I have 3 LVs myself & one of them is the Speedy but I do not knock other designers or people who have them & are not LV. I'm sorry but I think it's a little snooty to look down on others because they can't afford a LV or Gucci. I own about 8 MK bags & a wallet & I think his Speedy bags are just as nice.
Yes, I actually bought one. It sat there for two months unused, tags still on because it reminded me of a Speedy ripoff and the handles were very stiff and didn't seem comfortable. So, I returned it and spent the money on an ipad instead hehe. It wasn't for me, but I can see how someone would rather pay $200-$300 for a MK Grayson than $800 for a Speedy when they are the exact same style. MK also has this exact style with a strap to mimic the Bandouliere.

I just read through all of the comments. Some of the comments are pretty judgmental and uncalled for. I would never judge anyone for their choice of brands to carry as long as it is legitimate (counterfeit). And, even if they do carry a counterfeit, to each their own. MK makes some great bags even though IMO they're not as durable. Look on eBay and you will see the condition of some of the bags that are only about a year old. But, to judge someone and think that they are wannabes is a little harsh and snobbish

Amen!
And I would add this quote from King Solomon:
"What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." (Ecc 1:9)
I loved that MK had bags similar to LV because I was able to use his version of Totally before making the Totally LV plunge, without immediately buying Totally and taking the wallet hit because I realized post-purchase that Totally wasn't for me. I sold the Michael bag, put it toward my Totally, and have no regrets. It's kind of like a cheaper version to "try" bags. I am currently doing the same with a insolite style wallet, from Henri Bendel. Now I know when I make my purchases that it will be instantly a perfect fit. I'm not ashamed.
I agree buy what you can afford and love. However, the thing that absolutely bugs with MK and Coach is that they're EVERYWHERE. That doesn't bother some people and that's fine. It's the same reason I avoided LV canvas bags for many years. I just don't like to see my bag coming and going.
For instance, a few years ago a group of girlfriends and I got together for someone's birthday. It was about 8 or 9 of us and 3 different girls had the same MK mirrored speedy-like bag. No thanks.

i have both the MK grayson and the DE speedy, and i get way more compliments on the grayson. i like that the grayson vachetta does not oxidize and i like that it has more gold hardware and detailing. To me, they are different bags.
Just because people carry MK bags does not mean they cant afford higher end bags. Since when do people Need to display their wealth by the price of the bag theyre carrying. the type of bag you carry does not equate wealth since everyone's threshold is different.

I actually bought the Grayson medium satchel... And the matching belt... I also bought a Selma. They are really addorable bags but I couldn't get over the fact that they look like lv bags.. So I returned all three items, went and purchased my speedy 30 and haven't been happier!!! I have 2 Michael kors bags that I absolutely love, their leather is nice but for a canvas bag I'd prefer a l.v.
