Spielberg1 · Nov 11th, 2009, 11:18 PM

are there TWO sizes of this bag?

I swear the one i held today at barneys was so small!

and come to think of it, i don't remember seeing the zippers on the side either... aren't there zippers on the side?

i'm just used to big bags i guess -- i still hope he makes one twice the size of this. then ill be first on the list!

I have taken a few quick mod shots in my PJs. I wish I had the energy to get in a cute outfit like Anna, but alas, I worked all day and am pooped! Let me just say though, the perfect outfit with this bag would be a white flowy cotton summer dress (short) and flip flops! I like the idea of weary opposite style clothes to balance this bag out. Either super casual, like sweats, or hippie chic, a la a flowy dresses.

Here are some pictures for size, etc. I am about 5'6 & about 125lbs..

i knew i'd come home to this thread with an update from you littlerock! it looks A-MAZING on you! And I didn't you were wearing pajamas until I actually read your description because I went straight to looking at your pictures

I thought you were wearing tan dress pants, lol.

Isn't Coco amazing though?! I love it exactly because it can work with a casual or dressy outfit.

Do post more pictures!!!

Ladies I finally scored one!Coco with brass studs

My friend from NY will pick it up for me, and she was kind enough to use her credit card. I'll get it in desember when she goes there. I'm SOOOO Happy and cant wait for my x-mas gift to myself.

annaversary · Nov 12th, 2009, 03:44 AM

Congrats! FancyPants and what a lovely friend you have! You are going to

it! Perfect gift for yourself for the holidays

Just wondering how heavy this bag is? I've read that the newer version is lighter than the original. How does it compare to, say, Rebecca Minkoff MABs?

annaversary · Nov 12th, 2009, 03:49 AM

This bag is quite heavy.. . lol. When empty it's heavier than a Rebecca Minkoff MAB. C'mon now, all those studs on the bottom.. . yea, it's heavy alright.

annaversary · Nov 12th, 2009, 04:14 AM

That's all that I carry in my Coco and I would say that it gets pretty tiring carrying it, lol. I would not recommend carrying this bag to a trip to the mall or anywhere long time, then again it also depends on what you carry too.

reyrey · Nov 12th, 2009, 04:37 AM

Thanks for the info Anna !

I pulled the trigger and have bought it. I've been lemming this bag for a while and decided to forget about it because it had sold out everywhere and the aussie dollar was so weak against the greenback... but it seems that the stars have realigned themselves so that its now available from ShopBop who now ships free to australia and the aussie dollar is now much stronger than it had ever been before... AND my husband forgot to buy me my RM leather bag for our anniversary so he gave the greenlight for me to get this as his way of apology (as well as him not having to find my now hard to find RM bag).

i guess it was meant to be...

annaversary · Nov 12th, 2009, 04:55 AM

^ woo hoo. Congrats! Definitely meant to be

Which one did you get from ShopBop?

reyrey · Nov 12th, 2009, 05:02 AM

The original black with brass studs. I was tempted by the grey/silver studs though...

Can't wait to get it :) I only have RM bags - how does the leather compare?
