I am trying to decide on which Hamilton to purchase as my first MK Hamilton bag: Black leather or Black crinkled Leather.
I have read that the leather on the hamilton's can get really soft and almost too slouchy? Any suggestions? Preferences?
I like either bag. If u want a more structured bag the Saffiano leather is the way to go tho. I have a studded tote and it's still very structured even after carrying quite a bit. The other totes do soften up a lot and can sag.
To me there is no such thing as "too slouchy." I love the original smushy leather. (And it appears you are choosing the E/W Hamilton, which is smaller and won't slouch as much as the tall N/S style.)
I prefer the first one.. I do like the soft slouchy but I have had several hamiltons and my experience is they not only slouch but completely puddle flat after a while. Kind of a bummer to me. The Hamilton is a beauty, good luck in whatever you decide!
I like the first one! I have a hamilton in a navy saffiano leather with gold hardware and I adore it. it did soften a bit but is still very structured! it will hold up the -rectangular?- shape as long as there is stuff in it? the top slouches over a bit but not much! I used mine everyday for months and it still looked new and in shape.
