I officially decided to return my Saddle Bag, so I guess I cannot be a member any longer. I had to google the color carmine, I find it interesting that this is the definition, considering the inside of that bag does not match this description, It is orange and it bothered me! I think I also didn't like that the edging on the bag did not appear as vibrant as it did in the photos...I feel there was too many things going on, the lining, the edging and the stitching... Oh well can't have every bag right...I still look forward to seeing what other colors you ladies decide to get :)

"Carmine is the general term for some deep red colors that are very slightly purplish but are generally slightly closer to red than the color crimson is. Some rubies are colored the color shown below as rich carmine. The deep dark red color shown at right as carmine is the color of the raw unprocessed pigment, but lighter, richer, or brighter colors are produced when the raw pigment is processed, some of which are shown below." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmine_(color)
 
I really like these fobs but they don't come with the bag.

I know, and doesn't this one just look perfect on that bag?!
I'm right with you guys ... I saw this bag with these fobs and went straight to the website to figure out which color it was and if the saddle bags came with these fobs. I didn't think so, since I just went to FP and tried the bags on the other day ... but one can hope! I figured it was just coach tempting us with some cool thing that may or may not really be available ... :laugh: as they often do! But I would love to see those, I agree they are perfect on the bag!
 
I so totally want to love this bag...but two things hold me back: 1) the way the straps are attached to the bag, 2) the inside flap gets all wrinkled. Both aesthetically put me off.

I will take a look at the new bags when they come out in Feb...maybe something will bowl me over so much I'll put it all aside!
 
Photos of the new bag charms are posted in the "closer look at 2016 spribg bags" thread, post 258.
I love the charms as well, but by the time I put the strap in the holes that work for me, you can't see the charm. I wish the hook on the saddle was in a different spot as I love to accessorize my bags.
