I just recently was at Macy's and really loved the functionality of the Riley. I like the size and particularly liked the center zipper compartment that was lower so that you could still easily see what was in the other 2 sides of the bag, if that makes sense!

Does anyone know if Michael Kors makes any of his other satchels with this interior? Although I love the Riley, I think I would like just a little more detailing on the outside of the bag. I liked the look of the Bedford but I'm tired of always digging in my purse for my stuff and feel like the lower center divider would help!

If not, I will get the Riley. I usually dress very casually, jeans, tshirts, sweaters and just feel like the Riley might be a little too sophisticated for my style!

Thanks,
Dana

The Michael Kors Tristan bag, is a good alternative to the Riley. I have one of each. The Tristan is very similar but is more decorative with buckles, O rings and chains on the straps. It is an awesome bag. However, it does not have the center divider pocket, but it does have a great outer pocket on the back for quick access.

The bag I know that has a center divider pocket is the outlet Hamilton , that doesn't have the lock on it. The first pic is the Tristan, and the second pic is the Hamilton that has a center divider pocket. They can both be found in the outlets in many colors, or on ebay,

Thank you so much! I do like the Tristan. Is it the same size as the large or the medium Riley? I'm surprised not more of his bags have that shorter center divider. For those of you that have the Riley, do you like that feature more than just having one large compartment?

It's funny because I keep forgetting the center compartment is there and I just started using it yesterday when I have had the bag since spring! lol!

The Tristan only comes in a large size and is the same size as the large Riley. I prefer it over my Riley because of the longer strap placement is on the sides, and not in the center like on the Riley. Also, the strap on the Tristan is much wider and thicker The Riley is great, but I don't like the longer strap at all!

I also like that centre divider compartment feature. It really helps me organising things.

Some of the other bags that I know have the same feature are Dillon and also the East West Jet Set Travel tote.

The Ludlow Also has a center divider compartment. MK has several that have the center divider compartment. You just have to go in there and look in them all! lol!
