Okay kinda considering this my shoulder strength is fairly good it’s just crossbody that is a nightmare

Boring black lol but no stains, color transfer and will not show wear as easily over the years

Big enough for a light sweater in the summer and even so to pack one for DGS

Epic leather it’s Roots lol

Awesome priced like actually would be fully + covered by sales funds

Beautiful Prince leather, HS! Looks like a great addition to your handbags!
 
I LOVE the coin purse!! I’ve always loved coin purses like that with the kisslock, such a vintage feel to it.
Thanks, BBG! I remember the outlet used to carry some larger coin purses but this one is quite lovely with its thick leather and the detail. I also like the pale metallic pink coin purse with all the tiny flowers and gems, but one is enough and this one suits me just right.

OK here is my random purse thought of the day. It is hard to resist buying bags when you start buying a lot for a period of time. I think I have to approach it as follow — my purse-resisting “muscle” (for a lack of a better word) must be trained to be strong or at least back to normal (lol). Like if you break your leg, it gets weak and needs to slowly be trained back to normal function. So that’s what I need to do. I will start slow and go a month at a time so no buying bags for me in March. It’s hard to remember but outside of TPF, our/my level and frequency of bag-buying is not the norm. Anyone who wants to join me (after receiving your already bought goodies) is welcome to do so.
I love this! I used to collect fountain pens and leather planners, but very slowly over years, and then I realized I have my favorite pens I use all the time, and favorite planners and I was done. I hope I feel that way about purses and SLGs soon! :) I feel like I'm getting there. I have 3 long wallets and one small wallet and feel done there.
 
The good sales/deals are a killer for me. Easier for me to resist on FP bags.
There's usually a bit of a run of sales at Coach for the next few months. After this PCE they sometimes have a promotion around Mother's Day and then the SAS will begin in June possibly as it has the past year or so, so that's a lot of sales. I have three boutiques relatively close to me so whether that's good or bad.....I'm more reluctant to buy at the Outlet unless it's a really good deal (exchange) and FOS deals are harder for me to purchase with the exchange and shipping costs, so I can resist those a little better.

I almost ordered an AW bag and while looking at that I found a really cute Coccinelle bag plus the Furla candy satchel in fuschia. All three together on sale were less than $550! But I ordered the metallic smoke box @carterazo. It was the last one at NM and my SA couldn't order it. I don't know why Coach doesn't have something in stock that's not exclusive to NM. Now I have 3 bags coming my way and none are PCE elligible.

My SA thinks I Will love the metallic Crystal embellished 24 but I'm not so sure. Anyone seen that in person? I should only keep one out of three and I can't decide what I should keep :facepalm: View attachment 3993577
These are all very pretty!

I find black bags so classy! I love color, but if I had to pick just one bag, it would be black, and I wouldn't be too sad. I used to be a one black bag at a timer! Do you love it? Are you able to try it on?
 
That is adorable! really like it my daughter loves kisslocks is it expensive??
Thanks, HS. It was $200, so quite expensive in my mind. But lovely pebbled leather and the heart with sequins is a beautiful detail. There's four card slots on the inside and I can carry coins on one side and bills on the other. Each kiss lock has pretty stones set into the top. I will use it as a small wallet and have some fun with it!

You got some great items! Pic when they arrive. Loving that fob. What bag do you think you’ll use it on? So you loving the crossbody clutches now or what?!? Lol
Yup, yup I love the crossbody clutches! Remember I was talking about getting one in every color when I got the star rivets one? Guess what I am going to be buying during the next SAS! [emoji16]

I plan on using both the fob and the pouch with the tearose turn lock camera bag. That fob is going to be purse hopping as much it can. Love the size too. Not too big and not too small.
 
Price is my major problem! When something is cheap, I can't resist. It is such a thrill to get something for a great price. On the other hand, I have problems spending lots of money on any one thing. I can spend lots of money on lots of things so it adds up to the same amount, but I feel like I'm getting more since I have many items to show for it. Since I don't have much self control when it comes to purses and fobs, the only thing that saves me is being cheap!
I can totally understand your thinking. I feel like that during a sale such a Coach promotion or if I'm at the outlet. I can get lots of things for a relatively good price overall. That's fun. Who doesn't love a great deal?

But sometimes, I think I am the opposite. I think I would rather have one special item than a bunch of things. When I carry one of my LV bags, I'm really pleased I spent the money to buy a beautiful item I'm really happy to have and carry. It's a decision I'm satisfied with and still feel that way. I try to buy these items associated with a special occasion or work accomplishment so I can save up for them and space them out. That feels good.

I've thinned my Coach items now so I'm very happy with what I own. I feel like I have a good assortment of styles, although limited colours which is why I'm fishing for a pink or blue bag for spring. But I'm trying to apply my LV thinking (limits on bags and SLGs) to Coach to reduce the number of pieces I'm acquiring because there are so many pretty choices out there for us right now.

Did I read earlier you were thinking of moving on to another brand? I feel that way sometimes, maybe even often. But I would find it hard to cut off my ties with Coach. I'll need to think about all this further.

I'm not moving on to another brand, but I'm looking at other brands, particularly premium brands, to add to my bag collection. I have one coming tomorrow! I don't plan on leaving Coach though. I feel like one of those tearose camera bags will be in my collection sooner or later.

I've gotten really good with SLGs, with the exception of keychains and purse charms. I have sold most of my extra wallets and wristlets. There are still a few I should sell. It feels good to get a lot of use out of one wallet before I get another. I've been using the same coin purse for years, and am just now considering replacing it.

Yes, you sound like me. I'm looking at other brands (well, just LV with some more Roots thrown in) but I am trying to be more selective in my Coach purchases. I like the navy tearose camera bag you're looking at as well. Based on my experience with the KH camera bag, I'm not sure if I want one that has a little less depth. I love the tearose clasp, it's so unique.
