Here are our favourite Michael Kors handbags for 2015:

What are they made of?

Like the Michael Kors Selma tote, some Michael Kors Hamilton Tote,  the Michael Kors Jet Set travel tote is made from durable Italian Saffiano leather.  Some models feature an all-over pressed Michael Kors logo design, some have a perforated leather exterior and some are plain; however, all designs have classy gold hardware which includes petite strap buckles, the Michael Kors name in full and the recognisable circular MK charm logo.  Inside is a hanging zipped pocket, a slot pocket and a small lobster clasp closure.

Michael Kors Jet Set Tote is also made from a perforated leather which is sleek and cool. This bag is understated with an open top and roomy compartment.

How big are they?

The medium sized MK Jet Set tote measures in at H28 x W42 xD15cm, which makes for a roomy, comfortable carry-all with a generous handle drop of 19cm.

What colours are available?

The Jet Set collection spans a range of patterns and colours, including neutral black, white and tan along with brighter pinks, metallic and cherry.  The choice is vast and of course, it would not be a complete Michael Kors collection without some animal print thrown in for good measure.

Style tips

This bag, with all its finesse, will look great with palazzo pants, wedged sandals and a classic well-fitting vest top.  Perfect for Big Bag Lovers and Confident Classique personalities, this Michael Kors Jet Set tote lives up to its exclusive sounding name.

Michael Kors Selma Tote bag

Michal Kors Hamilton Tote bag

Post written by Claire Cobley

Michael Kors has provided us with a series of IT bags such as the Hamilton, Jet Set and Berkley clutch. So we were not surprised to see the brand taking on the trend of winged bags (also known as trapeze-shaped), inspired by Celine, to bring us the gorgeous Michael Michael Kors Selma tote.  In a range of colours from bold greens and pinks to subtle browns and black, you could take this handbag with you almost anywhere. As summer approaches and brings with it BBQs, the Derby, Ascot, three bank holidays, festivals, concerts and much much more, we believe the Selma tote will be enjoying itself at all of these fun-filled events.

Perfect as a spacious evening bag or the everyday go to handbag for all your essentials, don’t miss out on the hottest handbag shape of the season from the forever trustworthy and talented Michael Kors….

How Big Is It? 

With spacious dimension of H24 x W42 x D15cm, the handbag can easily be your ideal office/work bag. With plenty of room for an iPad, notebook and many other daily necessities, Boardroom Perfectionists, Miss Practicals and Confident Classiques will all adore this bag. The bold colours are perfect for summer and will certainly brighten up your mood!

What’s it made of? 

Made from strong saffiano leather  you can rest assured the bag will remain relatively scratch free but also that your handbag is right on trend. Every designer is using saffiano leather lately as it’s resistant nature and luxurious soft feel ensure your bag stands the test of time. Inside the Michael Kors Selma tote is a zip pocket and four compartments – ideal for the organised types!

What Colours Are Available? 

Across Selfridges, John Lewis, FarFetch and Harrods a wide range of colours are available. Green, pink, orange, brown, black, cream and blue are just to name a few. We LOVE the bright colours such as the pink, green and the rusty orange, and they are just ideal for summer. However, for a more professional and subtle look the brown and black are great classics, ideal for the workplace.

Style Tip

Pair the pink or green Selma tote with jeans, a vest top and open-toe flats for effortless summer style.

Handbag Experience 

This bag has the kind of style that transcends fashion trends and encourages that universal desire that every woman really wants: to look posh and expensive. This isn’t just because of the gold features that come with it, although they do add a touch of high class glamour, it’s because of the structured luggage leather and elegant way it doesn’t draw too much attention to itself but somehow manages be an item of envy to onlookers. Although if you did want to draw a little more attention to it, this bags comes in a variety of different colours. The other great news about this bag is that it can be carried as a traditional tote or also as a shoulder bag. This gives you many options when you are out and about.

When and where is it perfect for?

The large Hamilton tote is a bag that could fit something like a laptop, an iPad, notebooks or any other items you carry around with you, and you could quite easily organise your possessions with the different compartments. To give you an idea of just how big this bag is, I managed to fit my old chunky Dell laptop in it, which I usually have to carry around in a ruck sack. Watch out if you go for the small Hamilton tote to fit tech gadgets like a laptop and an iPad. Because of this, the Michael Kors Hamilton tote is the ideal office handbag – great for Boardroom Perfectionists and Big Bag Lovers. However, many of our bag personalities would adore having this bag in their collection. Miss Practical would love this bag for its convertible styles with the two handles, which can change from a casual slouchy look to a more professional style. The Confident Classique would find this bag a smart investment for its minimalist style that adds high class glamour that she could take with her from day to night.

