. . . for my mom for Mother's Day?? i want to get her a clutch/small(ish) bag for when she goes out - but if it's a small BAG, not TOO small. i don't want her looking um, weird with a tiny bag. (so if anyone owns any of the bags i show, please let me know if they're tiny!)

I REALLY love the Red Quilted Hamilton flap. I think its gorgeous. I just purchased the small MK Gromet Cross body . I have to say its a sweet bag. The leather is so soft. I dunno if she would like that or not. You can't go wrong with MK. :)
 
I haven't posted because I can't decide!!!!!!!!!!! TOO MANY CHOICES!! YIKES!!
I love the Hamilton, but will she get enough use out of red? Can you find it in gunmetal - that is such a gorgeous neutral that could be worn with anything. So I guess the only thing holding me back fromt the Hamilton is the fear that maybe your mom won't get enough use out of it??

So taking that out of the picture, I love # 4 and # 6, but I have no idea about the size as I've not seen them IRL.

Good luck with the decision, that is really a tough one - have your reached any conclusions yet??
 
Ok for going out I would like #2 Berkley or #5 Colette because they are neutral BUT if you could find the Hamilton flap in gunmetal it would be cool too--I love the chain detail.

Good luck!!! Your mom is lucky to have such a thoughtful daughter!
 
I'd go with either:

#1 - I've seen this IRL, and it's stunning! I really like the red, too... would the color be versatile enough for your mother?

or

#2 - I just looooove the style of the Berkley clutch!
 
I have the hamilton flap in black and I LOVE this bag. It's perfect for a night out but not so small that you can't use it everyday. It holds a lot more than I thought it would. I was able to put all my essentials plus some extras in with room to spare. Plus I love that the chain can be worn longer over the shoulder or doubled up for a shorter length.
 
I vote for the hamilton flap. I think it's a great in between size.
I have it in black patent leather. I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet, but I bought it because sometimes I need a smaller bag (usually carry the N/S Hamilton) for those occassions when it's not pratical to carry a large bag, but you still need to carry several things.
 
:D thanks sooo much everyone!!! tPF MK ladies are super!

my mom loooves red - so currently i'm bidding on the Hamilton Flap. if i get unlucky with that, then i will get the Knoxville Clutch.

personally, i wish i had some $$ to spend so i can buy one of these for myself!!! i'll let you know what i decide :)
 
i love the red hamilton flap as well! it looks so chic! my next major MK lemming is for a red leather bag!

ps, ive seen # 2 and #3 at my TJs, its worth a look if you have one in your area!

i've seen #2 at my TJs, but never #3! is it nice IRL? while i like #2 myself, i actually don't think my mom would
 
really? my TJs has at least 5 of them i think! well, this was a few weeks back when i went though. and they have a pebbled leather gold version as well. i think its very pretty, and quite spacious as well! but i wasnt a fan of the fact that it was a hand carry vs having a shoulder strap.
