Michael Kors Riley

[Cavaliermum]

So!! I had stated after the weekend I would probably take the plunge and order Riley..... Well I just did! I ended up getting her in the Large size in the color Peanut! I couldn't help myself after seeing she was on sale on MK.com

Me too!! After the problems I had with Macy's I was so happy when I found her on sale in the UK at the weekend. 😊😃😍

BAG TWINS!!! How much was she?? I'm so excited for you! I just conditioned mine last night and the leather became even more supple and luscious. You're going to love this bag.

May I ask how did you treat your Riley? All my bags are saffiano leather and I never did anything to treat them. I have the small Riley in peanut on its way and I'm wondering how to properly care of her. Thank you in advance.

I have apple leather care and i applied the conditioner all over it in circular motions with clean hands. I also have Lovin My Bags For Handles Only that I put on the handles of all of my soft leather bags. I do not treat saffiano, but if I get a stain on it or anything like that I apply the Apple leather cleaner. I think leather conditioner should be enough for Riley

LOL!! She was $276 so not the best of sells but still not full price! I'm excited to get her. I usually use Apple Brand conditioner on my softer leathers. What brand do you like to use Pinkalicious?

 

[TaterTots]

Just seen you said Apple Brand!!

Thank you so much. This helps a lot! I need to get the apple leather care now. It's been years that I haven't bought any soft leather bag. I can't wait to touch and smell the leather.

Oh you'll love it, after conditioning it the leather felt so much softer and luscious. I like saffiano and softer leather and pebbled leather all equally

lol CONDITIONER TWINS!!!

I was playing around with my Riley last night and I was wondering if I could get a shop to somehow add gold rings closer to the edges (but not on the edges) so that the shoulder strap could have more space in the middle. I don't want anyone to ruin the bag though. I just think it looks a bit weird with the strap being so close together on the handles. What do you all think? Where could I get this done?

Honestly, I wouldn't do this, even professionally. I just think making adjustments to bags like this defeats the purpose. If you don't like where the straps hang, I'd go with a different bag.

I don't mind it enough to get a different bag, but I was thinking it looked a bit odd coming from the handles since the bag itself is a lot bigger. But that could be just me being picky about spacing and proportions since I'm already so overly picky about everything.. you know me I change my mind and overthink things all the time. But i love the leather and style of this bag so I can't give it up. I think I will just have to wear it without the shoulder strap more often to avoid this issue lol!

+1. Your bag will also appear to be fake. This will also void the warranty. There are several reasons why I'd never do that.....[emoji6]

I agree with Ubo for several reasons, the most important one being that these bags hold their value really well and when you get tired of them and want new ones, you can sell them and easily get over half of your money back. Also, if your kids inherit your expensive bag collection, they are worthless, if they are not in thir original condition, without all of their original parts.It devalues the bag to alter it in any way. These bags are collectables!

This is why I love my Tristan bags, because it is almost identical to the Riley, but only has the longer strap where it belongs, on the sides. Here is a pic of one that I have in peanut. See where the strap attaches? I think it's too fancy for some with all the extra shiny hardware and chains, but that's what I like about it. The Riley is gorgeous but much more plain than the Tristan, but they are basically the same bag. Plus on the Tristan, the handles are long enough to wear on the shoulder as well, where the Riley's are hand carry only.
