First off, I gotta say, I kinda have a love-hate relationship with MK. I mean, they’re everywhere, right? Like, you can’t swing a cat (please don’t swing cats!) in a mall without hitting a Michael Kors store. This can be a good thing, I guess, ’cause they’re usually pretty accessible price-wise, especially if you hit up their outlet. Speaking of outlets… those “Outlet Designer Handbags, Purses & Luggage” – sometimes you find *gold*, sometimes you find… well, let’s just say “not-gold.” Know what I mean? It’s a crapshoot.
Now, the *totes* specifically. Okay, the Bedford Medium Pebbled Leather Tote? That’s a classic. Like, *everyone* has one. It’s dependable, holds a ton of crap (and let’s be honest, we all carry a ton of crap), and the pebbled leather holds up pretty well to abuse. I’ve definitely chucked mine around and it’s still kicking. But the downside of being a classic? It’s, like, *everywhere*. You risk looking like everyone else. Ugh.
Then there’s the whole “large clear vinyl tote bag” situation… I saw one of those, and uh, I gotta be honest, I’m not sure what to think. On the one hand, it’s kinda cool and edgy? Like a “I’m so over it, I’m carrying all my stuff in a clear bag” kinda vibe. But on the other hand… everything is on display! Like, does anyone really want everyone to see their half-eaten bag of chips and emergency tampons? I feel like it’s a bold choice, and I’m not sure I have the confidence to pull it off. Plus, clear vinyl scratches so easily. No thanks.
And then you got your “Women’s Purple Totes” situation. Now, I *love* purple. But a purple tote? It can be tricky. Get the wrong shade and you’re looking at Barney the Dinosaur chic instead of “effortlessly stylish.” Tread carefully, people. Tread. Carefully.
Oh, and about that “Com estrutura suficiente e design funcional, a bolsa tote Jet Set é essencial o ano” (yeah, I totally copy-pasted that, my Portuguese is, uh, non-existent). I *think* it’s saying the Jet Set tote is a year-round essential. And yeah, I kinda agree. It’s another classic, it’s roomy, it’s generally not offensive. The downside? Again, *everyone* has one.
