Beautiful! A nice alternative to the PM. I agree with you about not liking floppy top handles- this one looks perfect. The bag looks great on you!

Definitely smaller capacity than the PM.Wow this is gorgeous! Would you say it's same in capacity to the PM or smaller? Is the strap detachable ? Really hope this becomes available in Australia online as well ! Love to hear your pros and construction too!

Worn on the shoulder
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.

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.View attachment 4089337

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.
Thanks ever so much the detailed pics and explanation.View attachment 4089602View attachment 4089603View attachment 4089604
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.

Lol. Thank you! You are so sweet!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![]()
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.Hi! Congrats for your new bag!
Does it fit a full size wallet? Is the chain detachable?
Thanks ever so much the detailed pics and explanation.
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
(Actually just re read I'm 4 inch shorter. I'm nearly 5ft 1) So definately will need more holes put in strap.
You're welcome.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!

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 lingoLol. Thank you! You are so sweet!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!

For jewelry --up close and white background are needed- sometimes I get it right but it's hard for some reason![]()
