Does anyone have the Michael Kors medium travel tote? Reviews? Do the straps get longer? I need to go check it out in the store. I really want a new tote for whatever reason and the Tory Burch one didn't work for me as it didn't fit on my arm right.
Really I just want a bag and can't decide what to get...saw this teal one too, but don't know if I'm sold on the color and it's not a tote. I'm clearly not able to make a decision right now. ;P
I love the aqua blue one! So pretty. That said I don't know if it'd work well if you are really looking for a tote. I tend to prefer slouchy handbags, but they aren't real practical if you need to schlep files around at work. Plus I prefer my handbags to have 2 handbags for easier access.
Sorry I can't help with the Michael Kors. I looked at it (online only) when I was looking for a new tote for work and it just didn't jump out at me.

I looked at the MK one last year and decided to pass, the straps are too short and too thin, which makes them very uncomfortable. and I really am just not a fan of that leather, it's way too stiff

Oh - or maybe I want this. On sale on Nordstrom even...looks like I'm going to the store at lunch to check these out and make a decision and then order to get my extra 16%!

I have the MK Jet Set in XL and I love it. I prefer the stiffer leather because it keeps my bag from falling over when my laptop is in it. As for strap length it was perfect for me. I use mine strictly for domestic and weekend travel and it holds all my electronics and small travel clutch.
I think it depends on the color for the MK one. My co-worker got one in cobalt for Christmas and iit does not look cheap. I agree that I would prefer the stiffer saffiano leather since you are planning to carry your laptop around in it.
I have seen this in person and was not a fan. Seemed kind of cheap to me.
For totes I like the Michael Kors Hamilton, Rebecca Minkoff MAB, Rebecca Minkoff Bowery.
Do you find the MAB strap drop length to be long enough at only 7 inches?
I do - and I'm picky about the strap length. MAB is fine for me to wear over the shoulder. The straps on the Hamilton is are a little short for me, personally, but there is longer crossbody strap that helps.
