I was in a MK store recently and found out that this bag is coming out in a burgundy color in the fall. Has anyone else heard that? If so, I think it'll be my b'day present to myself.

Yes, it's in (some) stores now - I posted my own pics about 10 days ago? I didn't buy one - the pics are from the boutique. Hardware I saw is silver. Here's one pic sbs with dark chocolate version.

Is this the large? Didn't think their was a size bigger than large

MK has also come out with a "med" size which is about an inch smaller and then there's the cross body of course. The "large" Hamilton Traveler is a medium sized bag but a "good" useful size. It's a bit smaller than I'm used to carrying but I know it would be fine. I've gotten used to carrying big handbags to XL, kwim?
 
Ladies, if you like this bag and are looking for something bigger than large, take a look at the large Miranda tote. It is also calfskin leather (with a gorgeous suede interior) and has wings, but isn't as structured as the Hamilton Traveler. It has a 7 inch depth, so is humongous. No lock detail, but it has a flap closure with strap ties that have metal tips (i.e., a bit of hardware). I'll be using my Miranda tote as my XL summer travel bag (flight carry-on & beach bag).
 
I received my Black Hamilton Traveller today from Amazon. It's a beautiful bag with a lovely minimal design. It's not big though. In terms of handbags, I'd call it a size "medium". My normal Hamilton tote is bigger.

The leather is soft though so more care needs to be taken than when using a saffiano bag. All in all, I'm very happy with the new bag. Can't wait to take it to work tomorrow.
 
I think I'm going to be in trouble this fall with all the new colors and styles that I'm starting to see. Check this one out.

Yea - this one is classic. It caught my eye too! I brought in my RM winter grey mam to make the comparison the next day - sigh, different bag but very similar colourwise, hardware wise and leather wise. I do want it though.

I need to see that grey one in person. I'd like to see how it compares to pearl grey saffiano (and heather grey if that is possible, but haven't seen that one yet either).
