Wow I just got my MJ bag. Nordstrom delivery is impressive as tracking said delivery would be tomorrow. So here it is! I'm iffy.. I love the color and the design! It's the perfect metallic gray! I'm finding the hardware noise annoying though. The way the handles are attached to the bag is by two loose pieces of triangular metal rings and every time I lift the handles those pieces make a noise upon contact. Not sure if this is a deal breaker. I have the Coach fancy metallic gray kisslock bag but I wanted one that I looked way more casual and carefree as in not high maintenance. Also this bag has no feet. Construction is great. Leather is sturdy on the body and holds the shape. However the top curved leather that the zipper is attached to is soft. This bag really makes me think of a modern version of the vintage Coach Broadway satchel! Blergh.. I think I have to sadly return this beauty and buy my boys clothes/shoes with the credit.

I am honestly not crazy about the MJ bag. I think I like so many Coach ones better. I would return if you are not loving it. You have a lot of beautiful bags.

I think if you aren't totally in love, you should return.
 
It’s a shame to see bags being sold for twice the price of Coach but with so many quality issues. Is the Page 27 the one with the small flap going down the middle?

It has the large turnlock on the front! Whenever I use this bag I just want to hug it [emoji23]

And my replacement chain finally shipped! I forgot about it and then got the shipping email!

It’s a nice metallic imo. But if it’s already bothering you, it should go back. I had bought the rainbow strap from coach that had the links in with different colors and every time I moved it would squeak. It drove me nuts. I returned it the next day. So pretty, but so impractical.

Oh no I just bought that stuff from eBay for my saddle Rogue! I haven't used it yet but I guess I'll find out soon. Do all Coach link straps squeak? Or was it specifically that one?

If you have concerns, you should return it since you seem to love your other recent purchases more. This MJ bag looks a bit like the Coach Rhyder. Nice color.
 
The Forum would be a great place to do that! I’ve been there once and shopped a bit but I was with a lot of people and didn’t want to hold everyone up so I just quickly browsed.

I can definitely appreciate other brands and I like to look like you and I know you do dabble a bit in other brands lol But I just love the bang for your buck I get with Coach. I have some issues with Coach but I don’t think I could ever quit them.

I love my Coach bags — they are my reliable attractive workhorse bags. Half of my collection is still Coach. I am not really interested in other contemporary brands (especially MK, due to my boy toy, lol).

[emoji23] I rarely look at other contemporary brands. I do occasionally look at LV, I can see myself eventually owning a LV bag. I also would like a Chanel flap bag because I like the history but I just can’t bring myself to even consider purchasing lol

Maybe a long lost distant Aunt will pass away and leave me her vintage Chanel’s haha!
