I popped into a TJMaxx this evening, and what did I see, one, perfect Michael Kors "Skorpios" zip top satchel, I could not believe it. I had just been looking at this on the Neiman Marcus & MK websites with a price of $995, although the MK tag shows $895. the Maxx price $199 (cha-ching):woohoo:(that is an 80% discount)
I have always wanted this bag, but had yet to see it in-person, I'll consider this an early birthday gift to myself, I'm an early November girl, which makes me a Scorpio! This is my new favorite bag. The leather is so beautiful, the entire bag is just beautiful. I can't wait to take her out for a spin!

SUPER... SUPER.. PRICE!!! What a wonderful classic bag! Enjoy!
 
I have been to tjmaxx everyday for weeks trying to find a Hamilton bag! I reaaaaally want one and have has no luck whatsoever :nogood:

I am tempted to try ebay but I don't want a fake.....
I could go to the outlet but then the bag would be small and not have a lock!!

An outlet Hamilton would have a nameplate instead of a lock, but it would not be small. It's size is between the lock satchel and the tote. It has three interior compartments, one zippered in the middle, and the leather is soft and gorgeous. I have and love both versions of the Hamilton and would suggest that you take a look at the outlet version if you can. I find the size and middle zip great for travelling!

I probably will when I get a weekend trip. I would like th extra compartment and if its not smaller that would be great!
 
I just purchase from Macy's during friends and family for 25% off... I've gotten lucky because on all my accessories I got an extra 10% on top of the original 25%!!! They even gave me an extra 25% two days ago on my Selma!!!

Too bad I missed that sale! Isn't another department store going to have another annual sale this summer?
 
I know for Hamiltons the difference is lock vs plate, but is there a general way to tell if a MK bag I see at a TJMax or similar store is an outlet version of a design?


You can tell by the lining. The lining design of a retail MK has the MK logo inside a circle. The lining of an outlet bag has "Michael Kors" printed on it and no circle design. Even at TJ's or Marshall's, you're also likely to find a dust bag inside the retail versions. Hope this helps!
