I have decided to get a double swagger but am obsessing and obsessing over which one to get during the sale - I am going nuts - I have limited funds and want to make the right decision - am I the only one?
Anyone indecisive like me?

I totally understand your challenge. I purchased the Double Swagger in Apricot. I loved that color since the bag was first release, so much more than Tobacco and Navy. However, now that Coach has release Beechwood and Chambray, I'm really trying to keep myself from purchasing another color. Buy the color bag that you like the most and will go best with your wardrobe. However, now people just wear any color purse with their wardrobe as a pop of color. I do that a lot myself as well.
No, I debated between 3 wristlet/clutch pieces before deciding on one. The price drop made me finally pull the trigger. The one I picked dropped to a price that I was very happy with.
I have done an exchange already - picked out a crossbody but then exchanged for a wallet.

I definitely give a handbag choice a lot of thought, but it truly helps to see the bags in person. For example, I just went to purchase a tote for a friend, due to the sale, and ended up with a grey tea rose Rogue 25 for my daughter as well. Nothing for me, but I did get to admire the double swagger I had considered, and interestingly found that I like it better in chambray (a lovely shade of medium blue with a bit of grey in it) than in the navy/black suede/blue-- at least for this season. I had thought I would like it better in the darker colorway. I didn't purchase it, though, as I am trying to wear, and alternate, and love the Coach bags I already have. The double swagger is a very pretty and well-constructed bag that I think looks best worn as a handbag as opposed to a shoulder bag.
Well - I like the studded prairie black on because I am a black person - and like the fact that this one is all leather and no suede. But it is the most expensive one and not sure if I would look silly with it - I am not a spring chicken anymore but love Southwestern jewelry and it kinda reminds me of it.
But I also like the chambray one because it would be a new color for me and it is an unusual blue
- but I also like the quilted ones - I like the look of the colorblock quilting- reminds me of the 70s - but white gets dirty and I am not usually a pink person - now if it was purple or turquoise I would be right on it. And not sure how durable lambskin would be
And I think the black and blue 1941 one is so classy but might be boring also....

This is the most indecisive I have ever been!! It doesn't help that my local boutique only has swagger 27s and bandits from the sale. I'm loving both quilted double swaggers and tea rose 22 dakotah. Haven't pulled the trigger though because I have only seen stock pics.
I think you will be happy with whatever choice you make. I am also attracted to that black Prairie riveted Double Swagger and have been since it first debuted online months ago. My only reservation with that one is that it has so much embellishment on it that might clash with too many of my clothes. The yellow patch, in particular, would not look good with gray, or burgundy, and the details on the bag would not work if paired with anything having a pattern or contrast stitching.
Good luck with your choice. Consider which color would work best with your wardrobe and life, and choose the bag you would wear most often, or even enjoy wearing the most.
I'm in the same boat. I pretty much ordered 1 of everything. I know I'll have to return something...hoping it doesn't get me banned from Coach :/ My biggest struggle is I love a big bag for work and a small crossbody for weekends. So I'm torn between which color I get in double swagger and which in swagger crossbody.
I'm about to order the chambray double swagger too since a generous tpfer gave me another code. That chambray looks like it will match a bunch of my novelty straps vs. the navy colorblock. Then there is the black colorblock I ordered that I feel will always stay in style! I don't really need 2 of this bag though...or do I? I'm guessing that at these prices, I won't lose too much $ if I use and then decide to sell later on down the road.
If they had a sample of everything in the store, then you may not have to buy just so you can see! Or at least something in that leather and color and at least one of that style so you can see the size. These bags are getting a little unusual in size especially that large swagger! I'd love to see it though!
Finally bought the black double swagger with prairie rivets - a big investment but I could not resist the sale - I will post a reveal when I get it!
Someone posted some comparison shots last night (I think it was @SEWDimples ) of double swagger, regular swagger (33) and rogue. The double swagger doesn't look too huge.
I'm a tote person, but it's not love for me and rogue tote. I do have the black linked one because it's just so bad a** to look at and I ordered in the heather gray. I don't think I'll keep the gray one, even though I don't have that color in my collection. I just don't like the leather as much as these glovetanned beauties! I'm hoping I can use these as a tote alternative. Weight doesn't bother me so that isn't an issue.
