My new indigo and the medium e/w slate croc arrived today!

I love the indigo color. It is a great blue. Not navy, but not too light either.

Inside & then outside light.

Large vs medium slate croc

Now, the big question is, which Slate Hamilton looks better on me? Medium or large?
I am extra sloppy today, but a normal day is dark jeans with either
a tshirt or a cute top if we are going out.

I assume you are only keeping one, and you can totally pull off the large. I think that one looks a bit more funky and stylish whereas the medium looks more classy. My preference is the large though - it really looks fantastic.

Gorgeous bags!! Are you loving the claret color as well? I can't wait to see that one IRL myself.

I got the MK catalogue in the mail yesterday and they had pics of the distressed and it didn't look nearly as nice as it does online - I hope I still like it when I see it.

Thanks ladies!

I like them both for different reasons. :rolleyes: Sometimes I think the small looks too small on me and the large looks too large. I don't need the large size on a daily basis and I do have larger bags fro when I do. So I may keep the medium one. I don't know. I love the shape of the N/S, but I can't decide which looks better on my 5'7 and not really that thin body.:shrugs:

Yes I'm keeping one of the slate. I am keeping the indigo as well. I'm surprised you are saying the large since you typically like the medium bags. ;)

I haven't seen the claret bag irl yet. I did see a wallet and it seemed a little too brownish red, but maybe the bags are more red? I bought the slate medium off of MK's website in case my store doesn't get it. They weren't sure when I was there last weekend.

I can't believe you said you aren't that thin. You are the perfect size!! I know, for me to say the large looks good must mean it really does!!!! Or am I finally starter to like bigger bags? But if you don't carry enough stuff around to fill it on a daily basis, it's not really worth it. And they are both gorgeous so you really can't go wrong.

Let us know what you decide!!!

My friend always says she loves big bags because they make you look smaller in comparision. :D

I am terrible at deciding. I need a fashion expert to follow me around and tell me what I should buy/wear. :p

Interesting point. I hadn't thought of it that way. I was thinking almost the opposite. Not that the large looked more classy, just that it might go better with a suit going to work like a work tote. I go to work in jeans, so I wasn't sure that would go. But maybe you are right, the smaller might not go with jeans as much. Neither would go with me to say a wedding, so I don't have to worry about being dressy at all with the bag I choose.

I decided to carry my indigo this week to see how I felt about the large. I knew I wanted to keep the indigo for a work bag anyway. I know the leather will break in more than the croc, but I figured it would give me an idea. I also carried my medium black over the weekend. The medium started to feel small to me. It was good for running out to dinner, but it can only fit so much.

I think I may stick with the large croc. I am loving my indigo, even though the color hasn't seemed to get much attention. It's a better neutral than I thought it would be. Here it is sitting in a chair in my office.
