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 :smile:

I'm in the same predicament having ordered 2 bags and only planning on keeping 1. Tough decisions ahead lol
What phone do you have? The Soho easily fits an iPhone 7 or X. If I can't easily get my iPhone in and out of the Saddle 17, that's a deal breaker. It's plenty wide enough at the bottom but it depends on the width of the opening. I had intended to put my phone in the front compartment, a small wallet, keys, and small pouch with other essentials in the middle section. If the phone doesn't easliy slide in the front, I think I'm done.

Does anyone have this bitty size, and does it work at all for you?

It's called OnePlus 5, similar in size to iPhone plus. I need it to fit horizontally. I can fit in the 1941 clutch with the skinnier case, not the OtterBox though.
 
B63D6992-4B5C-4496-A906-2FFF27E76DB2.jpeg Quick pic of my new Saddle Saddle 23. I retured the original last week due to a wonky back panel (professional leathman term. I swear. Google it :cool:)

This new one is perfection! I know it’s nothing too out of the box - but I adore the classic richness of the burnished saddle.

This new gal will rotate with my coming Rogue Utility as my weekday go-to’s this fall/winter. Burnished Grey Saddle, Saddle Dinky, & Flax Dinky popping in as needed. We shall see as the rest arrive...

Full reveal coming in the Mini Reveal thread once they all come in (and in proper lighting! UGH. This lighting is horrible but I couldn't resist)

Shout out to @AntRay23 for all the help!

Beautiful! I have the Saddle 23 in Burnished Butterscotch (which reminds me more of a medium tan...very different than my Butterscotch Rogue) and it is such a great little crossbody. I am often tempted to add another colour as they are so great but the size means I get limited use with it as is (mostly my cat walking bag!) and so I just can’t justify it.
 
Beautiful! Mine doesn't get here until Saturday :sad:
I agree with the interior, I was hoping for the burgundy color like what's inside the violet bandit.
Did your purple saddle bag arrive? What do you think? Does yours say "genuine glovetanned leather" under the flap? I ordered one in chestnut too from the cyber Monday sale so I'm curious if they just didn't stamp the link bags.

Probably not keeping the chestnut one as I also ordered the Dylan with link strap. Have to see both first. Purple saddle is already wrapped and under the tree :)

It arrived but I haven't opened it up yet. Been dealing with health issues with my grandmas and now my kids and I picked up a cruddy cold. I will let you know once I get it out though!
