I went to check out the Borough bags yesterday, after receiving a call late last week from the SA who ordered the rust red Croc Carrie for me last month, saying their store received some and I'm free to go and check them out. I went in with full intentions of looking at the black medium Marobox, but sadly the store didn't get any in :(

I decided I'd see how I like the medium for the size, and maybe have the SA order one in for me in black Marobox if I really liked it, but I checked out the pebbled oxblood and it was :love:!

I compared it with the black pebbled for a little while, and just loved how neutral the color is. It looked great against my grey coat, a tiny bit of color but still remaining neutral--whereas the black was a little more boring.

I'm sure you've read enough good things about this bag in other threads... so let's get onto the photos!

The compartments don't bother me at all. One compartment, 5 compartments...no matter what, I need to have my stuff organized anyway! So if the bag has the compartments to organize to begin with, that's a bonus!

The back of the bag has a phone slip pocket and a larger slip pocket. Both are edged in gold so you can find the opening easier in the silky black lining!

And modeling pics...I'm 5'7" 140-ish pounds, size 6/8. The long strap was much better than expected (based on the horrible reviews of it I read on here!) because it's actually at my preferred length for shoulder bags! Of course cross-body would be a plus (and adjustable to this length) but otherwise maybe this bag would be too perfect? Maybe Coach would consider selling the long strap separately in the future, if the Borough is now its own collection...?

I will be carrying it this way a lot...I've been wanting a handheld bag of this size for awhile! This one is so simple and sleek, it's perfect as a business bag but still could be dressed down!

And some comparison photos...I don't have that many Coach bags and I think most people are familiar with the small Phoebe size so here it is:

Compared with Louis Vuitton Speedy 25:

Compared with a Marc Jacobs (regular) Stam:

And the closest to the Borough's size in my collection, which also happens to be my most used and longest lasting bag in my collection, the Chanel GST:

Hopefully these comparisons help somewhat!
 
Thanks for all the pictures. Stunning bag. I soooo love the look of this bag but find it hard to deal with compartments. I'm going to look at this post a lot! Congrats!

I am going to order this one this weekend--I was going to wait for the Marobox version in oxblood but I don't think I can wait any longer!!

Enjoy your bag!

Were you waiting for the Marobox in large?? Or medium? I thought the oxbood Marobox was only getting made in large!
