Hey all - I saw the Laural bag IRL today. I fell in love with it. Love being able to hand carry or shoulder & the way it opens. The details are fantastic. That said, I'm trying to put more thought into my handbag purchases to avoid regrets. I have it on hold @ my store till Sunday. So, asking for opinions, bad & good, from those of you who own it or considered it & decided no.
TIA!

Hi..What color did you have put on hold?
I got to see Laural in all colors except color block about a month ago at one of my Coach stores.
I was so excited but didn't want to pay full price.
I just got Oxblood Laural with F/F discount. I contemplated Navy too but loved how Oxblood (inside and out matched.)
It is a smaller bag but so cute. I keep wanting to downsize. I love Rogues and keep looking at Rogue 25 but too small.
I love how the Laural opens and the divided space.

There is nothing wrong with a lady-like frame bag. Unfortunately, I live nowhere close to a Coach store carrying a Laural bag. I hate to pay full price, also. But, wow, do I love a good frame bag.

Do you think it holds more than the Rogue 25?

Thank you! I have Oxblood on hold. It was smaller than it appears on Coach.com, particularly in the mod shots. This was a pleasant surprise to me, mostly because it looked great when carrying it longer on the shoulder.
I think it carries the same as a Rogue 25 but in a different way. It just opens so wide. The opening is super cool, which is another thing I love about it. You can open it easily, at least partially, even when it's on your shoulder.
I probably would go for the Rogue 25 in Oxblood if you could easily wear it as a crossbody. However, I don't care for the Rogue carried crossbody. It just does not look right to me. That's just my opinion.
Sounds like I've talked myself into it, but I just want to know if there's anything I'm not considering, particularly from anybody who has it and who has carried it for a while, or at least as long as you could given it's such a new bag. Thanks again in advance!

Sorry pics aren't that great..trying to learn how to use my camera phone. Inside Laural I have a slim wallet, wristlet for my phone, mini skinny I use for coin purse and an inhaler plus gum.

Well, I picked it up. See pics...bottom has feet also. A detail I love, which is not apparent online, is the tan stitching.

I'm glad you love it! I've been using mine every since I received it. The way it opens really is so unique, usable, and convenient while still feeling secure! I might be in the minority, but I really was hoping that the interior would be in a contrasting colour. Damn the Coach website and their lack of pictures.

I love it. For a frame bag, it is a very unexpected shape. It is quite beautiful and I hope you enjoy carrying the Laural for a very long time.
