In Pursuit of a Hot Pink Bag

I have a lot of classic bags in my collection – but I was missing one item – a bright pop-of-color bag to brighten up my summer outfits. While either a red or yellow bag would work as a statement bag – I think we all know that I’d end up looking for something hot pink!

Michael Kors Hamilton Tote and Michael Kors Greenwich Satchel

I thought I had found the perfect pink bag at Michael Kors – the Greenwich is a beautiful raspberry shade. It’s made of durable saffiano leather and has a handy cross-body option- plus it was on sale for around $215. After admiring it in store several times, I went ahead and bought it.

OF COURSE, the weekend after I purchased it – I found the CUTEST hot pink bag EVER at the Coach outlet. The Mini-Domed Cora satchel is everything I could ever want in a hot pink bag – it’s tiny yet big enough to fit in my essentials (wallet/phone/keys) and the domed shape is reminiscent of the Louis Vuitton Alma. It was a bargain at $100, and I couldn’t leave it behind.

And I’m not the only one who fell in love with the Cora bag – I ended up going back and picking up the black version for my mother! But I felt guilty – because as much as I love pink – I knew I only needed ONE hot pink bag!!! Luckily the lovely manager at the Michael Kors store let me exchange my Greenwich bag for the small black Sutton (usually all sale bags are FINAL sale – good to know for the future!).

I haven’t used the Sutton bag too many times yet – but I’ll definitely write a bag review for it soon! Isn’t it such a cute bag?
