Here it is! I ordered by phone Friday night and am surprised it came so quickly. CS told me I wouldn't get it until after June 15th.

It does have some nice details up close. This one was Made in France. I do find some pros and cons to this bag. I don’t usually buy a handbag site unseen.
Thank you so much for such a detailed review, photos and pros/cons! It looks like a well-made, pretty little bag. It would be great for running errands or going out to dinner. Wouldn't it be nice if it had a back pocket for the phone instead of just the front pocket. I'm on the fence about this one. I certainly don't need it, but it's very cute.

This is how big the clasp is. It has the push lock on the end. It takes a couple of seconds to open or close but I don’t think it’s anything extremely unbearable. I always feel like the PM can be a little fussy with the s-lock too. It’s a quite substantial clasp also.

I forgot to show what items comfortably fit. I don’t like to over stuff my bags. My keys, phone and sunglasses would also be in the bag too. But I would have to put my sunglasses in the soft case to fit better. The mini Pochette also fits, but it takes up more room. So it’s more of the true essentials bag. I don’t carry the mini Pochette daily so for me it’s not a big deal. Just depends on how much you need to carry. This is my first all leather bag too so I wanted it to be something useful and a little bit different than the PM. HTH! Sorry for my long rant again. I feel like I get long winded on TPF!! [emoji23]At least everyone has the same obsession on here.
Thanks ever so much the detailed pics and explanation. :smile:
Ah i get it now, so the lock has similar workings to the PM but without have to use the 2 buttons to release like on PM. I originally thought it was some sort of magnet locking mechanism.
Having just 1 larger prong lock actually might be better to close for me especially with it having a protruding bit to hold and push down. So glad the plate is hidden inside the bag so can't see all the scatrches from using the grubbin thing.
The size isn't a problem to me as I have downsized alot, only carry a rosalie coin purse as a wallet and less than half filled mini pochette and 6 ring keyholder. But to be honest I could really just take a lipstick because really that's the only thing I use from inside my Mini Pochette. The only downside is the non detachable strap. Plus I might need a couple of holes punching in. I'm 2 inch shorter than you probably fine on me crossbody at least is easy fix.
I just like how its such a nice looking compact empriente bag that can transition to night and day, casual to dressy and has multi ways of carry. I'm just fingers crossed they will sell it my country. Again thanks again for your insight. Your so very helpful :smile:
(Actually just re read I'm 4 inch shorter. I'm nearly 5ft 1) So definately will need more holes put in strap.

Hi! Congrats for your new bag!
Does it fit a full size wallet? Is the chain detachable?

It looks amazing on you ! Thanks for all the great shots. Also the detailed
Pros and Cons. You are such a great photographer for close up! I wish I could hire you for my jewelry photographs :smile:
Lol. Thank you! You are so sweet! :heart: I sold all of my Coach bags on eBay so I tried to take the best pictures up close. My iPhone 6 can get a little blurry sometimes (I just need to upgrade my phone too), but I didn't want to waste time using my camera so I get the images uploaded quicker to TPF. But my Sony camera is a bit better in quality. I would love to help photograph your items too! That would be so much fun!

Thank you! I tried to fit my Zippy wallet in, but unfortunately it was a little too bulky and long. It might be able to fit and Emilie or Josephine wallet, but I don't have either of those. The chain is not detachable. I called CS about it and they said that it was a mistake, and they were going to correct it on the website.

Exactly, agree 100% with you! I also like how the clasp is hidden so you can't see the scratches. I love how beautiful the S-lock is on the PM, but after awhile the scratches do start to bother me, even it's meant to be used.
Yes, it would definitely fit the items you mentioned. I can fit my mini pochette inside, but it takes up more room. I noticed that both my PM strap and the Blanche BB have 7 holes punched. But, it does feel like a very long strap too me. It feels a bit longer with the chain detailing too. Yes I was hoping the strap was detachable as well (to make it a clutch would be a great idea), but it is permanently attached on all parts of the chain and handle.
I do like that the strap or chain doesn't rub up against the bag though. That is a major plus because it will keep the glazing in tact around the edges (I guess this would also be a major pro to the bag).
I love how versatile it looks too. A little mix of casual and dressy is great. I really hope that the bag becomes available for you as well! Fingers crossed. I'm glad I could help. :heart:

Thank you for the detailed review and pics! I'm looking for a smaller than PM for weekends, so this might just fit the bill! Will need to see if its available in Australia!
You're welcome. :heart: I hope that you are able to get it as well! I don't know what the marketing strategy is on why they don't provide availability in countries around the world. They would definitely profit from it! Doesn't make sense.

You're welcome! Thank you for the kind words! :heart: Yes, I don't really have a nice going out bag. I can now take this out on a date with DH. I would have loved the back pocket feature also! It's one thing I really love about my PM. That's where I normally store my phone, so it takes some getting use to.

Ha ha! I have three Coach bags from early 2000 that I don't use - so those need to go on eBay. I use my IPhone 7 plus for lots of photos and it's pretty good. I use my Canon for my jewelry but I'm not too good with photography lingo:)
For jewelry --up close and white background are needed- sometimes I get it right but it's hard for some reason :)

I can’t believe how Coach and MK sell like hot cakes on eBay! Especially with good pictures I think it made all of the difference! I felt like I would spend days taking pictures at the right angle. So many sellers have horrible lighting and blurry pictures. I did the maximum pictures every time and tried to price it fairly. And I tried to pack everything very neat and secure with bubble wrap. I guess I do have one more Coach bag and clutch thinking I would use them and haven’t for years now. Lol, I love searching Google when I’m searching for the right lingo too! I would love to help you out if I lived closer to you! I hope you have good luck selling your items! [emoji173]️
