Michael Kors bags - Yay or Nay?

I like them. But so does every 15 year old in South London. Would you be seen dead wearing one?

If I liked the style/colour/leather of the bag & it wasn't extortionate, I might consider it even though I don't care for obvious logos/blingy hardware. So basically it would be neither here nor there to me if it was a "named" bag or not.

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 10/01/2016 22:54

I was just going to say every teen girl in town has a fake one. They're going the way of Burberry, I wouldnt have one.

burnishedsilver · 10/01/2016 23:17

Nay.

ToomuchChocolatemeansBootcamp · 10/01/2016 23:19

Nay. Too obvious. I'm lusting after a gorgeous Coach one I saw in JL, much more classy.

LadyMaryofDownt0n · 10/01/2016 23:20

No sorry it's the new Burberry!

Longislandicetee · 10/01/2016 23:41

Lots of people are going to come along and tell you "no" because they're ubiquitous, chavvy, tacky etc etc and just slag off MK bags.

I have a lot of bags by a lot of well known designers. But seriously, one of my favourite knocking about bags is my black Michael Kors jetset. It's roomy, light, good handles and sleek looking. It's clearly a copy of the Neverfull, and to me that's probably the main dodgy thing about MK bags. How they have not been sued by LV, Prada and Chloe is somewhat of a mystery! They must know where the bodies are buried.Grin

HolgerDanske · 10/01/2016 23:42

Always a nay for me.

Sorry!

CookieDoughKid · 11/01/2016 00:00

No. Much prefer Coccinelle classier!

HooseRice · 11/01/2016 00:03

Nay, nay and thrice nay.

mowglik · 11/01/2016 00:11

Nope!

ZenNudist · 11/01/2016 00:12

Nay

Another vote for coach here

BuggersMuddle · 11/01/2016 00:14

Used to, but now don't. Too ubiquitous and the look is getting a bit cheap.

Having said that, I still use my Jet Set tote with laptop sleeve because all else aside, it is fab as a combo laptop bag / briefcase / handbag. I will probably replace it with another Jet Set tote (as not come across another company that does a similar laptop / handbag combo), but am reluctant to buy a non-laptop bag.

polyhymnia · 11/01/2016 00:17

No way. No bount there are exceptions but way too bling you and ubiquitous for me.

polyhymnia · 11/01/2016 00:17

Doubt!

marghini · 11/01/2016 00:20

Nay. Really tacky looking at this point imho.

happygoluckylady · 11/01/2016 08:22

No. They're everywhere now. Just a bit cheap and nasty looking.

SinglePringle · 11/01/2016 08:33

Nay, nay and thrice nay.

Too blingy and off the market cheap looking.

Only1scoop · 11/01/2016 08:34

Just Ebayed mine

I'm more an old classic just dipped my toeSmile

cashewnutty · 11/01/2016 08:39

I have two, both in the same style but one navy and one black with cream trim. Both look timeless and classy to me. I use the black one for work. I don't like all the styles though.

Larastheme · 11/01/2016 08:40

Big nope for me,

cashewnutty · 11/01/2016 08:41

This is the style i have. I don't like any of the others.

PicnicPie · 11/01/2016 08:42

Definitely a nay!

SquadGoals · 11/01/2016 09:04

I adore mine. I have the same as cashew and the Bedford in tan. As well as a purse.

I don't really care that teenage girls have the same ones. I used to commute and needed something sizeable to carry everything.

I've had Coach bags in the past that only lasted 7-8 months before looking old and tatty. These have both lasted 2-3 years and still look brand new.

KoalaDownUnder · 11/01/2016 09:08

No.

Hate all the gold bling, and that nasty logo thing that hangs off them.

itsbetterthanabox · 11/01/2016 09:53

The big MK on them all is so showy and gaudy. The pale pink and blue ones are the worst. I wouldn't wear one. Black, brown or red bags for me only.
