I thought the same thing about getting the brown but there was only 1 vanilla left at Macy's so I took the chance and so happy I did! It's very easy to clean and I just love it for this time of year. It's been on my shoulder for weeks now since I got it. I say go for the vanilla!

YOur welcome! Just had to tell you that I spilled coffee on it this morning running out of the house and didn't notice it until it had dried on. Took a wet paper towel and some mild soap and off it came! No stain! HTH

Hey ladies!

I've always loved both MK's and LV's totes so now the battle comes head to head. :boxing: I'm trying to decide between the MK Jet set tote and the totally MM. Price difference aside (which MK DEFINITELY has the advantage) I was wondering if anyone has both totes and if so, what are you thoughts? Shoot, even if you just have one of the totes what are your thoughts?

I do like that MK's tote has pockets to fit smartphones and tables whereas we all know LV need to catch up to the times in terms of the phone pocket. MK also has feet too! But it also only has a zipper section whereas LV's zips completely.


MK also has an option for those that like the Neverfull too

I have the Totally PM and the MK Jet Set in the Camo (I think it's the medium sized one?).

The MK Pros :
Holds a lot without getting mishapen.
It has a lot more pockets and such for organization.
Price.
Zipper kind of folds in if you like a wide open bag.
Exterior pockets hold more.

The MK Cons :
Straps aren't too comfortable and don't break in a whole lot (still don't hurt though).

The LV Pros :
It's LV.
The straps are comfortable and break in better.
Straps are longer.

The LV Cons :
Price.
Exterior pockets are there but don't really expand to fit much.
The bag gets mishapen if you put a lot in there.
It holds less than it looks like it should.
This should be called the Alwaysfull.

It depends on what your specific needs/wants are, but that's the skinny on the two IMO!

Ok, now y'all are making me want one in vanilla!

Thank you for your thoughts! I never realized that the totally can get mishapen.

Just to clarify, I don't mean it will mess the bag up - it bounces back just fine. I just mean that if it's on the full size, it looks like a snake that just swallowed a pig or something.

I'm trying out the jet set tote with the zip top in vanilla. I just won one on eBay and am looking forward to receiving it. This time I'll give it more time for the handles to soften. :) I just can't stay away from the vanilla color!

Macy's also have the tote (both colors) in stock. They always have some 20% coupon code going so I'd do a quick internet search too. lol

I think I am going to buy this one instead.

I bought that one and returned it. It was much smaller than I thought. If MK had just made it bigger! Otherwise, a dead on ringer for the LV Totally MM. I am hoping he decides to make it in a larger size.

That is the one I found on ebay, the seller has 6 of them available (for $248) and has 100% feedback. A co-worker has this in Vanilla and I thought it was a nice large size. It certainly would fit everything I tote around. I am thinking of getting this in brown.
