So far THIS is my favorite mailbox bag. Sooo cute!

With ADD, a bag like this can be a challenge, with so many moving parts, heh.

I mean, you have kisslock options on either end of the bag: then the length of the two handles are totally adjustable for height, and then there's still the Crossbody strap option! It'll take me at least 5 minutes to figure out exactly which adjustment is best, for any given day!

PS. That sheer KH fabric on her (skirt?) is TDF!!

Could we work on being kinder please? This thread is kinda gross.
Put people on your Ignore User list and please stop the snark for others to have to deal with.

I can 'forget' my senior status, but if I were petite this combo would be so much fun...it's so eccentric, and the fabrics look very high quality!

Maybe I'd wear a different pant color, but that top is amazing -- does it look like it's wool?

The double kisslock satchels are clearly an homage to Bonnie Cashin, the designer that founded Coach's women's collection. She did lots of kisslock bags, including bags with double kisslocks. Compare the Cashin bag below, with the original striped legacy lining, to the new spring bag.

So the new mailbox bag IS pretty much a copy of this Cashin model, in the main body...the handle/straps are totally different -- thx for posting this!

Yes [emoji1] the email said it was a nod to her. It's not my thing, but I get why people may want it.

I would love to own an original Cashin double header bag - but only to worship it! Maybe I can get close with one of the new bags!

I'd like to see better shots of the bags! Hopefully the accessories-focused photos will be available soon. This men's bag is interesting, at least from this angle...

I love this jacket! [emoji7]

Yes you're completely right, even if some of the designs are different, clearly many are actually the same drawings from the outlet collection. Which didn't sell well. So we just saw the entire collection on clearance. Now 1941 buyers get to take their turn?

Overall:
Women's RTW wasn't good, in my opinion. Lots of slip dresses with sparkles (and sometimes even lace on top) which do not exude class - just add a tiara and that's how little girls think princesses dress. Those types of slip dresses (minus the sparkles) were done, and over done, by every designer like a year ago. Also many sequins on top of that, which I guess to each her own, because some people like them a lot. The shearing / fur is something Coach always does well but the designs look like they could be borrowed from any of the previous collections. I did like the cheetah print fur coat which was unique.

I suppose I'm being harsh but I'd describe the show today as tacky. A little sparkle or a few sequins, or some western motifs, or some metallics is fine and is part of Coach's style but all those things combined is just beyond over the top. Just look at this shoe...

Western boot...with glitter AND metallics AND western buckles?

I actually like the boots! If I could pull them off I would wear them. They are definitely a statement piece.

No, it looks kind of silky to me and it's gorgeous!

I agree, it caught my eye too. I love black and chocolate brown together.

I do too. I love a lot of the rtw too. Sparkle and shine, bring it on.

Oh, silk would be stunning! And to put a KH graphic on it makes it extra whimsical....whoever can fit into it should truly consider themselves blessed!!
