Exotic black Juliette.. Her leather was just not wow lol... I just got a Molly in black instead. Her insides are not as cool .. But the outside is way Better.
 
Madison Croc Maggie in Black....Love how she looks, hates how she wears. Strap keeps falling off unless I conscientiously put one strap under the other... the soft material lining the bags makes me feel like I'm always digging to find something.
 
Maggie. Love the look and the idea of compartments, but just doesn't work for me at all. The straps don't stay on my shoulder no matter what I do. Different strokes b/c I see them all over the place....literally that and sophia are the most popular Coach bags I see, so Maggie must be VERY popular. Love the looks, though!

I have two with tags still on them and went to try them after reading your post and they do not stay on my shoulders either so I am going to return them.

The new maggie style number 21225 don't stay on my shoulder unless I twist the handles. I thought maybe it's because of the patent leather but the previous Maggie's are fine. They just hurt my shoulders sometimes when I carry them for a long time.
 
I have been using my Coach Isabelle for the past week and I am starting to not like it. I don't like the folded opening. It looks like it was rushed in the making. And when the bag slouches, this folded opening does not look attractive at all. It's weird looking. It's so plain. The opening is narrow and I hate digging in for my stuff.
Anyway, I am still keeping it because the color Magenta is gorgeous and a unique Coach color.

DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY COACH REGRET BUYS?
I know you said you don't like the look of the bag but how is the functionality? I'm normally a satchel girl but I've been thinking about getting a hobo since I haven't had one in a while. My first 'big girl job' bonus is around the corner and I'd like to buy a new bag. I love the purple Legacy duffel but the leather doesn't look like it will hold its color well so I've been considering the Isabelle instead.

With the narrow opening I feel like I'm not maximizing its functionality. It is deep with a narrow opening so it takes a lot of effort to search for stuff. Get the Lindsey or candace or a duffle in neutral color. Whatever you get let me know :)
 
I have one now that I am going to return, the acorn Criss Cross Lindsey. The leather looks like plastic to me. Just can't love her.

I was looking for the regular acorn Lindsey and the SA showed me this one. They were surprised that I didn't want it. The leather looked stiff.

The person who was told, "Your grandma would love that bag!" To me, a lot of the embroidered and "lace" type bags look grandma-ish. It's a fine line.

I have a black Mia Maggie and I love it. I put a lot in it so maybe that holds the straps down on my shoulder better. A strap does fall off once in awhile but it doesn't drive me crazy.

I don't like Isabelle's opening but I do like Lindsey & Candace. I have had duffles in the past, but I don't like the deepness anymore; I'd rather have easier access to my stuff.
 
This was a deal breaker for me. I don't mind a deep bag, but the narrow opening on this one drove me crazy.

I hated Sabrina for this exact reason. I felt like I couldn't *get into* the bag easily enough. Drove me NUTS.

Agree w/ the plum inlaid Brooke. The chain strap is not comfortable and really, it's not big enough. Plus, I bought it from FP for my birthday and literally ONE WEEK LATER it was at the outlet. I could have cried right there. Color/materials are beautiful, though.

Lastly, the Sydney flap in teal. I LOVED that bag (size, shape, COLOR, etc.), but damn that flap. Flaps are IMPOSSIBLE for me. I was bummed to let that one go, but alas, it was just sitting on my handbag shelf, all lonely and not used. Too beautiful of a bag to let it lament like that.
 
I loved the look of the gray croc embossed Madison Carry-all (the one with the chain strap and jewel charm from years ago), but I could never figure out how to wear the long single strap- I was never sure of where to put the two shorter satchel straps, which were just a little too long to let flop around. It looked messy and made the whole bag droop weirdly in the middle. I ended up gifting the bag NWT to a relative who said she loved it (I was like "Perfect! Because I don't!").
