But, it's very pretty and I'm sure many will love it.

I love saggy bags so this is good news to me.

Would love to see modeling pics....

LINK TO EBAY AUCTION

Definitly inflated by over $500....and someone has actually placed a bid already. :blink:

Here are pictures - hope you can see them! The leather on my bag is more pebbled and raised, whereas some others seem smoother or more wrinkly. I love it. I have it partially stuffed here with extra paper to help it keep its shape, otherwise it caves in oddly and looks smaller.

Thanks for the modeling pics!! I was worried that it would be a bit small- but it looks perfect on your shoulder! Gorgeous!

thank you SO much for modeling pics!!

can i ask you what the approximate dimensions of the bag are??

i was tracking that in ebay and i was so surprised someone actually bid.. well i guess the seller made a profit. the buyer hopefully won't realize that she overpaid and just enjoys the bag lol

Would love to know the difference in measurements/size between the coco and coco mini if in fact there are two sizes.

You're welcome! I'll have to measure it to be certain (I don't trust my measuring skills), but if you don't mind a truly rough guess I'd say the length is about 12", height about 8", and width about 7-8". I haven't heard anything about a mini coco, but personally I wouldn't want one smaller than this. When stuffed full it's a medium-sized bag, and when it's rather empty it caves into a small-medium one.

I'm also curious about what others think about the leather variations - any preferences with smooth vs pebbled, larger pebbles vs smaller ones, mismatched pieces vs. homogeneity. They're all beautiful and unique. I contemplated a different one but went with this one instead.

I think those are the dimensions of the mini. That's why I was worried it would appear mini. But I think it's the perfect size.

Saranga...I agree with you in that I think they are both one in the same, however I was totally confused by the response from Shop Jake..

Quote:

We are sold out of the coco, but we are pre-selling the coco mini.
9 x 13 x 9.5 which retails for $850. Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks,
Bennett
