I've been drooling over this purple link saddle bag for a while now and with 30% off I finally took the plunge. Love it. My only complaint is I wish the lining was something other than this honey honey color, but I guess now I'm just being too picky.
Here it is - I also put it next to the violet color Crosby so that you can get an idea of the two different shades of violet... and then a family picture of my saddle bags.

Wow! That bag is awesome! Congrats!

Awesome bag!
Maybe a stupid question, where did you find that bag? I didn't see in store.

Originally someone on the forum posted a picture, can't remember which thread. I sent the picture to my SA and he's been keeping me updated since early September with quantity available. It's not in store and I'm not sure when/if it will be.

There's also a melon and a chestnut one with link but no snakeskin so may be less $... not sure if they are in USA or not, but are on coach.uk. really tempted to add another...

How long is the strap? Is it the same length as the regular saddle bags?
TIA
Ordering mine next week! [emoji847]

Hi, I only tried on quickly, but it seemed just as long. I didn't look at what adjustment hole it was on. It is now wrapped and waiting to go under the tree so I have to wait until Christmas to use :(

Is the 30% off going through next week? Just don't want you to miss the extra discount.
 
I bought the 1941 Red Saddle 17 today when it appeared on the site. I bought the Soho Crossbody last week but was a bit disappointed that it was a colourblock version. I don't intend to keep both and suspect that the 17 size might look ridiculously small on me, but I couldn't resist it.

Once it arrives (assuming it doesn't get cancelled), then I'll have to decide which to keep. :smile:

It is a nice looking bag, just too small for me. I need to at least fit my phone in a bag. I've been tempted by that Soho :)

I'm in the same predicament having ordered 2 bags and only planning on keeping 1. Tough decisions ahead lol

So pretty! I didn't realize it was colorblocked with a black bottom. I love that primrose peeking out. It would have been perfect if they had made the lining primrose.

What is it colourblocked with? They have zero pictures of the side of the red bag!!

[Edit] Ah, never mind, I missed my chance. It's now sold out.

Agree about the lining. They must have had a lot of that honey color leftover or something so used it to line purple saddle. The black part is also contrast stitched with yellow vs light purple on the rest of the bag.

The strap and the sides are Oxblood. I like it a lot, but I was looking for red only.

If the Saddle 17 looks ridiculously small (and it might), I may end up keeping the Soho and returning the Saddle in store. I really do like the Soho; it's comfortable on and I can fit a small trifold wallet inside without any bulging at all. The opening of the Saddle may be too small to be functional for me even though the increased depth would be nice.
