The gray is really nice in person too. :p[/QUOTE

Does the leather have a shine to it?

It has a slight sheen because the leather if buffed and it's not fully matte. But it's not shiny. The leather is thick, soft and supple but I think the bag will retain its shape because it's not large enough to start drooping or slouching. Maybe if you carried it with a really heavy item every day, it will start to show.

I agree - I like several colours but I am very much drawn to the grey (probably because I prefer the silver hardware). I like gold hardware when it's (subtle) matte, pale or antique.

Thanks for the description!

I went into the boutique today and they didn't have the claret out yet! Weird!!

I saw the colors in 2 stores in Vegas, but the store near me still had the green/violet colors.

Just as well, if I had seen it again I might not have been able to resist!:graucho:

If you look through this TPF thread, you will see several of my photos. The bags arrived at MK boutiques first; later I saw some at Holt Renfrew and took more photos.

Apple and Optic White are on sale already on the MK website. Even the black was on sale but now, the black is full price. If I find these on sale in the boutique, I don't know if I can resist.
 
I think I might like it better without the lock. Interesting to display the lock on the side of the handle like that. :thinkin:

I like it too - not "better" exactly but I like it. Boutique does not have optic white or apple green on sale like the website but they do have all the colours in stock. Between the boutique and Holt Renfrew, there are lots of these bags available...one can only hope for mark downs :graucho:
 
Anyone know why they would put the lock at the side like that? Only reason I cold think of was people picking it up to try it might scratch the metal but if it is hanging against the leather it wont. I think I like it better where it should be.

I think they did it just to demonstrate how it would look without the lock. It worked because I really like it both ways..... :smile1:

They have other displays of same bag with the lock in its usual spot. I think they just want to be creative and let folks know that it's a real functional padlock with key - sort of cute. I didn't know (think) that the lock scratches the vitello leather? I hope not...right now, it's not my problem anyway because I don't own one
 
Hi Ladies, I am new to the forum. I am a huuuge MK fan. I purchased two days ago the new MK hamilton traveler in orange, i love the luggage one too. Which color do you think is nicer? Orange or luggage? TIA
