Review: Michael Kors Selma


I ordered this bag online, when Macy's had their 20% off friends and family sale. I got a pretty good deal on it which even included free shipping!
I first saw this bag when Rachel (checkinthemirror) posted her one, in white on instagram. Nikkiphilippi then got the black one, I loved it so much I knew I had to get my hands on one too!

Shipping to Australia took about 10 days in total, It was packaged nicely in a box, with all the plastic around it and it included a dust bag too.

I really needed a new black handbag, as all of mine were faulty in their own ways, so I thought it would be a good idea to invest in a good quality one. 
This bag is made of Saffiano Leather, it is extremely high quality and durable.

What I love about the bag:
  • Classy Design, It will go with any basically anything. I love how it has a long strap, which can be more practical for carrying it in the crook of your arm and also it can give it a more casual look.
  • It's a good size. Not too big, not too small. It fits all your essentials and it will also fit an iPad. (I'm only 5'2, so for me it's a good size) I use it on days when I don't need to carry my life around with me. The neverfull is good for that.
  • It has internal pockets! One side has a zip pocket with two additional ones to hold your mobile etc, the other side also has two pockets. This makes organizing your bag so much easier. Big thumbs up to that!
  • It has pegs on the bottom, for when you need to put your bag down, it won't ruin the beautiful leather.
  • The long adjustable strap, makes this bag more versatile, I personally love long straps on my bags, so it makes it a good change from using my LV Speedy. 
  • Because of the quality of the Saffiano Leather, it will always look nice and new.
I purchased it in the Black Saffiano Leather with Gold Hardware. It's available in a variety of colours, including tan, white, yellow, green, pink, navy. I've also seen that they have some duo toned ones too!

Pockets, It also features a clasp which you can put your keys on.

There's not many things I don't like this bag at all, Maybe that it's a little on the heavy side, but to me, that just shows that it's sturdy and well made.

Overall, I highly recommend this bag, very impressed with the quality. For the price it is extremely worth it. It is only a fraction of a Louis Vuitton bag, but still is high in quality and also has alot of features. Luckily, it is available at Macys and Bloomingdales, which always seem to have coupon codes!

This was also my first Michael Kors purchase and it has definitely made me want more. I'm eyeing the Michael Kors Hamilton in Saffiano Leather - Cadet. Mmm. But for now, I will continue to make the most out of this bag :)

    1. Oh no, They must have changed it :( Maybe cause it's now available here? I'm not sure, sorry! When I bought it I was lucky enough to get it shipped for free. They do sell them at David Jones now though! The price difference might be worth buying it here since the exchange rate isn't too good and you;d have to consider tax and shipping costs too. Hope that helps!
