The colette bag looks soooooo much better in real life than all the pics I find online. The yellow is great in the smaller colette and as for the peanut/nude and white that's gorgeous!
myluvofbags did a mini reveal of that exact nude/white/peanut Colette (including modeling shots) here...

I totally missed it! Thank you!
And wow, it's so gorgeous. I guess I'm getting both of them!!!
Here's the medium in black!love the leather on this. It seems like it will scratch easily though, does anyone have that same issue? Otherwise it's a functional size and it's a nice change from my medium selma. Fits less than the medium selma but it's not too small.
I wouldn't mind the larger size too...
How is your Colette going? Is the leather prone to scratches? And have u bought the large as well?
I only used her once so far and i definitely have to be careful since the leather is sensitive. I did get the large and I returned the medium. I posted a mod pic in the Colette clubhouse with the large. It's a great bag though and I highly recommend it! The medium was just too small for my needs.
How do u compare the interior capacity of the medium Colette to the medium Selma messenger?
I believe the interior capacity of the M Colette is a lot smaller than the M Selma.
But let's wait for the ladies who own both or seen them IRL to confirm.
Just look at the measurements online. MK measurements are usually wrong so I always check Zappos.
medium Colette = 8 x 8 x 4
medium Selma messenger = 9 x 7 x 4.25
Almost the same size.
Thanx guys. I didn't think it was actually that small. I won't receive my mine till next week. From the videos on YouTube, it looks an ok sort of size, not too small. But it seems like it is really small. Let wait and see..another disappointment on its way I guess.
I wouldn't say it is super small, but it was definitely smaller than what I wanted it to be cuz I wanted a work bag. If you're just using it as a crossbody bag then I think it's the perfect size. I think it holds a bit more than the medium selma messenger. I didn't have both at the same time but I got my selma messenger right after I returned the medium colette. I think the medium colette looks so much more luxurious than the large colette but I would prefer to wear it only crossbody because it was too inconvenient when I held it in the crook of my elbow and it looked too small carrying it like a briefcase. It is also deeper (taller) than the messenger so you can fit taller things in there like maybe a water bottle.
Can you still exchange it if you feel like it's not a good size for you?
I can send it back to Bloomingdales but can't buy the larger one for 25% off. Will have to pay $550AUD for the larger one! I paid 350 for the smaller one including shipping to Austrslia
Ok guys medium colette U can fit full size wallet (just!) glasses case and tissues! Or small wallet would be better. I much prefer my large as I can fit my phone charger , makeup bag , tissues, full size wallet and even a thin jumper if needed!!
