Here is the pic of chestnut saddle bag 23.
Anyone have the saddle in this peony color??? Do you know what color is on the inside? I was on the custom site thinking of adding some tea roses to it. I know it isn't as bright a pink as they originally came out with and think this one is a little more subtle. It could be fun to take out come Spring! I guess I'm dying to try the custom service with a small item so it will either be this saddle bag or a clutch. I wish the website allowed you to zoom in the flowers. It is really hard to see what they actually look like AND when on the bag. Considering there is no return allowed, you'd think they would have a zoom feature! Another frustrating system issue shopping with Coach! Below are some ideas I created. I'm leaning toward the first or last one.

I believe the inside is pink too

I have this one and yes, the color is the same as the outside.
Interesting! They don't do this often from what I've seen. I like it. And love the tea rose options @Bagmedic. This would be a fun summer bag.
I used it quite a bit over the summer as I wore lighter colors like sage, white, and tans. It’s not quite a light pink nor a dark pink so it did work out for me.
I'm just skittish on ordering it with the tea rose customization since I can't really see the tea rose details well online. I have some tea rose items and can see what some may look like but others I can't quite see the details. With no zoom online, it isn't helping! I guess I can find a retail bag on their site and zoom in on that and guess if it will look good with that pink. They don't make it that easy, to they!
My 2017 Saddle purchases - Burnished Saddle Saddle 23 & Burnished Grey 23. Love them both. This most likely completes my Saddle collection. Looking to diversify.
Got this saddle 23 at my local outlet today. I cannot figure out what color it is. It clearly is one of the original ones because it has that back pocket which I love. However, I am curious as to the actual color. It closely resembles the Primrose color coach has out right now. Opinions? I've included a pic of the inside, which is kind of a dark saddle color. I also included a pic of the tag which has the item number as a factory item but also has what I hope is the color code. I did type the color code into Google but couldn't find any actual color of it. Thanks!
Ha! When all else fails check the tags! The coach tags on the side of the bag actually list the color of the bag. It's listed as Wildflower. I must say, the leather on this bag is soooooo good. It is so soft and smushy. I feel like it's actually softer and nicer than the leather on my newer saddlebags such as the burnished ones. Has anyone felt the same?
I totally agree with this! The earlier leather used was sooooo soft, almost fluffy. It's beyond buttery and one of my earlier dinkies almost feels like it's entirely made of lambskin, inside and out. It's that soft and pillowy! Yet very durable!
The newer dinkies just don't compare and feel kinda cheap with poor finishings compared to the earlier versions. There's an evident difference in texture/quality on this past season's (winter/holiday); something was a bit off about the smooth leather (drier?), especially the leather linings. Not to mention, the heavy use of black copper for almost all hw compared to in the past (as this is cheaper than using say brass and/or gm).
Great find on your saddle bag! The back zip pocket is a nice plus like you said! I also liked 'wildflower' and thought it was an attractive color when it came out, and I'm definitely not a pink person.
I, too, thought the recent 'primrose' resembled 'wildflower' a bit but WF is more vibrant, with brighter purple tones, not overall grayish like 'primrose'. I wonder why all the recent 1941 bags have to be dusty, gray-toned colors... it's been feeling a bit drab and dreary.
