Hello all, I am a newbie to tPF and this is my first thread! Can I ask you ladies what bag you use when travelling? Do you ever take your MKs or other designer bags with you?
I'm curious because I used my MK monogram Hamilton when my DH and I went on vacation in June. It's the outlet version, so it was perfect--my wallet and other valuables secured in the center zip and the other two compartments handy for my book and other quick grabs while on the plane. The PVC made it pretty worry free.
However, as we were walking down the street, my DH suddenly grabbed my shoulders and moved me to his opposite side. At the corner, he stopped walking and said, "Let's cross." At that point, a young man walked by us and then bolted up a nearby staircase. My DH then told me he'd noticed the guy sitting on a bench and then start following us after we walked by. His instinct was that the kid was eyeing my handbag. We crossed the street and watched and, sure enough, the guy came right back down the steps and went back to his perch.
Since the MK brown monogram looks so much like the LV, especially at a distance, maybe that's what drew attention. But I did see so many women carrying LV's during this trip. So, I'm very undecided what to do next time we travel and I'd love to hear your opinions!

One is a mini, and the other is a large. They are both from years ago, with beautiful leather handles (I'm not a huge fan of the lighter leather that is used on the more recent styles). This photo was actually taken while traveling. I am a college student, and on my long 6 hour drives home, both of my MK "children" sit strapped into my passenger seat haha
