Hi all, I am new to this club. I am sorry to hear about MK brand declining. I have different styles of MK bags, bought from department stores. I haven't had any problem about the craftman ship and the quality of the product. They are all very well made.
Although, I don't like the MK outlet bags, they look low in quality.
+1! Well said Minkette. Property over purses.I thought the intended purpose of this thread was Nordstrom is limiting or scrapping it's MK collection. Somewhere this discussion took a turn and began bringing up someone's opinion about the brand.
I have Chanel, Louis just to name a few and MK. Do I like all of MK's stuff, no. Do I everything any brand does, no. Does it make it cheap or low quality, no just not my personal taste.
However, the pieces I do own are nice and have held up very well. I own MK bags, very comfortable shoes, beautiful jewelry and perfume. I think it's a solid brand and it has its appeal.
If you read up on the history of Mr. MK he is not some run of the mill designer.
Ladies and gents can like what they want. High end, mid to low end. It's all how you wear it. I've seen Louis and Gucci look cheap by the way the person put it together.
I'm all for designer bags, but take care of your health and teeth first. Or have some outfits to compliment that bag. Nothing worse than a woman in a designer bag, but her hair and outfit looks like crap. Might as well got that MK bag so you can have some money left over to purchase what's really important.

Well said. I totally agree.
Yes, the thread began with an article about Nordstrom's limiting the amount of MK the store carries due to competition with price matching Macy's. In this economy, everyone is trying to protect it's profit margins. The link & follow up links were informative & really nothing to get all bent about. This happened to Coach a few yrs back & Coach is still here. It's just one store's policy re-evaluation. MK has been around for quit a while & I don't think he's going anywhere. Trends come & go; designers fall in & out of favor with the public. This thread did not originate on the MK forum but was moved from another forum to this one.
But the thread seemed to immediately turn toward other's personal opinions of the brand....everything MK makes is junk, he copies all the other designers, poor quality, ect. While some felt the need to defend the brand they love, other's went on to say that his bags aren't made of real leather & even questioned whether the ladies that love & carry MK even know the difference between real leather & manufactured leather because you can tell if you've ever felt the real luxury leather of the high end premiere designer bags. While this may be a personal opinion, it amounts to brand bashing, bullying, & condescending on the forum of that particular brand & is unacceptable IMO.
Like you, I don't like everything MK puts out but I don't like everything that any other designer puts out. I like & buy what works & functions for me, regardless of whose name is on it. I don't buy bags that are going to put a pinch on my budget, price wise, either. I've never had a quality issue with any of my MK bags but that doesn't mean there are not quality issues. Every brand has quality issues at one time or another. Nor do I judge others by the handbags & accessories they carry. I do not equate self worth with handbags. I would never make derisive comments about someone else's favored brand & I cannot understand why someone would come to this forum to post their hate of the brand especially when they don't buy or carry it. SMH
I didn't consider maybe the quilted in the outlet weren't lambskin. Hmm. I just assumed they were because my quilted Susannahs (not from the outlet) are. Something to consider.
Amen! I know what leather is, lol. Wow. Have to be a real dingbat not to know the difference. If I don't know the difference, I shouldn't be buying it.

Well, if MK is selling a non- leather bag for $400 and claiming it's leather, please call a policeman for us and have this taken care of! I have felt other lambskin bags, thank you very much. I feel confident his bags are leather.
scroll back and read the thread, it was already established it's leather. just poorly sourced.
This thread has gone way off topic. It's suppose to be about Nordstroms re-evaluation of their partnership with MK & possibly downsizing the quantity of MK accessories they will carry in the future, not about whether someone dislikes the brand or does not think it's of quality workmanship, ect. Let's please keep the posts to the original topic of the thread. If not, I will request the mods lock it.
Our forum is one where we come to share our love of the MK bags & styles, share our enjoyment of them & positively encourage those who are buying the bags of their choice whether it's MK or another brand. Negativity is not welcome here. If you do not like MK or his products, that's fine; don't buy or use them. But please do not come on this forum & bash the brand & make the ladies here feel bad about what they enjoy.

Geez. I wasn't going to comment but the more I read, the more compelled I felt to add in my two cents.
1. I hope Nordstrom doesn't discontinue MK because I love the store and I love the brand. I used to be all about Coach, but I don't like how their outlet works and I love the colors and styles of MK. Does that mean I love everything MK? Nope. And I see plenty of other brands, including Coach, that I buy if I like the bag.
2. I am appalled at the snobbery I see over freaking handbags. I am perfectly aware that MK is not a luxury brand. That's why I buy it. If you can afford a 2,000 bag and choose to spend your money that way then great. I personally have been in luxury stores and felt those bags and I don't see what the big deal is. I've seen some absolutely gorgeous premium bags, but I'd much rather rock my MK I got on sale (that probably gets just as many compliments as a premium bag) while using my remaining 1800 dollars sipping margaritas at the beach.
