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

[CoachMaven]

Has anyone had any luck calling an outlet and having them check if a certain bag is in their store (or any store for that matter)? I've done this with Coach and Vera Bradley but just had the worst call with the Philadelphia Premium MK Outlet.

I did this very thing just yesterday. They didn't have what I was looking for, but they were happy to check. I will tell you they prefer to search with a name and a color vs. 'What do you have in ________ color?" I attempted that too, but she was vague, and pushed for me to come in and see. I ended up getting something entirely different online for a good price, and didn't have to make the trip and waste my time, lol!

I had the style number, name, and color. I was very specific. She didn't even look up the style number, just said "retail bags never are sold in the outlet"...insert eyeroll here. When I asked if she was able to check other stores inventory it was "no, sorry".

Hi friends, missed you all so much! I haven't purchased any bags since I've been using a diaper bag and a big tote bag! I miss my MKs!

Baby girl is 12 weeks old this Friday... Where has the time gone!? She's been a Velcro baby so I've had to carry her a lot, babywear, etc. she's going through a growth spurt right now and eating up a storm!

So anyway my little sis just got her license and needs a new bag. She wants the Ava! Should she get the one with cutouts or a plain one? I'm thinking she should get the small.

How is everyone doing?! Hope all is well [emoji173]️

Glad to hear you munchkin is doing well! i've had a velcro baby, such fun. Congrats to your sister! Cutouts are cute but wonder if it's to trendy?? the Ava is a great classic shape and could do her for years.

Hey girl glad you and babe are doing well. Time flies! Mine just turned 4 months eek - too fast. Growth spurts are terrible, hope it doesn't last too long lol!

I'd say plain Ava or even one of the new studded ones.

She was FULL of it! The actual boutique store told me to check with the outlet store locally because "they get the deleted bags." I cannot stand it when associates are not helpful.

I just saw the new studded ones, those are really cute. Wouldn't mind one for myself... Wish I could carry small bags these days but that hasn't been the case!

I remember you had yours before me! I miss taking out ballet Selma.. It's been too long. Have you gotten any new bags?

Thanks! I think she's leaning towards a plain one in light pink.. Blossom maybe. This will be her first MK, so exciting!

I know, all I carry is a big honkin diaper bag and a cross body or a tote, satchels are too inconvenient right now! Ballet selma is a beauty though I've gotten a few and sold a few, actually using dusty rose jet set a lot. How much sleep are you getting now? Lol, I'm still on 1 night feeding - plus Madeline likes to try crawling in the crib and is rolling all over the place... oye what a monkey!

Ok for those with young kids, what do you guys do? Do you just carry a large tote/bag with your wallet inside or do you keep a separate bag for yourself? I find that having 2 little toddlers is preventing me from carrying bag suited for my outfit/day, instead I have to carry something suited for THEM..... How do you guys manage?

There's hope for your Mks. My LO has just turned 16 months and since about 12 months I decided to ditch the baby bag as I didn't need to take huge amounts of stuff not he's weaned. So I carry my suttons with a compel of nappies, wipes, bottle of milk along with normal nag stuff and I'm good to go. If I want to use my messengers I take his stuff in his baby bag and enjoy my wallet and phone being in my bag.

May have answers that question up above for you [emoji1] I got so fed up of not carrying my pretty bags xx

Hey girl! I hope all is well! I was just wondering how you were doing.

Wow 12 wks old already? Awww I bet she's a cutie!

An Ava for your sister would be a nice gift. I like the cutous - they're a litte extra fun. If you think it's a bag she would keep for a long time maybe go with the classic style.

Wow something to look forward to! My little one isn't rolling or crawling yet, trying to enjoy her not moving yet hahah. She's pretty good at night, no consistent schedule yet but on a good night she will wake up once or twice, but the other night it was every hour or so since she seemed to be having a growth spurt. When did it get easier for yours? Do you have to rock her to sleep a lot? Callie definitely needs assistance all day.. Otherwise that baby will never sleep![emoji23]

If I'm going somewhere for awhile I carry a diaper bag and a large tote. I will usually leave the diaper bag in the car and then put some diapers and wipes and a bottle, blanket, burp cloth in my tote if I go anywhere. Then if I need extra clothes or whatever I would just go back to the car. Sometimes if it's a short trip I just take the tote and add everything in there since I don't carry much for myself. I probably could use a better tote bag (using a longchamp) but it's been convenient!

I'm down to 2 MKs.... Well three cuz I just bought a medium blush Ava for myself!!! This was the one bag I let get away. I got it for $146 total! The girl was selling it cuz her ex BF bought it for her haha.

Anyway I can't wait to use my bags again.. But haven't had to go anywhere without the stroller really, so I just put my bag in there. Also haven't figured out what to carry when I have her in the ergo carrier. I carry her in the front so it seems I would need a shoulder bag or backpack [emoji23]

Hope u are well too! I can't believe it's been that long. I remember posting the day after she was born! She's 12 lbs already too [emoji38]

Will there be a sale soon? I saw that MK is excluded from Macy's Black Friday sale. would have loved to get her the blossom small Ava. I think it's so fun for her age. She's 16!

Enjoy it while you can lol, Maddie is so high energy already - apparently I was the same way, my parents think it's hilarious.... She is 4.5 months now and her last growth spurt was around 3.5 but it was pretty bad, lots of short naps and no solid night sleep. Now she's waking once a night and sometimes not at all but it up early like 5am to start the day, ugh. I started around 3 months putting her in her crib drowsy but awake so she can put herself to sleep and she caught on quick. I can put her in her crib wide awake and as long as she has white noise playing she will fall asleep within a few minutes with minimal crying! I let Maddie hangout on a blanket on the floor a lot, she likes to move around, hates being held. Last night she woke up at 4am and didn't go back to sleep till 7am - was not a good start to the day lol. I keep reminding myself that she will only be so small for such a short time, whether I'm tired or not - try to enjoy it. I have to keep reminding myself

Oh my goodness you are so so lucky!! Even if I put Callie down when drowsy she somehow wakes up instantly. She has to have swaddles on tight in order to sleep and stay asleep but she always gets out of them or gets too hot. We have to turn up the AC. She's growing out of her miracle blanket and the regular swaddle blankets take forever but they work. She has to sleep in the rock n play otherwise she will wake up and I have to just hold her in order for her to sleep, or put her in the ergo. She absolutely hated the swing so we returned that, and she also didn't like the rockaroo or bouncer. Picky baby! I'm waiting for the day when she can put herself to sleep!
