If you’re loving the current tough luxe look in all things apparel at the moment, then this Michael Kors Navy Hamilton studded textured-leather tote from the amazing SS13 collection is the ideal choice for you.  This brand new leather tote bag from Michael Kors is so on trend it’s ridiculous!  Studs are super hot right now and you can feast your eyes on some more lovely studded specimens throughout BagServants new arrivals collection.

 

Is it practical?

This leather tote bag is big and bold and can pretty much house most of your day to day belongings! Weighing in at 1.9kg and with dimensions proudly boasting 14”x13”x5” this bag is not for the fainthearted.  Michael Kors Hamilton tote bags are mostly on the larger side and with its gleaming gold hardware studs, this model is certainly a statement bag.  Its inner zip pockets and pouch, along with its roomy body allow you to make the most out of its size.  Inside, it is fully lined in a luxurious champagne and MK embossed canvas, so the interior is just a sexy as the exterior! Carry this gorgeous navy tote by its short handles or mix it up with the chain and matching leather shoulder strap.  Alternatively copy the fashionistas like Victoria Beckham, and carry it on your hip!

Who wears it?

Lots of A-list celebrities are fans of this brand, including Jennifer Lopez and Heidi Klum, however Michael Kors has also designed clothing for higher profile people such as Michelle Obama.  His designs have also featured in films and he created ‘that dress’ expertly worn by Rene Russo in film ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’.

Did you know?

Michael Kors was obviously made for this industry.  He was designing clothing during his teenage years and started selling his wares from the basement of his parents’ house which he creatively called the ‘Iron Butterfly’.  No wonder his handbags are so divine, he started young and has had lots of practice!  Check out his other tote bags, like the Selma Textured-Leather tote for examples of his more feminine pieces.

Why do we love it?

We adore this hard, edgy, 90’s grunge inspired look…everything about it screams cool.  Even so, this tote still has a classic shape and an air of sophistication.  The signature gold lock hardware, which not only secures its concertina folds in place, also carries the sought after MK logo so everyone knows you’ve got great taste in designer handbags!  It’s so good that it is @Mrs_BagServant’s favourite this week.  We love the navy leather which is a fantastic alternative to everyday black and provides a great base colour for those uber trendy gold studs.  Last but not least, we’re crazy about the little gold feet on the base of the bag which not only look great but ensure that you never get your handbag dirty.  Perfect!

BagServants style tips

Wear this bag with a shift style mini dress and flat chunky studded boots for a daytime rock-chic ensemble, or take it out on the town with heels, skin tight trousers and a sheer oversized shirt.  Perfect for Big Bag Lovers, Chic Yummy Mummy, Miss Practical and Trendsetters.
