Michael Kors Riley

[ubo22]

Yes, they are great as workday bags. If I still worked, I would definitely have a couple n/s Hamiltons because I still think they are gorgeous....[emoji3]

How's it going with your cinder Hamilton? I still am kicking myself for missing out on that color in saffiano leather.

I returned it. There was a flaw in the color on the front that I didn't notice at first. It was a lighter line running right across the bottom front. It was for the best. I was still on the fence about it....[emoji4]

No regrets. I only bought it because I wanted something in dark dune before it was discontinued again. I'm loving my Riley and haven't switched out since I got it. Have you cut the tags yet? [emoji3]

I haven't! I wasn't a fan of all the pebbling so I exchanged it for the original one I had with the scratch and ordered a new one to compare. The scratch isn't super noticeable but it bothers me, so I figured I'd try one more time just to see. I preferred the pebbly leather on my black one but not as much on the lighter dark dune. I'm also thinking of selling my large Pearl grey Selma and getting a medium or a medium Sutton in Pearl grey. I love the looks of my large but it's hasn't been getting a lot of love lately.

Oh, okay. I loved how it looked in your pictures.

I'm also not a fan of pebbled leather. I really like smooth leathers. I had the same problem when I originally bought my colorblock Miranda. I had to do an exchange before I got one that was a smooth leather. The first one was more pebbly.

Pearl grey is a beautiful color. If you sell your large Selma, you should definitely get something else in that color.

Yeah it's so funny how pebbled leather is more appealing on certain bags and colors! I know my SA thinks I'm crazy, but I've been so excited for the DD Riley that I want to be completely happy.

Honestly the think Pearl grey is my favorite MK color lol!!! I will definitely keep it that color in my collection!

I need a pearl grey in my collection... my collection is sorely lacking in the greys department and I have no idea why! I've always thought greys looked more "dirty" but pearl grey is gorgeous. If I were to get a pearl grey down the line I was thinking a hamilton with all the silver hardware would be nice, or a studded medium selma. But for now I must be good since I just added dark dune back into my collection... so excited about that!

You definitely need a Pearl grey in your collection! It's such a gorgeous, sophisticated color!! I love DD too, but each color definitely serves different needs. What did you get in dark dune???

Can you see it? It's more obvious irl. I thought I could ignore it but it started to bother me...[emoji20]

Good call returning this, it would have bothered me too. The color is stunning though!!

Thanks, I'm not normally picky but I thought if I waited too long, I would have to sell it at a loss because of the defect....[emoji6]

In my opinion, every girl needs a grey, brown/taupe, and black bag in their collection. Now that I have my large heather grey Selma, I think my color collection is complete.

Yes, I see it. Good call on returning it, but I do love the color still, especially with silver hardware.

I completely agree! I've definitely seen my taste in styles and colors evolving as I've gotten older. I was on a color kick for a while, and while I still love it I'm more drawn towards neutral bags. Although, I'll never get rid of my sapphire jet set because it's pretty much my most complimented and most used bag. I'm also realizing that while I probably SHOULD have more shoulder bags I just don't love them lol!! I'm kicking myself for getting rid of my black and silver Riley. I got a coach hobo instead and it just doesn't make me get excited when I pull it out to wear it.

The neutrals are a necessity. Then you can fill in your collection with your favorite colors. For me those are green (malachite) and blue (sapphire).

I do love my structured Selma satchels, my n/s Hamilton totes, and my Sutton. I use my soft leather Mirandas mostly on the weekends and in the spring/summer months. It's really during the spring/summer that I switch over to my soft leather and shoulder bags.

 

[Bootlover07]

Haha I was over the saffiano too and got rid of all of mine. I switched to soft leather and now all of my bags are soft but I just added the Vanilla signature Cynthia which is PVC, and then I am waiting on a dark dune Ava! I got rid of my DD Selma since I was over Selma but I need a smaller cross body. Ava in DD on sale was perfect! I think I'm set for now. I have 4 MKs, 2 RMs, 2 high end designer bags that I've had for years and that's it. My closet is too packed for more stuff [emoji23]

Do you still have your Selma messenger? My large seems so bulky, but I still adore my messenger!!
