Oh good Lord...this is a beauty! Now I need to think about this one...dang! I have used my red a lot & I think this leather does "give" as you use it. Give it some time!

It is very lovely and a color I dont see often. It's the first 1941 piece I've gotten home. I can't believe how buttery soft the leather is too. I know I'll get use out of her as I do tend to favor my small bags.
Love it!! I have a Flax Dinky and LOVE the color. Hope you enjoy!

My Black Soho arrived last night. It's screaming for a fun bag charm but I love her. I'm glad I didn't go for the Chestnut link as I think it's too close to the Vermilion link for my collection.
Two pics with different lighting.
And thus we wrap the Great Coach Shopping Jag of 2017...
It's becoming a problem for many of us...My Bourdeaux bag shipped - looks like I’ll soon be the proud owner of 3 of these bags

I just got the Soho but also have a nolita 24 and a couple of the 22. The nolitas don't have a shoulder strap. I do have a dinky chain I can attach but it is HEAVY. The 24 is the most close in size and has an outer zipper. I can MAYBE fit a little more in my 24 than the soho. The 22 is quite a bit smaller than the soho and has no outer pocket. I see it as more of a pouch and less of a purse. The nolitas do have inside card slots as well as another open pocket inside that fits my cell phone where as the Soho does not have card slots.I've been eyeing one of these but kinda-sorta like the Nolita 22 as well. What would make you choose a Soho over something that is quite similar in style like that wristlet family?
I took a couple quick photos before going off to bed. Hope this helps, let me know if you have other questions!
Ugh, and after writing all this I realized the small nolita is a 19! So disregard basically everything I said lol! Though I'd have to imagine it's a bit bigger than 19, but still smaller than the 24.

IMO I think the Nolita wristlets are underrepresented! They're quite useful, as I've discovered from owning a few.
Reasons to like over the Soho:
1) The "polished pebbled" versions come with a chain strap (some of the newer designs are completely removable on both ends, whereas older versions are only 'hookable' on one end or other). The shiny hardware can really dress up an outfit, especially if it's gold on darker color leather. It really pops! I love silver hardware too, no bias. It's all about leather/hw color combo.
2) Like @OhHelloDoll mentioned, there are interior pockets: either 2 cc slots and/or slip pocket. The larger sizes (22, 24) have an exterior zip pocket, which I personally happen to like. I noticed many Coach fans complained about a zip pocket being on the front with the logo (24), so it appears Coach redesigned the 22 with the zip pocket being on the back (and making length/height adjustments). I appreciate that a fashion house listens to its consumers (just assuming, lol).
3) Again, as @OhHelloDoll stated, the Dinky chain/leather strap or any other strap (with smaller hooks) can be used to use the Nolita as a crossbody. Yes, it's a small bag only for essentials, but IMO it carries more than the Rogue 17 or 1941 clutch wristlets (with flap).
4) My favorite feature about the Nolita wristlet is that if you buy the glovetanned versions (only available in size 19), the interior is FULLY lined in scrumptious LEATHER! It's the same buttery leather used in the Dinkies that feel like lambskin! I love this! The very unfortunate downside is that they don't make this version any larger than the 19!! My hope in posting this is that Coach reads this and offers a 24 in full leather!
Concerns about the Soho:
1) It has beautiful glovetanned leather exterior with a removable strap. I like the variations on the strap like the multi-color linked leather or mini tea roses, for those who want options. Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of the canvas interior. I'd rather feel excited to see/feel the buttery interior of the Nolita for the price.
2) As mentioned on page 6, I'm very concerned about the durability of the strap ends ("push-pins"). If I remove/insert so many times, I'm afraid it'll weaken the springs. Additionally, if you pack a lot in this small size, it can weight down the strap and that worries me too with regard to the aforementioned strap ends.

CSalt is very on point too with all this, especially about them being underrepresented here! I just want to add that I only own a couple in pebbled leather and coated canvas, but I feel like I can "stuff" my Nolitas more that I'll be comfortable doing with the Soho. I feel the shape will start to show too many bulges, but that may be due to the material difference.
I really like the way they did the new Nolita in the smooth leather and without the hardware tag stuck on the middle of the purse. If you like the Nolita I can't really talk you out of it and say the Soho is better. They have their differences, but I don't think one is better than the other when you take it all in.
You just did me in - I ordered two Nolita 19s - one in Primrose and one in Flax. While I don't want to grow my bag collection at this point, I did plan to add a few SLGs this year. I recently ordered the LV Mini Pochette and ended up returning it because it was so small and I couldn't get behind the price point ($360 Canadian) given that I intended to use it solely as a catch all in my larger purses. If it had been large enough to fit my phone, I might have kept it since it would have been a nice clutch for going out for dinner. Given it's size though, I personally thought it was too expensive for the purpose I had in mind.
Not all of the Nolita 19s are lined in leather; I just went through the site carefully to find the ones that are. Better yet, the two I selected have 'Coach' embossed into the leather but don't have the metal 'Coach' plaque attached to the front. I much prefer branding to be as subtle as possible.
I've been carrying the Hay trifold wallet since I got it last summer; I got the Flax Nolita to pair with it in larger bags and hold the variety of loose items in my larger purses (portable battery, inhaler, tape measure, purse hook, personal hygiene items, etc).
I bought the Primrose trifold wallet on sale last week to go with the Steel Blue Rogue, so I got the Nolita to go with that and serve the same purpose.
I'm a lot happier with an $87.50 price tag (less *bates cash back, no less) than I was with $360. They're also large enough that I could use them as clutches if I was so inclined (although I doubt it). I'm a large bag girl at heart, so these will be great and make transitioning from one bag to another even easier.
Better still, I used a birthday cheque to buy them (thanks, Dad).
I have a Brick Nolita (leather lined with glitter edgepaint!) arriving today!!! So excited. I didn't think there were many fans until this series of posts.
NO IDEA what the interior lining colour will be. It'll be a surprise. Really hoping it's oxblood, though, as that's what was used inside the Brick passport cover.

I almost ordered that as well to go with my 1941 Red trifold wallet (which is lined in Oxblood). If you have any red items, can you let me know if they look good together? I know it's a bit silly to care whether the SLGs in my bags are complementary colours, but it is what it is.

First off, happy b-day! There's something that draws me to the 'primrose' color in glovetanned leather (which tends to lean more gray than the pebbled versions)... and I'm not a pink kinda gal! It's beautiful in the GT leather (probably due to a hint of violet). I had to pass on the Rogue in the same color though because in pebbled it's a bit brighter and too pink.
I'm looking forward to possible reveals, especially how you pair your SLGs with your bags (I'm a big bag lover too
). Definitely a bargain buy compared to LV (I see you grabbed two!), both in sale price and size/construction.A bit off topic, do you have to wait 60 days for cashback to come in from Coach purchases? or do you guys get them as soon as your items ship? I don't have issues with other businesses, but with Coach I never receive my CB, strange!
