Oh! Good to know, thx! May be a dealbreaker then. Saw this photo in the most recent Marie Claire magazine. Perhaps it's more true to size. I will wait and see if it comes to a department store (i.e. Saks, Nordstrom or Neiman) so that I have a more generous return policy. I've returned way too much Coach this year so far.

The bag in the photo is a borrowed sample from the runway, and the sizes were much larger on the runway than the retail version for dramatic effect. I have yet to see a retail version that matches what was on the runway. They're all scaled back in embellishment and size to be easier to sell to consumers.
I'm confused. They are both labeled a 34 but the leather one is actually bigger? I'm very petite but don't find my signature rose 34 to be massive.
They're both the same size, but the bag was definitely bigger than 13 inches in store. It felt more like 17 inches tall and maybe 14 inches wide. I didn't measure, however. What are the measurements on your signature version when you measure it yourself?
