I can't make up my mind whether or not I want to get one. I already have a signature tote, but it's summery. The brown signature stripe would be perfect for the colder months, and actually, the straps fit over my shoulder better with a coat on! So it works out.

But I'm not -crazy- about it... I want it, though! I want it because it's cute, and I need a large bag for the cold months= winter. I live in New England, so we have snow and all that, for what it's worth.

So, I don't know... I liked it when I tried it on at Coach (actually, the Coach in Macys). The ONLY problem I have with it is how the C's line up on the sides! Does this bother anyone else? Don't you feel like that should be done a little differently? Maybe more lined up somehow?


And... just curious who likes it, who doesn't and why, and just hear some opinions to help me make a decision. I also feel like why wait; will I really find another quality or designer bag I'll like this much? I'm only interested in the $200 range, and can get that one off eBay for about that much.

So... just wondering what everyone thinks; it will help me make a decision. I'm a little stumped and eBay makes me feel rushed, haha.
 
I love, love, love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm saving up to buy one myself, but I want a black and silver one. Plus it sounds like your mind is already set. GO FOR IT!!!!!!! :yes:
 
I think they are cute, but I don't like how it fastens at the top, not secure enough for me. I also need more pockets than the one. But I think if it works for you, go for it! I think the fabric would be perfect for any weather.
 
Thanks so much you guys, I really appreciate hearing what others think of the bag because I am having a bit of a hard time deciding. I think I'll get it--

One thing I'm wondering though, of course you can wear it on the shoulder, but is this a hand-hend bag, specifically? I read it along the way online that it was, probably in an auction, that it was hand held.

I have a tote like it by Coach that's almost the same size and I always wear it on my shoulder, and it's also what I need.

But I never considered it as a hand-held bag. Is that true? Just curious. I know that sounds really weird to ask, but I didn't know if that's what it was intended for; to be hand held.
 
I just got the large one in the khaki/parchment combo and love it! I'll prolly use it with my leopard purseket, and use it more as a tote, especially for travel or weekend trips.

And yes it fits on your shoulder comfortably too.
 
i purchased the reversable tote in khaki w/ gold trim..it's beautiful and yes...fits great on your shoulder...i don't consider this bag to be a hand held bag.....its a great tote....i will not wear it inside out though....i don't care for the look once it;s turned inside out....
good luck!!!
 
I bought it! I found one on eBay and got the highest bid at $177.50, with a grand total of $189.70

It says it's used, but with no signs of anything so we'll see about that. I've been watching these bags, haha. I knew I'd get a deal if I just held out a little longer, and with Halloween being tonight, people are probably too busy with that (regardless of it being a Tuesday!) So I swooped right on in and got it!
