Michael Kors THE COFFEE CLUTCH - The MK Chat Thread!!

[HesitantShopper]

Ahhhhh just bought my first MK bag. I got the Selma studded small messenger, in what I think is brown, but I could be wrong on the colour as its hard to tell from pics, sometimes it looks burgundy, other times brown, I love it either way. Should be arriving this week hopefully.

Oh the excitement

Super cute! great neutral coloring!

Thank you all, I thought I would just post pictures in this thread seeing as this is where the discussion is- I want to post a mod shot so I will do that in the other thread!!

I know this bag is considerably cheaper in the UK but we decided to make the purchase on our holiday as a special memory of the holiday that hopefully ends a long tough year- plus for me to buy LV in person would require flights for us both to the mainland, so the savings are lost anyway (buying online was not really an option- the special meaning wound have been lost). The champagne and experience of buying it in the LV store on 5th Avenue was definitely worth it!

So I chose the Pallas BB crossbody in Cerise and I love it. It was a special treat and I can't wait to wear it! (Although I did chose to use my Pearl Grey cindy today!)

Thank you! I am so used to having a choice of colours/ styles to go with my outfit that I think it will take time to get used to using this! My husband took me in to treat me to a wallet but then I saw this and he thought it looked perfect on me! So we agreed on this but then when I was later looking at small wallets in MK/ Coach etc he asked 'are you trying to find one to match your new bag?'- he said only a LV wallet would match! So it looks like I will get a wallet too ( I don't mind ordering that as I know which one I want from the store). Sometimes my husband liking bags and wallets to match is a good thing- as I don't really mind if they match, I often like contrast!

Well there you go, matching wallet on it's way Can't wait to see the pairing!

 

[MKbaglover]

Well you don't want to argue with the hubby lol. Can't wait to see a pic of the wallet! [emoji3]

No argument from me on this one!

Well...if he insists you have a matching wallet, who's to argue!! I think it's wonderful that he wants you to have a wallet, too. I think the nice thing about this bag is that you can carry it year round. I really like the styling of this one with it's pop of color!! Can't wait to see your wallet when you get it!

It was the pop of colour that sealed the deal for me!

Oh wow, if my husband said "go ahead and get a matching wallet" - I'd be like "who are you??" He hates my purse obsession LOL!

I' am lucky, I think he quite likes my obsession as it makes for easy present choices! (Although he prefers my MK addiction- a bit easier in the wallet!)

Well there you go, matching wallet on it's way Can't wait to see the pairing!

Thanks-it is ordered! I went for the Josephine with the Rose Ballerine colour (no red to match and I thought the pink would tone in (plus the outside doesn't really have the colour). I will post a pic when it arrives.

It was great, thank you. We had great weather and just took it easy, sitting in parks, shopping and soaking up the atmosphere. I definitely came back recharged but the jet lag is taking a bit of time to shake off this time! I made a few purchases, no MK but I did get a bag- I will post pics in the other bag thread soon . I love it!

Sorry for the late reply, been a hectic week at work and trying to keep the house nice for the prospect of viewers.

Sounds like NYC was just what you needed, really glad to hear you had a great time. Did you get to Patsy's for Italian food? Do post pictures of what you brought. Have you got your RM bag yet? Jet lag is a pain, hope you're over it soon.

Just caught up with the rest of the thread! This is absolutely gorgeous! What a momento from your holiday. I agree the experience of buying on 5th Avenue makes it extra special! Also can't believe you might move to NY, that is so exciting!

Thank you!! I didn't get to Patsy's, I ended up eating in Eatily near our hotel- one Italian is all I got as my husband hates cheese and gets embarrassed ordering in Italian restaurants and having to make sure there is no cheese (I love cheese tho!). The RM bag arrived the day before I left for NY, if I knew I was going to get an LV bag I wouldn't have bought it!! It is a lovely bag but I don't think I will use it as much now I have got my LV and my husband doesn't like the colour. I am tempted to sell it, I just can't decide, I hate having a bag sitting around unloved! The move to NY always seems exiting when you are there, now I home I am happy to stay here!

I don't envy you having to keep your house perfect for viewings, I would be stressed because I would have to have it all perfect! It is worth it though when an offer comes in that you are happy with. Have you found anywhere else you like?

 

[Oooh...Shoes]

Congratulations. The color looks to be Luggage.

Thank you so much

A beautiful first bag choice. Enjoy!

I love it, its the perfect size, colour, style etc and I just love the studs, they really add to it

Super cute! great neutral coloring!

Thanks, I love neutral coloured bags, I always go for browns/beige/cream/grey/black, rarely bright colour as I find I get so much more use from the neutrals.

Bag will be here tomorrow all going well I cannot wait

Lol I love cheese too. The food in NY is just fab, so much variety. Mozzarella sticks are my absolute favourite... Nom!

That's a shame about the RM. Its a lovely colour and style. Very different from your LV. But IKWYM, if you don't love it best to get your money back and keep your wardrobe space

Moving is proving to be stressful and disappointing tbh. We found the most perfect new house a couple of weeks ago which we were just about to reserve. But another couple reserved it from under us while we were doing a site visit! Been so disappointed about that as it had absolutely everything we wanted. 4 double bedrooms, study, double width drive, south facing garden... Its hard to imagine we'll find somewhere else as perfect.

Been on the market for a month now and only had 2 viewings booked, both of whom cancelled last min! Nothing is selling, I blame this bloomin' referendum! Safe to say I'm voting remain

NYC will be such an exciting opportunity for you and DH and also a big change. Is it definitely happening? Id also be apprehensive, but try to look on it as life is short and its an adventure for you both. Exciting times ahead. x

My Selma arrived today and looks to be a tan colour. Its beautiful. I love it

There's not a mark on it, not one, its practically in brand new condition.

Your user name is brilliant!

Sounds like we need some pics in the Selma thread

Hi everyone! I'm back after having a break from MK, and I totally fell in love yesterday. My high end store has got sooo many gorgeous bags in blossom and blush! Including Selma, Cynthia, Jet set and several more... Can I justify having more pink bags when I have the Fuchia Jet set and the medium pale pink studded selma?

That is such a shame about your house, it just means a better one is around the corner! Our house is a new build corner plot with wrap around garden that is East, SE and South facing. It is the one thing I would always want in a house now. Even in Jan/ Feb it can be warm enough to sit in the sun (not in a t shirt though!) as the garden is a sun trap. So don't be tempted to go for any other type of garden, we get so little sun it is important to be able to enjoy it. I am sorry your viewings were cancelled, it really is annoying. I do think this EU vote is putting things on hold. I just we knew more of the facts rather than all the stupid arguing and scaremongering!

The NYC move has been talked about on and off for a while but it is starting to look more likely as time moves on. His boss hasn't mentioned it since we have been back, so maybe it will fizzle out. I hope you have more luck with the house hunting!

I think you could definitely justify more pink bags, especially if they are a different style. I have a blossom bag from last year and I love the colour. I think it is different from Pale Pink but I can't remember. Blush is definitely different to the two pinks you have!

Welcome back! If it's a different shade of pink I say go for it. That'll give you some variety.
