MICHAEL KORS HAMILTON BAG UNBOXING 2015 - FASHIONETTE.DE


I am so excited to do this post because I finally got my hands on a bag I wanted for so long and you can imagine how I felt when I received the box from fashionette. For those of you who are not familiar with the website, I will explain the concept. So Fashionnette.de is a online designer bags and accessories retailer (nothing new), but as we all know that spending 1,500Euros on a single handbag can be quite overwhelming for many people. So the company decided to provide you with the option to pay the amount on a monthly basis where you pay 1/12 of the price every month. I was a bit sceptical at the beginning, I thought there has to to be some sort of catch, but I was wrong. When I calculated the difference in the two prices I found that I would pay just 50 euros more if I do it in 12 installments, rather than all at once. However, because I subscribed to their newsletter I also got a 20 euros coupon code that made the total difference in the 2 prices even smaller. 
Now I am going to pay less than 32euros per month and the total price after 1 year would equal little over 381 euros. In comparison if you buy the bag and pay the full price at once you will pay 349 euros. You also have the possibility to choose to make the payment in 3 installments (3months) rather than 12. This makes the difference in the 2 prices even smaller. This way you get the possibility to own an expensive handbag that you wouldn't normally be able to afford. 
The website has a wide variety of brands including Michael Kors, Valentino, Prada, Balenciaga, YSL and much more. Sadly, they only ship to Germany and Austria for now, however I am pretty sure they are expanding at the moment to more countries in Europe. For more information, you can visit their website here - http://www.fashionette.de
Let's get started....

Package came 3 days after I placed my order on the website. I ordered the Michael Kors Hamilton Large Handbag(Safiano Leather) in the color Navy. Here is a link - http://www.fashionette.de/michael-michael-kors-hamilton-lg-ew-satchel-navy
Inside of the box were the handbag itself and an envelope with my invoice and some information for the customer.
The bag was packaged and protected very well. All of the hardware was sealed and wraped, so that it won't get dirty or damaged during the shipping.
The original dust bag was included inside of the bag. The material feels like satin and has the name of the brand written in the front with silver(glittery) letters.

The hardware is gold and quite heavy - there is a lock on the front which you can easily remove using the key in the small leather pocket on the right. However, I don't mind the heaviness and I think the lock is one of the things that make this model unique.

This is how the bag looks like from the inside. It does have some pockets and little departments which makes organizing easier and it has a zipper compartment in the middle which separates the bag into 2 main compartments.
The bag closes by a magnetic clasp on a leather extension.
The bag comes with a long leather and metal(gold) strap which can be removed and a little wrislet attachable chain inside.
The Safiano leather is quite hard but this is okay because it won't wrinkle or scratch as it would have if it was a soft type of leather. Furthermore, it won't get as dirty because you can clean pretty much anything if you just wipe it away. Another plus is that you don't have to be so worried if you are caught in the rain, your bag won't be ruined.

Compared to my big HM bag, the Hamilton looks quite small. You would probably be able to fit just 1/3 or of the stuff you can put into the HM one. However, I use the HM handbag to go to school and I need lots of storage space for my notes,tablet and books that I bring with me. I am not planning on carrying this to uni, as you can probably guess. So this means I won't need that much space anyway.
Overall, the quality is amazing, the style is very classic and timeles and there are quite few shades to choose from. I know that most people reach for the Selma bag by Michael Kors but I preffer this one better. 

I hope this post was informing and helpful and I will talk to you again soon,

Until next time,

xoxo Eliceanna
