Well, not all lv is canvas, and the quality is much much better IMO but its two completely different leagues your considering. MK is nice but you obv like leather so why not go for a leather lv or Chanel. And lv isn't mass produced, maybe not completely handmade, but not mass produced. You will feel the quality difference with it on your arm and that's why you pay the extra to get something from a premiere designer. (: whatever you decide enjoy!!!!
I love both actually....
I have the Hamilton Black large luggage and there are white spots peeking out from the seems and the leather has already scratched pretty bad in one area (i think i rubbed it against a sharp part of my desk). I was thinking about it yesterday that i spent almost $400 on this bag...The handles has stretched out a lot for me (since I stuff clothes and my Ipad in there at times and a small makeup bag). It doesn't hold up its shape.
I don't have any other MK bags....so I'm not sure what to tell you. I have plenty of LV bags (Canvas) and the leather is really durable and thick! No pre-treatment either. I'd say that if you are going to spend $400 or more for a bag, may as well get an LV for a few hundred bucks more...
I'm not opposed to MK bags either..the leather is smooshy and soft and I still like my Hamilton...it just depends what you are looking for. Both are good choices but at the end of the day, it's whatever you prefer. GL!

Bumping this thread...I'am a die hard LV lover and have several of their bags. So far, I have had no problems with their quality and I've been using LV for about 20 years now. Yes, the newer bags in the last 10 years or so seem to have had some quality problems, but I haven't experienced any personally. I take very good care of my bags though and never set them on floors, touch them with dirty hands, etc. I have canvas and leather LV and I prefer the canvas...much lighter and more durable. I also have had MK bags for about 5 years now and love them also. I only have bags from the Astor line, but I have never had any problems with them either. The leather seems to be of good quality, the stitching is durable, the hardware is solid. I love LV for the classic, timeless look they portray and I love MK for the funkier, edgy look and color options. I wouldn't give up either brand, but to compare is impossible. LV is a high end luxury status brand and MK more contemporary...its like comparing a Lexus to a KIA...both are great, well made cars, but one just conveys a richer lifestyle than the other!

Well Said! I just made my first MK purches the patent bordeaux zip wallet an its Amazing! I love the plate in te front an holds well like my LV ZCP
of course the MK holds more. If i compared to Vernis Zippy id say MK is alil longer (not by much) but no real difference an Im still Satisfied with the Quality. I also hope to Make a Future MK purches later down the road for variety as i just got into handbags not that long.I am not a big fan of Michael Kors handbags, although I do like some of their more trendy pieces, and agree they are well made. Maybe, I would purchase a colourful leather piece, or statement piece from MK that I knew I would likely give away down the road (as opposed to spending large amounts of $$$ on an LV or Gucci to the same effect), however I usually purchase Coach if I am looking for a trendy piece. With regard to Mk purses, when I look at them, all I see are Louis Vuitton "inspired" pieces. While all designers are inspired by one another, it is quite apparent that MK's intention with quite a number of their pieces was to create a "more affordable version of a Louis Vuitton". In fact, LVMH used to own a large stake in MK, which it sold to focus on its more premier brands. Michael Kors designs for LVMH's Celine line still. His original designs sell for a premium (ie Celine); however, it is all too apparent to me that his namesake line is just a more affordable alternative for people wanting an LV (or other premier designer) handbag. It is for this reason that I don't greatly care for the Michael Kors handbag line. For the most part, I feel it is uninspired. I love fashion, and I believe Michael Kors is a talented designer. However, when I purchase a handbag, I am looking for something well-made, but also original--something Michael Kors' handbag line is not!
If you can afford the LV, purchase the LV as it is far superior. However, if you cannot afford it, then purchase the MK purse, as it is a well-made bag that will give you the "look" you are going for at an affordable price.

I would rather have a leather MK than a canvas LV. I like the leather LVs but I can't justify the price tag, knowing that I would never be happy to have just one bag. With MK, I get a bag I love, I don't have to worry about something happening to it, and I can afford as many as I want. On top of that, MK bags have a lot more inside pockets.
For the price of a canvas LV, I can get a spectacular leather bag in a less pricey brand.

I agree, I think MK has some nice wallets.
MK, for the price point, you can't go wrong. True workhorse bags, and you don't have to baby the leather like the LV mono w/vachetta.
Some of my fave's are
I have it in brown. It's a Macy's exclusive. I've used this bag so much and it looks brand spanking new!
I also love this tote
Great knock-around bag. "Throw my kids stuff in and go" bag. Great for shopping trips too.
We get a lot of rain and snow here so, sadly, my mono LV's don't get out as much as I like. I do keep a plastic bag in the inside zip pocket for emergencies though.
Let us know what you decide
I bought a MK Large Pouchette in the brown Jet Set pattern for church, parties and other events where I only need to carry a small amount of stuff - as an alternative to an LV Eva or Pochette since I couldn't bring myself to pay that much for such a small bag. I have an LV Speedy (damier) and I think the quality of the MK Jet Set is every bit as good - plus I like the lining of the MK better.
You also have to think that an LV bag is more of a target than MK. I would feel more vulnerable carrying something like that than I would a Michael Kors; especially while traveling! Just my opinion.
I have both. I really like LV but I too can't afford to pay such a large price tag for their items. I rather have 1 of everything by different brands.
