The Montauk combines the elegance you expect from Michael Kors with just a dash of whimsy.
The body is classic and simple, with clean lines and smooth neutral toned leather. The reinforced corners are more practical than pretty, but that’s just fine. In fact, the body’s only embellishment is the silver-toned nameplate shining brightly. It really pops against the black leather bag, but you’d never accuse it of overwhelming this simple design.
This basic bag is saved from being boring by the striped canvas handles. This unexpected touch of whimsy gives the Montauk a casual air, but you’d probably still get away with carrying it to a restaurant or movie once the sun goes down.
The stylish exterior is complemented by an ample interior, packed with features. I usually expect one or two pockets, but the Montauk delivers much more. There are three open pockets to be precise, plus a zippered compartment and a cell phone slip besides. The long attached keyfob is another practical touch girls on the go are sure to appreciate.
The $348 retail price is right in line with what we expect from Michael Kors, and perfectly reasonable when you consider the Montauk won’t go out of style any time soon.
