I had to return my Crosby due to the leather cracking/wearing unbelievably fast. I'm considering a pebble leather Edie or swagger, a crosshatch crosby, or croc prince st. What recommendations do you have about leather wear? I was so disappointed in my crosby having to return it. I need something that is going to wear well.

The Swagger, a classic, beautifully made bag, which will never go out of style. Coach's best bag of this season, IMO. :p
 
Of the 4, I like the swagger the best. Do you prefer a shoulder bag or a satchel? It seems like Edie is the only true shoulder bag although the other three satchels have a shoulder strap option.
 
By large, do you mean the swagger 37? I haven't seen it In person but it looks pretty big on the model on coach.com. i think a medium is good. I agree that an outside pocket would be great on the swagger. It looks like the prairie is the only one with an outside pocket. Would the Edie and Crosby be ok since they are not zipped shut so you can more easily access your cell phone? Good luck deciding.
 
I think that I might love the Sagger so much that I can overlook the outside pocket. I don't always have to keep it completely zipped.... (Maybe I'm just looking for an excuse to buy one.)

Me too! I don't usually do satchels but just wanted it so much that I said it's fine as long as it has a shoulder strap.
 
I don't think it's overly heavy but I have the 27 size (it's bigger than the teeny 20 size). The medium and the large (37) might be heavier. I have read on the forum that others think it is heavy (some even returned it for that reason). Over in the swagger clubhouse thread, post #190, I believe Jesssh said the medium weighs about 2.75 lbs empty.
 
Black is a good classic color! Nude is a good neutral but can get dirty like Jesssh said. White is gorgeous but will get dirty for sure. What other color are you thinking of?
