Michael Kors In defense of Michael Kors

Have not posted in a while, but I too am an equal opportunity bag whore. While MK is definitely a bit over-saturated in the market, I have to give him his props for remaining on top of the fashion game year after year after year. Anyway, I just bought a gorgeous black/gold lambskin Rhea backpack and while yes, it seems the Rhea is on every other shoulder, much like the LV Neverfull, at the end of the day it speaks volumes for this bag's ability to be versatile, comfortable and well made, as hundreds of thousands of women wearing it daily can't be wrong.

I love the Rhea backpack! And your right it is surprisingly super comfortable to wear!

I love my MK bags as much as I love my Chanel bags, LV bags, etc. I have over 20 MK bags and I love them all.

I don’t use my bags to show the world I can afford Chanel, LVs or MK. I buy them because I like them and because thankfully, I can afford them but I am by no means rich. I don’t care if I go out and I see 200 people with my same bag; if anything, I am happy that we all have good taste.

Good point, you're right his products usually are very versatile! I think a lot of people have been favoring either his vanilla logo (I see it everywhere here) because it goes with everything or plain colored/no signature logo accessories.

Absolutely adorable puppy on a side note!!

The question for all MK fans, do you prefer his pebble or saffiano leather? I'm interested to know. I seem to bounce back and forth depending on my mood.

I prefer saffiano because it's more durable. Unless it's a lighter color, I think it's harder to clean. But I really like the pebble leather too.

Your first sentence ! In same club!

Nice! Do you like signature logo, just a singular metal logo, or no logo best?

Well I think all his stuff is very nice, but I prefer no logo. I like it better when they just have Michael Kors written out on the bag. What kind of letter, design, and logo do you prefer?

I go back and forth depending on my mood to be honest. In regards to Michael Kors' products, I have about the same amount of signature coated canvas and Saffiano logo and singular metal logo products with pebble leather. I'm not using any of my Michael Kors wallets at the moment either. If I did, it would be either the light blue or white signature wallets or one of my pebble ones in light blue, light gray or light beige. I'm such a fickle guy when it comes to my wallets. I bounce back and forth between styles frequently lol.

I hope you and everyone else is staying safe!!!

Thank you and I also hope everyone out there is staying safe!

Yes, I like it written out better as well.

Thank you! Absolutely love this and agree 100%. I have bought and loved everything from Ted Baker, DKNY, Longchamp, Michael Kors, Coach to Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Chanel. I can honestly say I love my MK's more than my Chanel, because to me it is about what makes me happy and not how classy, exclusive or expensive it - or I - come across to others.

I don't understand why MK gets so much hate. Yes, some of his bags look like bags from high end designers but nowadays brands copy each other anyway. I am quite fond of my bags and still wear them. I bought my first MK bag back in 2014 and it looks like new, still. However, they don't have any resell value. I'm trying to sell the Jet Set crossbody (brown with his logo allover) which has been worn once but I can't get rid of it, even for more than 50% less than retail.

the resale market for bags in general is down. it's a buyer's market

MK never had much resale value, a few years ago it was different but I think people have moved on a bit. His main line does a lot of nice stuff, I think it is the Michael line that is everywhere and gets faked to death that puts people off. In general, unless you have a super rare bag, limited edition, even worn once about 30% of the purchase price is realistic
