Welcome back to my designer collection series—this time I’m walking you through my entire Michael Kors handbag collection and, honestly, how I got here as someone who never considered myself a “Kors girly.” For the longest time I stayed clear of MK bags (I was more interested in their ready-to-wear), but over the last six years I’ve picked up a handful of pieces that really earned a spot in my wardrobe—mostly because I pay attention to structure, leather quality, and everyday wearability. I share what I own, how I use each bag (spoiler: a lot of these are work-bag heroes), and what’s actually held up over time. We get into my AIL satchel in “flame” (still one of my favorite reds), my Mela small shopper in cotton canvas that gives easy summer tote energy, and my black Manhattan satchel with slick hardware that gives me that moody neutral base with a pop of color—perfect for winter outfits. I also talk about trying new materials for the first time with the Lyra shoulder bag (hair calf) and the Nolita hobo in newok leather, plus my overall conclusion: the Michael Kors bags I truly love are the more understated, low-logo styles.
