I own several LV bags and planning to purchase at least 3 more. The LV totally was never on my radar until lately and therefore will not be in budget for awhile since I will be buying the 3 original bags that I wanted. I decided that a nice alternative to the LV totally would be the MK tote. I went looking at the bag today and I must say they are lovely and are at a very decent price! However, the quality is slightly better overall when it comes to LV pieces but the MK leather is more worry free since it is already treated. I agree with a previous post that a large number of MK bags look too similar to LV bags but for the price tag you can still get the look you want without spending a lot more. MK are good throw around versions of LVs so if a beater bag fits your needs better than MK hands down! LV is still a luxury IMO.

I was also into the totally aswell and had my eyes on a Azur PM, specificly for a trip i took over holidays. An to say the least. I went with the Vanilla MK version. I couldnt spend so much to use as a beater/diaper bag. If i want a LV bag its gonna be for my daily uses out n about. Not for some of the things ive put in my MK like My toddlers food/snack items and her cups (yes some even had milk n just tossed it inside. Lol but for occassions such as im glad i found a Alternative and after the long time it endured during at disney. It still looks new and very care free. I have no time to baby a bag while out n having fun with family.
I'm def more of an LV fan, simply bc of the name itself, have owned a cpl canvas (artsy & galliera) a leather cross body I was gifted, would love to 1 day get a leather, but for now def would choose MK simply bc I love big bags, n to own LV in the style I'd want would def break the bank. I enjoy it a lot more if its a good price functional and stylish, of course having a little funds left over makes it even that much better. So for now ill have to say MK wins.
For exclusivity go with LV. Otherwise, I feel the MK monogram is every bit as eye catching as the LV. I have an LV mono speedy and am eyeing the MK mono brown wallets lately.
I notice with my LV, sometimes I get judged because of the LV image however annoying that may be. With the MK, people seem more accepting, but probably depends on the area you live in.
While the LV is considered luxury level, the MKs are more organizational-oriented and functional (straps) than most of the LVs I've come across. So you have to weigh the pros and cons... and of course your budget and what you intend to use the bag for.

I was just at the mall and walked by the coach store and thought the exact same thing!! Not just you! Lol
Lol yeah, i thought this looks familiar just with "color". Although i was at macys and seen the MK grayson BJtaylor did the reveiw on and Oh My its Gorgeous! It makes me want
problly will but this weekend
So glad I can across this. I was literally gonna post the exact same question. I am going to read this through.
One thing I hate to say is that there are SO many fake canvas LV monogram purses out there. They're been at flea markets for years and really exploded years ago when the Japanese line came out if I remember correctly. Fakes were literally everywhere and I still see some. They've gotten better with some of the fakes and it's hard to tell unless u actually r inspecting it up close. Some people now just assume every LV monogram is fake...that's how bad it has gotten over the years. MK isn't as bad with fakes (yet), Coach struggles with fakes too, but since the price point is lower, it's not automatically assumed by people that it's a fake bag. All I know is if I see a MK bag out I automatically assume its authentic, but LV I assume it's fake. Sucks but thats the reality of counterfeits.
It's sad to say because i luv LV quality but true. I have an LV Speedy that I've had for many years. It's an authentic bag and wears very well. U could run it over and it prob would survive. But the reality is that no one really pays attention to it...but carry out a MK or Coach and everyone totally luvs it. That being said...ur buying the bag for u and if u luv it and don't care what others think then u won't mind. The quality is there and YOU will know its real. But on the other hand let's b honest here...a monogram bag in general IS to show off the bag. Especially a canvas one.

I have both and do love them but I love my LV more... I have an LV NF Damier that battled wind, rain and snow but overall still looks good. I got the saffiano MK equivalent to LV NF, the quality is good but not as good as LV. Also I find it with the same load, the MK ia heavier for some reason.
