Customer Reviews MICHAEL Michael Kors Hamilton East/West Satchel

I love the bag. It is a bone color but the picture makes it look more white. I knew the color was bone since I saw someone who had the bag. Didn't want the north/south bag because it was too big. The east/west is the perfect size for an everyday bag. The option of wearing it with the handles or shoulder strap is also a great feature. I am not an impluse buyer and had looked at the bag for a couple of months and finally decided to purchase it. Perfect size, perfect color, perfect features.

5 years. Took me years to find a bag that was not a suitcase, not a makeup bag, had silver hardware, and was of good quality leather. I love this bag! I don't general carry a purse but I will on vacation to schlep around the camera, wallet, snacks, etc. I get so many compliments on this purse. I am getting the black one for Fall/Winter. I was in the store and saw this bag in the large version and kept thinking, if only it were a little shorter. Then I saw the small version, if only it were a bit bigger. And voila. On sale. Free overnight shipping. I think I just had the best summer ever. There are plenty of pockets and room for a wallet, makeup bag, cell phone, keys, receipts, snacks, anything else you might stuff into your purse. I have not found anything wrong with this purse. I adore the silver. The strap is not removable but like the other reviewer said, it sits under the purse nicely. Also the length is perfect on me; I am 5'8. Buy now!

This handbag is very small. It is beautiful though. Make sure you like small handbags before you buy this one.

This is a sharp little bag. Very stylish. Saw it at the store, plenty of room without being a large bag. A couple of major disappointments: the leather doesn't look like quality leather and if your hands are average size or larger you can't fit them in this bag to reach your items. Opening is very small and is not adjustable. This is a major flaw for me.

I love, love, love this bag! I receive so many compliments... Perfect size and goes with everything.

This is a beautiful bag. It's not too large and not too small. Everything I carry fits nicely inside. I bought the navy and the silver hardware compliments it perfectly. Some people have said they thought the leather was cheap looking but I think it's gorgeous. I know I'll be happy to carry it for a long time.

I bought two of them, vanilla with silver hardware and luggage with gold hardware color. They are gorgeous and every time I wear I get a lot of compliments. It's a little beautiful classic and time less purse. I enjoy them hope you do the same.

I love this bag I have had it for about a year it still looks new. A classic style.

I bought it in color luggage. Just as others were saying, the leather looks a little bit cheap; however, it\'s a nice cute little bag and very stylish. I love it so far. If you get it in black or vanilla, I think the leather probably will look better.

It is simply awesome! I wear it everywhere and get compliments all the time. I recommend this gorgeous bag! Have fun!

Simply put Zappos is outstanding when it comes to quality and pricing. I bought the bag for my girlfriend and she loves it! Will purchase from Zappos again! Great bag.

I love this handbag! I find there is a lot of room in it for being smaller. The long strap is not detachable but it is perfect to rest under the handbag. Just a smart looking bag! On sale, too. Of course Zappos is 5 stars as usual!

This definitely is a good looking bag; however, it's way too small. So if you're looking for something that can fit all of your essentials (make-up case, wallet, glasses, etc), this bag is not for you. I definitely think I'll be checking out the larger version. I received it yesterday and I'm sending it back today.

Disappointed with quality of the leather & hate the fact the strap was not removable. Shipped it back the same day it arrived.

I was shocked and very disappointed with the leather quality of this bag. I returned it immediately.

Honestly, if you review any bag and complain that it's too small, your dissatisfaction is most likely your own fault because you failed to review the item specifications. Unless the bag is deceptively & heavily padded on the inside (this one is not) then you shouldn't be complaining that you can't fit everything that you normally carry in an over-sized tote. The bag is 9" height, 12" width, and 4" depth. Please read the specifications (and even pull out a tape measure if necessary) before purchasing! Got this bag in Navy and I love that it's a small-to-medium bag that holds more than a regular crossbody or clutch. I'm 5'2" and most bags overwhelm my small frame but this one is perfect. The leather is soft but the overall structure is sturdy. Surprisingly, the handles haven't started flopping down and have stayed upright. Due to my comfort with crossbody bags, I'm currently trying to find a way to extend the chain so that I can still wear it casually (closer to my hips). The best part about this bag is that it's large enough to fit my netbook, keys, wallet, phone, lipbalm, & snacks.

