I snagged this beauty at the outlet yesterday. The gold / brass hardware has me debating keeping it. I never go for that color hardware. I know it's personal preference. However, for the price I couldn't leave her behind. I knew I would not use their chain strap that came with it because I find them to be uncomfortable. I went through straps of various bags and finally landed on what I think works best, the yellow strap fromView attachment 3926180 View attachment 3926181 View attachment 3926182 my flax duffle. I would really appreciate your thoughts on if you think this strap works with the bag. Thanks much in advance!
Looks great with it!

Love it and the strap looks great. I believe they released these a couple years ago....I think it was part of the same collection my patchwork Dinky is from. They did quite a few patchwork 24s then that I’m sad I missed out on! Enjoy!
 
Thank you! I don't think the different metal colors where the straps will attach Will bother me. I got a multi color metal bag charm that I planned to use to tie it all together.
Sometimes you just need another opinion...I thank you all!

I didn’t even notice the hardware difference until you mentioned it! It looks great.

Congrats Teagaggle! I love the patchwork Dinky. I've been tracking them for some time now. The strap goes well and I did not notice the different HW. Enjoy.

Love this bag!! Flax looks great on there if you want the extra color. Otherwise I would say go with a black strap.

You know, I tried a black strap first and ironically it does not go well at all. The darker areas on the top and bottom corners are not black, they're actually navy. When you put the black strap on, it definitely shows that they are navy. The only real black areas are in some of the more detailed patches. In my opinion, not enough black to pull the black off well. Maybe I'll take a pic tomorrow with the black strap and post it. Right now, I'm happy with the flax. The only other color that I obviously would go would be orange, but I don't have a strap to match with that. Once again, I wish Coach would sell straps (regular, not the statement thicker ones) individually. They'd make a killing!

Ah gotcha. I wish they sold thinner straps too. Thick straps like that don’t work well with smaller bags for me.
 
I got this beauty from my wonderful husband for Christmas. I so love this colour.
I really want a chain strap for it, but I’m not sure how the gunmetal finish would look against the black copper. Gold seems like it would be too much of a contrast. I’m hours from a store so popping in to look isn’t very easy. Anyone have any opinions?View attachment 3928339
I ordered the Kelly green clutch and It came with a black copper chain strap. Did you try calling to see if they were available separately? I can't remember if they were, but it's possible there's one in JAX.

I have actually been looking at that to rob the chain, but my husband may take me out back after everything I got for Christmas lol. I feel like I did see a black copper chain on its own a few months ago when I started lusting over this dinky. Does Jax sometimes have things that are no longer on the website? I wonder if it makes a difference if I’m in Canada. I did talk to one store closest to me and they said they only had gold left and that was all they could offer.
But thank you, I will try and give them a call and see what they say.
Yes, Jax does have things not on the site. Usually low inventory or past season is available, but not online.
Or tell your husband you're buying for the chain, but are selling the clutch lol. You could list on eBay or similar since those clutches don't normally have the chain, no buyer will miss it :) and you get your chain.

I think the gunmetal one would be fine with your black copper dinky though.

Good luck.

I saw black copper a bit ago and noticed only gold in the last few weeks. I don't need one but keep wanting to order one....in case I need one! The price is right so no need to purchase a bag with one. I'd try JAX because there are often things still available or I sometimes call a larger store like one in NYC and can usually find what I need.

Received my Cherries dinky from Nordstrom.com for 50 percent off. It is brand new and not a return which is the good news but I thought it would come with the leather chalk strap with glitter edge paint and not the chain and leather strap. I already have other dinkies and they all have the same strap. While beautiful, the chain strap is uncomfortable. Oh well, still pleased to get my hands on this beautiful dinky!
