To Splurge or NOT to splurge? THAT is the question.
Jury, I present to you the plaintiff: MICHAEL KORS SIGNATURE EAST/WEST TOTE
In this case, my wallet is the defendant!
This is my situation. I've been buying and selling designer handbags since I was 17 years old.
I'm now 23, and I'm looking to make wiser decisions when it comes to "investing" in expensive items.
I'm looking at the MK brand itself. Is this brand going to last?
I see what's happening to Coach now. Last year, Coach bags that were worth at least $250 are now being sold for less than $100 on ebay. Their quality is still amazing, but the brand worth has gone down. In my opinion, Coach seems slightly boring and predictable.
Michael Kors bags give you that vibrant, glamorous feeling.
Let's compare ads.
MK 2011
VS
COACH 2011
Conclusion:
I'm just going to blatantly say what we're all thinking...
WTF? What is going on with Coach's designs?
The past two years have been a little weird for Coach.
When your factory outlets are making more revenue than your retail stores, that MUST tell you something?! NO ONE wants to pay regular prices for COACH merchandise.
On the other hand, the Michael Kors Signature Tote that I want has been sold out consecutively in countless stores in the United States.
So this brings me back to my original question. Is it okay to splurge on the Michael Kors Tote?
Compared to the Louis Vuitton bag that MK mimics, the $226 price tag seems too enticing!
Obviously the quality is not the same as Louis Vuitton, but the MK tote does everything that a bag is supposed to do. I've read a lot of reviews that say the bag almost never gets dirty, you can wipe the interior with a cloth, there are many pockets inside for organization, and it's stylish.
