 2-day priority mail from KS apparently has to travel all the way to NY and get lost somewhere there.... No update for almost 2 days now.... Called usps and they had no idea, and also they cannot open an investigation sooner than 5 (!!) days since shipping! Really? Not only it wasn't a cheap package/bag, but it was supposed to be delivered on Wednesay, with their 2-day priority mail! I'm so p..ssed right now! They told me to call again on Monday if it doesn't arrive tomorrow. But Mondays are my busiest day of the week, working for almost 12 hours! I asked for a rerouting to get it at work on Monday. But oh... it would cost me more than $12 to do that! And it's not even my fault it got lost somewhere...

How is this even possible?!? :censor:
