I suspect that this thread originated in the "handbag & purses" forum but because of the title it was moved here. The OP and the first few posters don't really visit this forum......
I read more than I post. Though I prefer seeing bags more than reading or writing about them.
You're probably right. However, there are some members who only come to the MK forum to post about how crappy his merchandise is & how he's the only designer who copies other designers. They don't buy any of his products but they love to come here & complain about them. SMH
I have 2 Susannahs in lambskin. The lambskin from the outlet feels stiff and hard; the lambskin on the Susannahs is soft and buttery.
An article from the NYP published today suggests that if Nordstrom and MK continue their relationship, we are likely to see more exclusive products sold at Nordstrom to allow the department store to avoid price-cut competition with Macy's.
This might be a good the brand. I am keeping an eye on this story!

Isn't that the way it should be? exclusives through department stores. Restructuring sounds more practical vs we are taking our ball and going home, MK hasn't gone out of business and seems the complaints as many of us have previously stated apply to many brands, i think the handbag market in general seems a bit unstable, many are struggling to maintain and find a place in a world where people generally tire of things quickly and are opting spend monies on other things.

When I purchased a canvas flat wristlet with the 2 zippers at the outlet I had to return it because of a faulty zipper. I replaced it will a black leather one but the stitching was coming out inside so I went back a 3rd time and the girl opened 5 to find one that didn't have some problem. The price had gone down so she gave me $25 on a gift card. I'm very reluctant to get anything more than a make up bag. I just don't trust the quality. I do really like the styles though. I've bought many MK clothing items at Macy's and they're all pretty decent.
That's frustrating but it happens with loads of brands, some items just aren't that great, while others are.
All i can say is the MK i do own, i have had no issues with and i used them quite a bit & often before my nerves went wonky and i can no longer carry the styles.
LOL, yep definitely see similarities, both seem like nice bags with slight differences all about what one prefers and can(or chooses too) pay.
Very few real "original" designs exist, dabbles of this and that spread throughout the brands(contemporary & premier)
It can be frustrating but this happens at one time or another in all the brands. Some designs are better than others. There have been quality issues with some Coach, Prada, LV, Marc Jacobs, Gucci & others but I don't go to those forums & post about how crappy the brand is like some who seem to enjoy coming on here to complain. I don't understand it since these people don't buy or carry MK in the first place.
What I can say is that I have not had any issues with any of my MK purses or clothes. I have many of his MMK line & a few of his higher end Collection Line. For the most part, I carry my MMK bags for everyday. I don't worry about babying them either. Since I have several, I will carry one for about a week & change into another bag for the next week, unless I'm wearing a certain outfit that I need to coordinate a style or color. When not in use, the bags are stuffed, in their dust bags, & placed on a shelf with the handles up.
I haven't had any problems with the clothes I own either. I have found them to be well made & quite comfortable to wear.
I have a couple of Prada & a couple of Fendi bags....haven't had a problem with them either.
Sometimes, a bag just doesn't work out; it happens. But if your experience has made you leery, that's understandable. Buy what you love & are comfortable with.
I was one of the first few posters and as someone said, this thread was not in the MK forum when I posted. Personally, I wouldn't visit a brand forum and then trash the line so please know that was NOT what I did.
As for my opinion his stuff is "crap"; in my opinion it is. The few items I have purchased or were gifted did not wear well. I don't care if it's costs $10 or $1000; if it doesn't hold up to how I use something, it's a waste of my money and junk. Again, MY opinion, nothing else.
To those who love the brand, great and rock it with pride! That's all that matters in the end : )
