Ok, so with the new Kristin line just coming out, I thought I would start a thread where we can share our beautiful Kristin items!!! The other thread was getting a bit long, but you can find all of the relevant info regarding style number, price, dimensions, and colors here:

This line was intended to a lightweight leather line, and with the size of the bags and hardware, IMO Coach succeeded at what they were driving at (large leather bag with a lot of hardware that's not backbreaking), without making the leather look sleazy thin. The thickness of the leather is really about that of the Madison line. Personally, I'm not a fan of the heavy glaze on the leather, or the bolded hangtag, though. To me these aspects cheapen the look of the bags, and sadly there seem to be only two options at this point...big or small! They also lack structure because there's no binding. It is interesting to note that that at its widest point, the tote version is a bit larger than Gigi!! Not as heavy, though! Hopefully with the 2010 expansion of the line, we will see more style and size options.
I will start with my totes (14214), matching purple wallet (43294, there is no coral wallet at this time), and then my colorblock flap (14221).
And as a teaser for y'all....croc embossed tote to follow shortly!! This one can be seen in Meg's PB exclusive, though.
I hope that everyone will add photos of all of their pieces so that hopefully we can show all of the items in this line.
Have fun guys!!!
