Michael Kors “Shoulder Tote”

I like them simple and I like them white… Yes, you got it right! I Loooove this bag. Look at the shape, the perfect size and the beautiful alluring white leather just inviting you to touch it, to grab it and to never let go of it. It is simply irresistible - at least to me. The designers over at Michael Kors camp sure have a way of getting to me, since this is the second time in short period that I’ve chosen to write about a white Michael Kors bag. I like this one even better than I liked the last one. It has a special summery touch to it, and I don’t know what it is about that little piece of gold toned hardware on the tassel, but I find it absolutely adorable!

As always, the rational part of my brain is looking at the bag from more than one angle. That means I’ve paid attention to the wearability factor and the durability of both the materials and the style this bag reflects, and with all this in mind my original verdict stands - it’s a must have. Of course this kind of bags require extra care due to the white color and the sensitive leather, but if you are ready to give it the care and the attention it needs, this one will carry you throughout many many years and seasons to come.

Interior is leather lined and featured with zip, cell phone and organizational pockets.

SIZE: 21″ x 11″ x 5.5″ ; double handles with 11″ drop

MICHAEL Michael Kors “Santorini Wicker Clutch”

I’m not quite sure how to start this post, since I’m a bit confused. I can’t get my thoughts together to actually form an opinion on this clutch, if there is any. Should it be laughed at or admired? I do not know, it’s just one of those bags that are different in some way but I can’t tell if it is a total miss or a hit, my mind is blank at the moment. Just imagine seeing someone carrying this bag and catch that very first thought that comes to your mind. You would most definitely stare at it for some time, than stare at the person carrying it, than lower your head and stare at your feet for a bit, than stare at the bag again. What do you actually think of it? I must say I’m a bit struck by it, but let’s take this one thing at the time.

The design is ok, the shape is ok, it is very small but that’s also ok since there are occasions which demand a very small bag. And the last, but not the least - it is a wicker. It is definitely made for summer and if I can imagine anyone carrying it, it sure wouldn’t be during short winter days that’s for sure. It’s a wicker! Our feelings about it aside, tell me why would anyone want to make a wicker bag. Was it like they designed and made a chair and didn’t want to throw the remains so they decided to make a bag out of them? No, really, a wicker bag?

I guess you have to be pretty excentric to carry this one around. I’m experiencing a bunch of different sensations right now. I have to say that a part of me likes it, it is somewhat of a slap in the face to all of other bags with python this, croc that and all, and of course, don’t think that it was a joke to manufacture it… But on the other hand, those studs and gold metal hardware, I don’t know what to look at first.

Its flap top is made of slightly grained leather and you can choose between vanilla or gold when it comes to color. Gold metal hardware is brushed and used on the studs and hinge, which hides a magnetic snap closure underneath. The interior is fine textil lined and doesn’t have any compartment.

I don’t know. As for me, I would never buy it nor I would ever carry it. Or maybe I would, with a purpose of an experimental study of how would people react… You know how that goes with experiments, in arificial, strictly and closely monitored enviroment

Michael Kors “Rehearsal Python Clutch”

I’ve never paid much attention to Michael Kors clutches or to his exotics. I was always a bigger fan of his day handbags, especially spacious shoulder totes, than clutches and evening bags, but I just couldn’t pass on this one. I’ve seen his clutches, many of them as a matter of fact, but not one of them made it to my wish list in the past. This one, however, made it immediately, it was love at first sight and only because of multicolor python. Ok, not only because of that. But the shape, material and everything else about it has already been seen many times, so there’s no need to gush over that, it’s the colors that got me. We’re looking at a perfect clutch for summer time, perfect contrast to flaunting dresses we all love to wear.PRICE: $895.00 @ NeimanMarcus.com

Michael Kors NEW Arrivals - ID Chain Tote And Satchel

Trying to keep up with everything designers are introducing these days is impossible. And it’s not just that, now is the time when everything, including the bags, is on sale. I receive mass of information throughout the day about ongoing sales or new arrivals and trying to select which one might be more interesting than the other is very hard. I follow my instict  in hope you will, at least, meet me half the way. That’s how earlier today I was informed about brand new arrivals from Michael Kors. My expectations were not big but my surprise after seeing these two was.

One is a tote and the other is a satchel. These are roomy and practical every-day bags that will suit almost every outfit you can think of. Between these two I would always go for the tote because of it’s comfortable shape - you don’t want your bag to incommode you in any way and bags of this shape are ideal for all you busy-bees.

Ok, so, my favourite, the tote, is available in black, white and brown leather with a chain and ID plate on the front and a draw-string with a snap closure on top.                                                                                

PRICE: $1395,00 @ michaelkors.com

ID Chain satchel is available in white and brown leather, also featured with a chain and ID plate on the front and the draw-strings are tasseled. These tasseled draw strings are the detail I particulary liked about this satchel, because they lift the bag from serious to energetic, youthful and in-motion.
