Yeah Im not sure why this guy took this job, he sounds like its painful and irritating to talk to me. I am also an E/W kinda bag girl but I love that lock on the hamilton. Even looking past the defect Im questioning how well it would hold up, the edging on the whole bag was pretty sloppy and the stitching on the key cover had a big string hanging off of it. The TB bag is in the saffiano (uh something that looks like that lol!!) leather which is "scratch proof" because its very finely textured. The bag is also more structured because I know the hamilton will get slouchy. I use to hate the color orange when I was younger, but for some reason I think a tangerine leather bag is fantastic now, All of my other bags are tan and brown. Thanks for all your help btw
After seeing what you said about the finishing work on the MK bag, the TB one really might be your best bet. Though I'm with you; I love that lock on the Hamilton...it really makes the bag. The more scratch-proof leather on the TB does sound like it would be more durable though, and you'd probably like it better down the road since it won't slouch as much as the Hamilton. I haven't seen a well-broken-in Hamilton, so I haven't gotten to see the slouchiness it gets...I'm trying to imagine what that would look like lol. I didn't use to be a big fan of orange either, but I've changed my mind over the last few years. Can't wait to see what you end up getting!
