I'm thinking of Michael Kors sandals which have MK in gold on the buckle

Thoughts ?

I think so. I don’t use my MK bag anymore.

JustOneFootInFrontOfTheOther · 04/03/2024 22:22

Yes.

twasacoldwintersnight · 04/03/2024 22:22

I thought so too. My gut feeling was correct lol

Tacky.

AristotelianPhysics · 04/03/2024 22:28

I think it’s gone into naff territory, sorry.

SophiaElizabethGrace · 04/03/2024 22:29

Yep

Moier · 04/03/2024 22:30

Yes and there is so many fakes about.. you sometimes can't tell the genuine from the fake.

DramaAlpaca · 04/03/2024 22:30

I find it so, yes.

yourlobster · 04/03/2024 22:30

Yeah, really cheap looking. I still wear my MK sunglasses but wouldn't have a bag or anything with an obvious logo.

Rocknrolla21 · 04/03/2024 22:31

My thoughts are wear whatever the fuck you want. I’m assuming these are a minimum £100-£200. Unless I’m no longer with the times I thought ‘tacky’ was cheap and badly made. These are anything but cheap, if you’re brave enough to post a pic we’ll probably find they’re nicely made too.

letthemalldoone · 04/03/2024 22:31

It's a bit ubiquitous, and so many fakes. I haven't used my MK bags for a while, which is sad, because they are lovely.

I would still use them though, if I was feeling it!

everythinglooksbetterpaintedblack · 04/03/2024 22:31

They've had their time

fluffycatkins · 04/03/2024 22:33

Yes.
But if you like them buy them, just get them from a discount store.

TheChosenTwo · 04/03/2024 22:34

Sorry but yes from me. I don’t like anything with obvious branding or logos though so I think clothes and bags with an instantly I dentifying logo on is a bit tacky!
God knows why dh thought to buy me one of those bloody obnoxious mark jacobs tote bags for Christmas… 😂

Chypre · 04/03/2024 22:36

Tacky or not, if you hold off just now and wait long enough (for sandals we are talking "wait until spring kicks in") then you will buy those for the third of the price in TK Maxx... Always on sales.

There's a difference between inexpensive and cheap.

MinervatheGreat · 04/03/2024 22:41

MK always had been tacky.
He’s so “yesterday.”
As above, go to TKMaax. He’s everywhere in there.
You might get a bargain in due course.

Someonescatmum · 04/03/2024 22:42

I think it's what the kids call 'cheugy'.

2chocolateoranges · 04/03/2024 22:44

If you like them then buy them and wear them. Who cares what anyone else thinks.

“He’s so yesterday” that makes it sound like we are still at school

love my MK bag and still use it loads.

ILoveSalmonSpread · 04/03/2024 22:44

I might also throw in Ted Baker in case you were looking at alternatives.

PickAChew · 04/03/2024 22:46

Very tacky. Too much self advertising bling to not be.

TheCatOnMorrisseysHead · 04/03/2024 22:48

I know nothing about designer names so googled. I genuinely thought that these were a cheapo knockoff kind of designer you'd get on a market- always worn round here by the tackiest looking lasses with dodgy fake tan and spider false eyelashes. So I'd say that the brand is definitely naff, sorry OP.

Sockmate123 · 04/03/2024 22:56

Yes cheap and tacky vibes!

Shitlord · 04/03/2024 23:16

Obv if you like them wear them but to my taste they've always looked naff and over branded, and now look dated.

drumbeats · 04/03/2024 23:33

Not tacky so much as very uncool. Sort of brand people who have no idea about brands buy thinking they are buying designer

Michael Kors COLLECTION is actually very expensive and high end but the brand has ruined its image with the cheap MK, Michael Michael Kors and Kors lines.
I don't know anyone who would buy a Michael Kors collection bag and pay £1500 for a bag that people would associate with the cheap lines
