J Crew metallic Thomson tote VS Michael Kors metallic tote

The J Crew metallic Thomson tote (99192), $198. The metallic colors are attractive. One drawback is that the tote is unlined. I am loving the Candace patent leather tote ($150, unavailable online) that I got from J Crew earlier in the season, so I didn't try this one on my shoulder.


The Michael Kors metallic tote, $198. I'm not sure if this is unlined. I passed by it in Macy's and it struck me as being more attractive than the J Crew tote. I think the handles are thinner and more subtle. The ones on the J Crew tote look clunkier. The MK tote also looks more structured, as though it will hold its shape better over time.


If you're interested in the J Crew tote, I suggest you check out the MK one as well. I saw it at Macy's. It's offered at Dillard's as well.

  1. Oh I love the metallic bags and all the shiny and sparkly 'stuff' going on at JCrew. (I do think JCrew is going a little sequin crazy, throwing them on everything thinking it will sell.) I really like the gold sequin tank in your other post too.

    Thanks for the heads up about the Michael Kors tote.

  2. Oops, I meant sequin top not tank.

  4. tigs - I love the sparkles @ JCrew also. We need shine in our life to lift our collective spirit. ;-)

    anon@5:48 - I will have to check out the Coach. I know they have overhauled their offerings. Yay on your Carly!
