^ Which ones do you have? The ones I've had and/or tried on are very light, which is a big deal for me kuz I just can't stand heavy bags--like, seriously can't stand them. I even sold my purse Holy Grails--which took me forever to find--kuz they were too heavy for my taste. Right now, there's an HH bag that I'm loving but probably won't get it kuz it weights almost 3 lbs, which ain't much, but I like them lighter than that.

I've become a Michael Kors fan this year, especially with the good sales. I'm out of my comfort zone spending much over $120 for a handbag so this was a big step for me. I have the Layton shoulder bag in Lapis and the small Beverly shoulder bag in gunmetal and python. Love the leather and the organization. It must be true that MK's are gateway purses, because now I'm reading posts in the purse forum and looking at other brands for ideas. I think Michael Kors deserves a forum too.

Oh, you got a couple of super hot bags! Lapis is probably my favorite blue used by a designer on handbags--it's so rich and regal. I love the Layton line, especially the satchel in Luggage leather. I'll probably get one when it goes on sale one of these days. I never get bored of the Beverly line kuz it always has something gorgeous to offer. I love the staggered metallic corners on the shoulder bag. Got any photos of your bags you could post?

I just got the holiday catalog in the mail, and there are sooo many great deals in it. The silver Puffer Vest makes me wish I lived in a colder climate, and if I liked the look of exotic skins, I would kill for this one bag--Braided Grommet shoulder tote in Honey Python-embossed leather. :drool:

Thank you, Karmenzsophia. I'll try to post pics. I really searched this year for a great everyday purse and have been so disappointed until I found the Michael Kors at my local Dillards. Most bags are either too big for me or too small,too few or no pockets, and I prefer a single strap with a longer drop than most out there. The SA told me about Dillards having a good handbag sale in December so I waited it out. I was able to score a 33% discount on some really nice bags that fit my needs.

Hey Purseopolis,
Can you post pics of your Austin? I've been contemplating purchasing a Bronze one on eBay, but I am not sure what the true color of the bag is. Is it really bright & almost gold, or more subdued?

After searching the forum, I realized I have a Michael Kors Astor bag in a apple green color. I do not know the official color name but it has silver color studs. I have had it for quite a while now. I just noticed the studs are now tarnished. Any idea how to clean it? I do have Tarnish X silver cleaner but I don't know if it will work on these studs. Thanks!

My black Astor has the same problem. Unfortunately it's not tarnish - the finish is worn off and polishing won't help. It's sad because the leather still has some life left in it but the stitching is pretty dirty and the silver is gone on some of the hardware. I've been shopping for a new bag for months now and can't find a bag that I like better. I may just buy another Astor...

I am so sorry to reply this late.. did not check back on this thread in a while.. I will post the pics in a little bit..but if you are contemplating getting this bag, I would think twice. The color was a really nice shiny goldish bronze(more gold than bronze) when I got her, but after using it maybe 3-4 times, the shine completely disappeared and now it is a kind of an ugly dull bronze..and it bugs me so much cos it seems to have lost the charm..I even tried to return her, but they wouldn't accept it... and secondly the bag holds a lot, which is good... but the handles are too thin for that amount of weight, so they don't stay on your shoulder and you are gonna end up with her on your arm..I carried her around on my arm loaded with stuff for a few hours and I ended up with such bad pain..this bag is so not worth it in MHO.

^ OMG, that's terrible! That shouldn't happen, and if it's something that has been happening to bags in that color/leather, they should (a) stop selling them and (b) replace bags like yours. Are you sure it's not a fake? How long have you had it? Do you think it could be something that happened to your bag specifically? I'm wondering what they told you when you tried to return it.

Based on your post--the color and the handles--I think you're talking about the Austin Drawstring Satchel, which isn't really a shoulder bag. The Austin Shoulder Bag is a bit different and has only one strap. I got the Vanilla shoulder bag when it first came out kuz I fell in love with the super soft leather and it was very light and easy to use. The strap fit me well, but like any other shoulder bag, whether or not it stays on the shoulder depends not only on the strap and the bag's design but also on the shape of the person's body, e.g., how wide or narrow the shoulders are and if the bag bounces off the waist or hip. I think that's why some work for me, and others don't. I eventually sold it kuz I had an MJ bag in the same color that I had been using and kuz I got rid of all of my shoulder bags when I realized I didn't like that style anymore.

Later, I was tempted to get the Austin Satchel in black but fell too deeply in love with the Astor Drawstring Satchel that I've mentioned a dozen times already and that I adore.

I have 4 MK bags and I'm not talking Michael/Michael Kors. I mean Michael Kors, the expensive bags. I love them all, I just got the huge black Jamesport for Christmas. YAY
Don't know why some people don't like MK, he's has been and will always be classic to me. Love and have his, bags, clothes and shoes.
