The MICHAEL line by Michael Kors makes affordably-priced interpretations of the Kors collection. I often prefer the MICHAEL line to the Kors range precisely because it is more affordable, and I don’t think many of the Kors bags are interesting enough to warrant their high price tags. I’m not sure about this glazed embossed python bag, however. It’s kind of chic, but parts of the design are somewhat awkward.
The python embossed leather is not one of the awkward parts of the bag. I am no big fan of faux snakeskin, but Michael Kors really seems to have a way with it. The pattern is complex and nuanced enough to appear natural, and the glaze gives it a perfect, medium-glossed sheen.
It isn’t really the shape that concerns me, either. It’s a little bland and slouchy, but it’s not bad. It’s not particularly intriguing, but with this fabulous material, it doesn’t need to be. It’s the straps that are really bothering me. There’s something cheap looking about the chain link that is only further emphasized by the python covered links.
At $470, this is a very reasonably priced bag, especially for such an exotic look. If you can handle the somewhat cheesy looking straps, then it might be a decent investment.
