Involuntary Coach ban support group

[carterazo]

For those who participated in the Oscar freebie contest, did you check on your results? I got one — Gary Oldman. So I think that takes me to 4 freebies total. (LT — can you please check when you return? Think I had 5, I used 2 in 2018, just earned 1).

I actually won all 5 I posted! [emoji126] [emoji126] [emoji126]
Waiting on @LauraTracy to come and validate our freebies! And dole out not hots! [emoji41]

It depends on how far away and how long I travel. I normally don't carry my coach. I have a Belen Echandia bag in a neutral that goes with everything. I use it specifically for travel - long trips . It can fit a lot and is made of very sturdy leather. I also recently bought a Tory Burch foldover clutch that has a full size wallet and fits all the essentials. It's my wallet, light crossbody, and dressy clutch. If I am going somewhere that will require dressing up a lot, then I have taken my tearose dinky in chalk and/or my red RM MAC in patent leather. Other times I've just travelled with my MM Zhoe in cobalt when it's just for the weekend.

My favorite travel purses are my pebbled Legacy drawstrings. They seem indestructible and are big enough to hold a water bottle and lots more. The last trip I carried my Bleecker woven hobo. I've also carried my Bal on trips when I want to impress. If I want more than one purse, I'll pack my chevron Sophia because it is nylon and won't get crushed in packing. I used to have a saffiano tote that I used on a very long trip because it is waterproof and doesn't show damage. It still looked brand new after months of use.

Those are great travel bags! I don't own a draw string bag. Yours looks like it can take any kind of beating and come out looking perfect and beautiful - thank you very much! [emoji106]
I didn't realize the Sophia is nylon. That is the prettiest nylon I've seen.

Coach loves me! I got my PCE invite in the mail today. I think everything I would want is probably excluded!

What do you want?

What do you want?

The camera bag with the rose turnlock. It's not available anymore. I'm still hoping it will come out in different colors. I might get a charm, but they are still so expensive, and I don't think I like any of them as much as those I got with the last PCE.

Don't you think it is weird that the Keith Haring bags aren't marked 1941 but the Haring shoes and accessories are?

Ah gotcha. I think it IS very weird! It is also very weird that the mail box bags that are officially Bonnie Cashin design are not called that but KH. [emoji849] I just found out the pinkish metallic mailbox is considered KH because it has little KH charms on the strap even though the whole bag is designed based on BC design.

These are so pretty — too pretty to take on trips (lol). I would be afraid to get them dirty or scuffed. I always use my nylon bags (le sportsac and bagalliini). Although this last short trip I went on, I packed a small Bbag flat in my suitcase (love how they fold flat).

It's the medium turnlock hobo. It feels larger than I imagined. I figure that it will slouch and look smaller later, but I don't want to test that theory. Also, for some reason, I thought the picture showed that it came with 2 types of leather. Nope, it's a gorgeous pebbled - which normally would be just right for me. But in my head, I thought it was different. Maybe because I just loved the three different leathers on the Faye. Also, for this color, I think I want a more lady like shape or size. The hobo is really lively, but it's not dainty. Yes, I know, sooo picky! [emoji4] [emoji12] [emoji23]

It’s good to be picky at this point given the size of our collections. I actually really like the turnlock hobo (and tried it on when it first came out a few years ago)—love that big outside pocket. But I think in the beginning of its release, the quality was not that great (I read somewhere that the front turn lock was breaking within weeks of using for some. And I think the leather is a little thinner than other pebbled leather bags out at the same time). But of course I am willing to try a black one at the right price (lol).

That camera bag is gorgeous! I hope to see more colors too.

Yes, too pretty. Especially the legacy hobo and the Bal.

[emoji23] I love your black bag focus. Has that hobo come in black? It would be a great classic to have. You would be proud of me today. I am carrying a black bag when I could have well carried another color. [emoji56]

It can fit a lot and is made of very sturdy leather. It's a darker color, so it won't look dirty and I can actually bear to put it on the floor of the airplane when necessary. [emoji15] I also recently bought a Tory Burch foldover clutch that has a full size wallet and fits all the essentials. It's my wallet, light crossbody, and dressy clutch. If I am going somewhere that will require dressing up a lot, then I have taken my tearose dinky in chalk and/or my red RM MAC in patent leather.

I like your idea to take a darker bag you don't mind putting on the floor! I always want to take a favorite bag though so maybe that one should be smaller and inside another bag. Having lots of choices is new so I'm figuring it out.
