But really, what is the point of that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bmakowsky-versus-kors-bag-smackdown#post-204261 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 17:53:37 +0000 PalmFronds 204261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your added input Carole and Sparky.Both pieces of information I need to know!<br /> I was also concerned about the weight of the MK bag,esp with me likely ordering it online without holding it myself. I am NOT a fan of heavy bags, no matter how nice looking! I will likely end up with the Makoswky bag unless someone has some more info against it. It felt very good on my shoulder and still has the classic rich look I like so much.<br /> Permission to break shopping ban? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bmakowsky-versus-kors-bag-smackdown#post-204253 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 17:07:16 +0000 Sparky 204253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to have that MK bag on my wish list. It popped up recently at my local Rack ~ there were actually two of them I carted around the store for a while. I was surprised how heavy they were when completely empty. All that hardware, especially the padlock, really add up, so keep that in mind. </p> <p>Holding one in person helped me decide that it wasn't for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bmakowsky-versus-kors-bag-smackdown#post-204218 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 15:35:55 +0000 Carole 204218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, this is tough, how to choose? I really like the MK bag, and the last one pictured. As far as softness, I have a buttery rich MK bag, and love it and the hardware has held up very well, I wondered about that too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bmakowsky-versus-kors-bag-smackdown#post-204165 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 13:01:39 +0000 PalmFronds 204165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies,thanks for your input!<br /> I have noticed the MK bags I do see in stores near me have varied levels of softness and thickness to their leather.Some of them I don't care for but others are amazing.The B.Makowsy bags by and large are consistent in their richness of the leather.<br /> This bag in particular is really divine and has a purple satiny lining that is glorious! </p> <p>The hardware is a concern for me--any input on how well I should I expect it to bear up to scratches,dulling etc? For both pieces hardware is front and center so if that starts looking shabby it will affect the whole bag I think... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bmakowsky-versus-kors-bag-smackdown#post-204161 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 11:29:19 +0000 Lisa 204161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been hit or miss with MK handbags. Makowsky leather is usually very buttery too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bmakowsky-versus-kors-bag-smackdown#post-204133 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 04:49:12 +0000 NK 204133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a huge handbag person, but my vote is for the B. Makowsky. It has a richer look to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bmakowsky-versus-kors-bag-smackdown#post-204074 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 02:22:36 +0000 annagybe 204074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still like the Micheal Kors better. It reminds me of the Hermes Kelly. Plus the MK looks like it's made of thicker leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bmakowsky-versus-kors-bag-smackdown#post-204073 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 02:18:30 +0000 PalmFronds 204073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow that was quick!

I like the Michael Kors better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bmakowsky-versus-kors-bag-smackdown#post-204057 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 01:30:04 +0000 PalmFronds 204057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I have decided that should I stick with this shopping ban, I TOO will be rewarded with a fab handbag just like Taylor.The difference is that my husband can't for the life of him understand why I would WANT another bag so I'l be buying it for myself, but I digress...<br /> I am still thinking about the LAMB Corsaire satchel as a possibility, but sticking with my more classic style I am weighing the possibilty of the previously mentioned Kors Hamilton bag(in cream or black most likely):<br /> <a href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Michael+Kors+Hamilton+Medium+leather+tote+bag./139413053,default,pd.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk.....lt,pd.html</a></p> <p>versus this B.Makowsky Rockerfeller bag I saw online previously and today at TJMaxx(but left on the rack because of this shopping ban, SOB!!!). </p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/product/7617395/color/235933" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/product/7617395/color/235933</a></p> <p>IN leather:<br /> <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&#038;item=110565021141&#038;rvr_id=127580494484&#038;crlp=1_263602_263622&#038;UA=M*S%3F&#038;GUID=c1f0be121180a09c14d1f561fff46666&#038;itemid=110565021141&#038;ff4=263602_263622#ht_3896wt_913" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA.....3896wt_913</a></p> <p>The bag is fabulous and feels great on my shoulder. I would probably get it in black or burgundy-type color if I could.<br /> I have not seen the Kors bag in person yet to get an idea of the weight and feel on my shoulders/hands etc.<br /> What's your verdict on the smackdown? I own one other small B.Makowsy bag and I love it, but have not had it for very long so don't know how it bears out over time. The leather is divine though.</p> <p>thanks for your input! </p>
