I love the two Phoebes I have (black violet and pintuck grey birch), but am so disappointed that they've been replaced by the inferior Edie (which I had high hopes for, she just didn't live up to my expectations). I had my eye on the gold Phoebe for a long time and was hoping to get it on sale, but when they took them out of the Coach stores once they got their fall inventory in, I panicked. I had to have the gold Phoebe, even if cheapo me had to pay full price!! So they special ordered it for me. The leather is so scrumptious, so much nicer than the newer bags, imo. I looooove it! Beautiful metallic color without being gaudy. I like that it's actually more bronze than gold.
While I was picking up my Phoebe from the store, the black mini duffle with grommets caught my eye. Hmmm...I was going to a baseball game the next night and had been wanting a bag to fit my wallet and a few other items for such events. This would be perfect! I decided to get it since they would price match Macy's.
I took it to the game and my little Bleecker mini duffle sat nicely on my lap the whole time without being in the way. It was not too small where I could barely fit my necessities, and not too big where I feel like I'm carrying the kitchen sink. It was just right - smaller than my usual purses, but roomy and lightweight. I ended up doubling the strap, but like that it could be worn crossbody as well.
I loved it so much, I decided to order another from Macy's. I went out of my comfort zone and got the purple iris. I'm not one to carry bright bags usually, but this is one gorgeous purple and will be a fun bag to carry when I want a pop of color without investing too much in a bag I may not wear that often. And since you had to get two items to get the 25% off, I also ordered the gold mini skinny which happened to be on sale too.
I want to add that my items from Macy's arrived packaged beautifully. I didn't know what to expect as I'm spoiled with how nicely Coach packages their items, but I was impressed.
One more thing. I have a problem. Even though I knew I had to get the purple iris, it was a touch decision as the grey and the brindle are beautiful neutrals. I'm actually considering getting another while I can get it on sale (since Coach doesn't do PCEs anymore). First question, grey or brindle? Second question, now or wait? Addendum to my second question, do you think I'll find it on sale again? I don't get to the outlets much so don't really want to wait too long...
If you made it this far, thanks for letting me share my story.
And here are my new purchases, the color is a little off, sorry.
