You only need to look at a red carpet to see MK bags – or at least the monogrammed logo – everywhere. Founded in New York in 1981, the label’s bags have become a go-to for many fashion-lovers. And they don’t come cheap, with some of the brand’s more popular styles costing hundreds of pounds.

But while bargain hunters often head to TK Maxx to spot MK bargains, it’s usually bags from the current season that are on sale at the discount retailer. But now fans of the label can snap up a Selma bag and Sophie shoulder bag for PS230, which is a huge reduction on the original price of both.

The deal applies to the new season bags, which have been designed by Ashya Cimone and Annece Longland as an ode to exploration. They combine MK’s signature logo motif with West African weaving techniques that have spiritual and historical significance, says the duo.

But beware of fakes, which are becoming more common. If you’re buying a leather bag, make sure the stitching and the “MK” logo match in color – as well as the metal hardware on the clasp and strap. You should also look for surface dying, where the bag is dyed a darker shade than its outer leather, or for pinprick holes in the bag’s inner leather. MK bag sale in uk