Interior

The purpose of the gold padlock is to loosen the straps of the bag to give you better access to the inside, which has many different compartments including one specifically for your mobile phone, although the leather is a little stiff at first. There are five compartments in total and a handy clip for your purse to prevent it getting lost. This bag has a smaller cousin, the Hamilton mini messenger, which comes with all the same features but if you’re looking for a bag that could fit a fair portion of your life in then this would be a smart investment.

Material

The great thing about the Michael Kors collection of Hamilton totes is that they come in a variety of materials that changes with the seasons. From Bordeaux stud-trim leather, woven leather, burnished leather to calf hair – there is a material to suit everyone. Our personal favourite this season is the new Saffiano leather. Soft, durable, slick and clean we can easily see why it is this season’s must-have material for bags.

Best colour to pick

The Michael Kors Hamilton totes are available in such a wide selection of colours and patterns it is almost impossible to pick a favourite. Black, white, grey and beige are all perfect for your everyday office handbag. But, if you like a bit of colour in your life to add some sunshine to that rainy day try the purple. orange, pink or leopard print.

BagServant’s thoughts

Many Hollywood A-listers have been spotted with the Michael Kors Hamilton tote including, Emily Blunt, Beyonce Knowles and Jennifer Lopez. And if it’s good enough for style queen J-Lo it’s certainly good enough for us! The polished and professional look of this bag combined with the trendy colours, materials and patterns make it the PERFECT handbag for any woman. Carrying a tote like this you just ooze style, sophistication and class. We just can not wait to get our hands on the new Michael Kors Saffiano Hamilton Tote!

Doctor’s Orders  

Going away for the weekend has never been so fashionable, especially with the the Doctor shaped handbags seen on the A/W 12 catwalks of Louis Vuitton, Chloe and Fendi. The Weekend bag has had a makeover with the large boxy shape and it’s a must-have this and follows one of this seasons biggest statements that  size really does matter. If you’re a Big Bag Lover who wishes her handbag was like a Mary Poppins bag, then look no further as this is ideal to carry your everyday essentials.

Studs have been making an appearance from the A/W 12 catwalks of New York to even the high-street. Don’t be afraid to try out this trend, not only will it toughen up a look but it will also make you stand out from the crowd. We can’t get enough of this Alexander Wang Rocco bowling bag, which not only has rose gold studs but is also an ‘It’ bag spotted on many celebrities including Beyonce, Ashley Olsen and Vanessa White from The Saturdays.

 Statement handbag

Of course if leather, studs or oversized handbags are not your thing, then why not try a statement clutch that will definitely give you the wow factor. It’s not too early to invest in the special handbag for Christmas that will make you stand out from the crowd. We love Lulu Guinness’ Lip clutch which comes in many different colours and finishes. If you’re looking for something that is extravagant glittery and furry then check out Anya Hindmarch’s selection of bags and clutches, a must for any parties or a Girls Night Out.

Handbag Experience

Combining a sophisticated pebbled leather finish, with a chunky chain and leather strap, this handbag is a modern take on classic minimalism. The slouchy but large size of this Michael Michael Kors Jet Set Chain Tote makes it perfect for any formal or casual event. This beautiful tote will boost your classic style and give you that elegant edge all women want. The bag can hold your wallet, sunglasses, personal technology and a copy of your favorite magazine and still have plenty of space left over. Dual shoulder straps with chain-link accents makes it comfortable to carry but will certainly get eyes twitching.

When and where is it perfect for?

It is not often we would say this but this bag is perfect for almost any occasion. To dinner, drinks, work, travel or play – this bag will keep you organised, carry all your personal essentials and allow you to look smart, chic and feminine. Wear over the shoulder as a glamorous weekend add–on, or carry into work by the double straps for easy office glamour. Vintage Queens, Confident Classiques, Big Bag Lovers and Miss Practicals – this is definitely one for you.

Interior

The interior of this Michael Michael Kors Jet Set Chain Tote is spacious and luxurious. With logo-printed lining, even the inside of this bag feels extra special. The bag features a multitude of slip pockets to keep your cards or mobile and as the zip opens widely, it is easy to check on all your belongings.

Material 

Made from high-quality leather you can rest assured that this bag will feel and smell just as good as it looks. The subtle gold hardware make it an easy accompaniment to any outfit, while signature branding gives it a hint of designer style.

Best colour to pick 

For us, black is the clear winner. For that ultra city chick elegance and sophistication you really can not beat black. The Michael Michael Kors Jet Set Chain bags are also available in beige, rust and red.

BagServant’s thoughts 

We really do love this bag unconditionally. It is one of those handbags that will never go out of fashion and that you can always rely on to make you look good! Whether you are opting for a casual or formal outfit this bag will compliment your style and ensure you stand out from the crowd for all the right reasons. At £225 it is also a great price. This is an investment piece at  a fraction of the cost. Like we said, WE LOVE IT.
