Michael Kors: Not as good anymore

[melissatrv]

I don't love them as much as I used to. They, like other designers have resorted to making their bags either super small/micro or very large. I used to like the Small Jet Set Travel Tote. Now it only comes in Mini (waaaay too small) or Medium which is actually huge. It is often difficult to distinguish their made for outlet bags from their boutique bags. Lately the boutique prices have been marked down crazy low (sub-$100) which indicates these bags are just not selling. The last boutique bag I got was so poor quality and looked nothing like the color portrayed, I could not return it fast enough

Here are my suggestions:

1. Produce true size small/medium bags again
2. Leave MK logo bags as outlet only bags
3. Start including dustbags again instead of charging $5 extra. Don't include dustbags for outlet bags
4. Make bags in more colors. They recylce the same 5 colors over and over

Anyone agree that they have gone down hill? If so, what would your suggestions be?

MK is not the only brand that isn't like it used to be! You should see all of the complaints about the newer LV bags these days! It seems to be a sign of the times. Quality with these companies, doesn't seem as important as it used to be. It's all about mass production and outsourcing these days, which is exactly why many of us search for the earlier models, even vintage bags, because they were much better made.

Covid only made things even worse with so many companies trying to catch up from what they lost during the shut downs, getting stuck with stock they couldn't sell. Most suffered huge losses that they are still trying to recover from. I say let's give everyone some time to get back on track and enjoy what we have for now, or perhaps find a used high quality treasure from the past on the resale sites. Just be sure to pick a site with a good reputation. There are many good recommendations right here on the TPF.
