The MICHAEL line has been a little up and down, lately, but this Hamilton tote has a solidly classic aesthetic that’s really working. It also has a few urban touches that keep it looking contemporary.
The taupe color of the leather is great. Sometimes neutral equals boring, but this color is soft and rich and will go with anything. Unfortunately, the quilting on the leather is sort of badly executed. The leather is just a little smooth and thick to take the pattern very well, and it comes off looking a little plastic-y.
The design of the Hamilton is really pared down. There is little embellishment, and what embellishment there is is mostly functional. The front strap isn’t, but it has an eye-catching silver padlock closure that makes it cool anyways. The chain and leather strap is a great touch on this classy bag, as it adds a subtle edginess.
Overall, the style of the Hamilton is solid enough to make a great everyday bag for a woman with classic, but modern, style. And at $350, the Hamilton requires a minimal investment for a high return.
