I love my glam! I have the black waxed leather Glam that was available for about 30 seconds on a FOS a few weeks ago...I got lucky. You'll have a hard time finding an actual "Glam" anymore...the new "Glam-ish line is called the Hallie Tote - similar size and shape, small differences. They make a black leather Hallie that's super similar to my bag. However, my Macy's still has some of the older version, true Glams available, so it's where you look.
To answer your questions...
1. I don't baby my bags either, and so far the waxed leather has been great. It feels AMAZING - soft and smooshy, but I don't feel the need to freak out if I have to put it on the floor. To me it looks like the new Hallies have slightly more structure, but maybe that's just because the ones I see are stuffed and on display. Mine doesn't stand up on it's own, it folds over.
2. I don't treat any of my bags so I'll leave this question to someone who is more knowledgeable.
I haven't had any worries with durability of any Coach product. As for space, this bag has it! It's a big bag, but not bulky. It lays nicely against the body and the straps are long enough for shoulder wear.
If I were to buy another, it would be the navy or tangerine waxed leather (ebay only, sadly) or a black on black siggy. I like the moonlight siggy, but not "for me", if that makes sense...
Good luck, and whatever you get, we need photos!!
Thank you Canderson22!
I am leaning towards the black waxed leather, or navy if I can find one. The new Hallies just don't do it for me, so I'm left to eBay and the like to find what I'm looking for. My closest Macy's is 2 and a half hours away and my chances of getting there before they're gone aren't looking too promising. (Work, end of school activities, and DD's soccer games have me running like a chicken with my head cut off....lol)
I know what you mean about the moonlight siggy. It was a contender as was the khaki and petal pink but I'm just not a siggy girl in a bag anyway. I am looking at the moonlight double zip wallet, which I think would go nicely with the black waxed leather.
I will most defiantly post pictures of what I get.
