So frustrating about the price change!! I’m trying to ignore it lol Although I see it is finally sold out. Surprised the navy lasted so long! Mine hasn’t arrived yet either, probably tomorrow.

When I gave my dark berry Charlie away it hadn’t started to get floppy yet, but I knew it would eventually and it definitely would have annoyed me lol My rust and tan signature is much more structured. I think because the front and back panels are layered and the sides are smooth leather. It always felt way more solid than dark berry. I loved the color of the dark berry but I don’t really miss her that much.

I just noticed Cassie in navy sold out as well. I have got to stop looking at the FOS. I've got the two new bags coming and that's more than enough for spring and summer with everything else I already own. I'm excited to see your bag. Mine has been delayed to next week due to severe weather conditions.

I'm glad to hear your Charlie is holding up well. My cadet Charlie has this odd wave in the leather of the front section. I have never carried much in it, so it much be the construction. I love it because of the pink crystals but I'm not buying another in the regular size. I wasn't really attached to my dark berry Charlie, especially as I have a beautiful Kate Spade Lottie in plum pebbled leather and it's stunning. I also had a burgundy Mercer but I don't carries the berry colours as much as black, browns and navy, so I sold the Mercer and Charlie. One is enough.

I feel like there has been a bit of silver hardware creeping in to some of the newer Coach styles! I like that it seems to be more of a softer silver and not as bright and shiny. Brass / Gold is my fav but I do love some of my older Coach bags that have brushed nickel.

I love the Taupe Cassie with silver. It looks really fresh and clean.

That is a very pretty combination, the taupe with silver.

I thought I should use my silver charms on my bags with darker hardware like my mineral Mercer, metallic blue Charlie and embossed Sophia, rather than buy more bags to "go with" my charms. I'll take a few photos if I try them out this weekend. Besides, I've got my eye on a bunch of gold hardware charms at Coach for this most recent PCE. There's an orchid tearose, a tearose charm I need for my Dinky bags and a hibiscus tag for my rehabbed Rambler. I'm also considering the multi -blue feather charm for my Cassie-- when it gets here.

My poor step daughter is super sick right now, they aren't sure what's going on. Please keep her in your thoughts.
Also me, my daughter, and my son. He's cutting 4 teeth at once and keeping us all up. Medicine, cold wash cloths, and the wooden spoons aren't working for him the way they did wonders for my daughter. They're being difficult and it's making me so sad to see him in pain. Last time he was hurting this bad he was in the NICU having a hard time breathing and it's giving me severe anxiety seeing him like that.
Bleh, my husband needs to move back home. Sorry for rambling. :sad:
Please keep us in your thoughts. ♥️

On a lighter note though, I have found myself in a web of Coach bag charms and oh. my.
I wasn't aware there were so many adorable ones. My three year old wants the Minnie Mouse that looks like she's in full angry roller derby mode. Lol

Sorry everyone is sick. Sending healing thoughts. I too love charms and have a huge collection. I have so much fun deciding what charm to dress my current bag up with.

Nice find! I used to have one of those but I never found anything to use it for. I'm looking forward to seeing your new things. Then you can relax on the beach, surrounded by your new things, and take a rest from buying.

My phone fits in it well, so I may just use that when I’m strolling with the dogs and baby stroller?

Thank you. ♥️
And as for the charms, I have a feeling I'll end up having a huge collection at one point or another. The Disney collection is calling out to me but the floral ones and rexy ones are absolutely adorable as well. There are way too many out there to decide! Lol

@whateve do you have any charms from the Disney collection? I'm dying for Thumper. Lol
There is also a cream colored one with a bouquet of beautiful flowers and "Coach Leather wear" on it that I'm wanting.
Is it blasphemy to add one of those beauties to a vintage Coach? Lol

I have Thumper and the metal Dumbo charm from the original full priced collection, not the current factory collection. At one time I would have bought the entire collection but now I'm trying to be more selective. I have way more charms than bags, which is kind of crazy since I only need one charm per bag, and some of those I have don't really go with any of my bags.

I don't have the floral bouquet but I think I know which one you are talking about. It isn't blasphemy to wear them on vintage Coach. I put charms on some of my vintage bags. It just depends on whether I think it looks good. There are some antiqued brass charms, possibly from older collections, that I think look great on vintage bags. I really like some of the charms made 10 to 15 years ago. They were generally smaller but more detailed. It annoys me when charms don't have anything interesting on the back. In one case, I attached two charms back to back so it would look good no matter which way it turned.
