Are Michael kors bags a bit tacky?

I've been thinking of getting myself one as I really like the shape of the totes, but I know the watches are beloved of teenage girls and I just wanted to check whether the handbags are viewed as a bit off or not.

Tacky isn't really the word I want but I can't think what it is!

I just bought a medium selma messenger in a neutral colour, and that isn't tacky at all.

Hope you enjoy your bag!

I will continue to enjoy my blingy navy MK jet set tote!

The very blingy ones are too shiny etc for me, the jet set ones NaP show are fine.

I don't do a regular commute so I don't see them around at all.

too late now, but I have this Michael kors and its lovely, im not normally a fan of lots of gold hardware but this is fine. is a perfect size for all my day to day junk. I see a lot of the totes about, the more structured bag with the open top, or the Hamilton ? the one with the lock. www.selfridges.com/en/Bags/Brand-rooms/Brands/MICHAEL-KORS/Jet-Set-medium-leather-shoulder-bag_128-3001451-30S11JSE2L230/?previewAttribute=Luggage

I have the kate spade minka in a grey as well, that's a good ize if im on my own for a short day, just needing my purse keys, phone etc, but not if I need to carry a lot. even though my dc are older now (youngest is 4) I still carry juice cartons or water bottles and wipes and tissues if out and about with them. usually a couple of bananas or apples as well. the joys of being a parent.

The big MK medallion is removable.
Then the bag looks classy , though they are ubiquitous.
I've always wanted to use that word but never had an opportunity before.

Michael Kors bags are great for any age! There are the high-end bags which are just Michael Kors and the more affordable bags which are MICHAEL Michael Kors. However, I find women wear them at any age just like any designer brand. I did find a great site called //www.luxurybuddy.com that sells MK bags at lower prices than other places and it's 100% authentic. I say check it out and then you don't feel as bad when you buy a bag that's cheaper than the retail prices.