I have this bag in orange, it does not look cheap. I used to prefer coach but now MK is my love thing This purse is small but just right for a classy outing where a large purse is not appropriate. I now own 9 Michael Kors purses and 4 pairs of shoes 2 pairs of boots, iPhone case and iPad case and many clothing so I am fast becoming a MK girl. Try a Hamilton; you will fall in love.

This purse is AMAZING. It is the PERFECT size, not too big, not too small! It's beautiful and easy to carry. I have seen some other reviews who thought this bag was too small, I guess that would depend on how much you carry. I carry a full sized wallet, my phablet, make up case, tissues, gum etc. and this is works great for me. By way of comparison, I went from a Kate Spade Gold Coast Evangeline Shoulder Bag to this MK Hamilton East/West and the MK is at least TWICE as roomy. It's a beautiful bag and I've received lots of compliments on it.

I got this bag last week, it got here really fast and I was so excited. I started using it immediately, I absolutely love this bag! It fits all my needs and I love that I can carry it on my shoulder when I'm carrying lots of things. I also can fit my iPad mini. If you carry the bigger iPad, you should go with the bigger version of this bag, but this bag is perfect for an everyday bag.

This bag is so beautiful! It is a show stopper! I have the black with gold accents, the size is a bit smaller than most Michael Kors however with that said I am able to fit my matching Michael Kors iPhone wallet, make up case, Kindle, phone, keys, etc. comfortably. The double straps fit on your four arm not your shoulder but that is what the chain strap is for anyway. I usually prefer a smaller satchel with a softer leather but given the over style and look of the bag I could not pass it up. I have been eye balling this bag for over a year and over the holiday I finally found an awesome price on it so I snatched it up immediately. I use it as an every day, dressed up or even with jeans and heels. It is very classy, definitely an attention grabber. The photo does not do it justice, it is even more beautiful in person. Trust me when I say, you will not be disappointed.

I have this bag in 10 different colors. It is by far my favorite MK bag! It's incredibly stylish and so versatile. It can be dressy or casual. I love that it can be comfortably carried by the top handles or it rests comfortably from the longer strap on your shoulder. There are several interior side pockets. I use one for my cell and the other for a small notepad / pen and I still have ample room for wallet, lip color, etc. I can't say enough about this particular style. I highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed.

I received this great bag on a timely basis, and the price was really good.

This bag is the perfect size if you are petite. I am 5'4" and many of the other totes are huge on my small frame. It's a beautiful bag is large enough to hold all you need for a day or evening. I highly recommend it.

I am a handbag addict, I have a masters degree in handbags. :) Truthfully this is the best bag bar none that I have every purchased. Love the magnetic closure, the structure of it -it stays up! The handles are rounded and sturdy and stay UP. The leather is beautiful and it's the perfect size. The only thing I did was cut the chain shoulder strap off since the handles fit fine on my shoulder. LOVE it and do not have one bad thing to say about it except I wish I had more colors!

I have this bag- it's absolutely stunning. I've never received as many compliments as I have with this bag- it's a conversation starter with total strangers. As someone mentioned earlier, this bag's size is listed (as are all bags here) and if you think it's too small, don't complain; it's your fault. I wanted a bag that was E/W because I find the N/S impossible to work with. Maybe the people who like the N/S bags stack their items- something I don't (or wouldn't do). Unfortunately, I have 2 issues about the bag. 1. You can't remove the lock because it holds together the two leather straps that are on the bag for ornamentation on the top front. I just don't like wearing overt logos on my bags. 2. This is silly, but I really miss not having a cell phone slit on the outside of the bag. There's an elegant way to do this, but they didn't. Lastly- I like it even though it's clearly an attempt at catering to the Birkin knockoff crowd without being too overt. You can remove the key, which I did, and it looks way more like it's own bag. It's beautifully made and stays sturdy. Recommend.
