I agree black on black, more eye-catching and unique. There will always be black and gold.

Sorry - looks like I am in the minority. I like the black with gold hardware - classic looking. I usually prefer silver hardware but with black leather - the gold is a nice accent!

Black on black is more versatile. Black with gold is prettier.

I don't like to wear bags with a lot of gold hardware with silver jewelry, and I love to wear my silver jewelry.

Swagger is a fancy enough bag that it really doesn't need the gold hardware. But it is pretty. If you are going for pretty.

I say change it up, unless you really want the black with gold bag, or you really dislike the black on black bag.

I have the black on black bag.

Black on black! As others have said, black/gold will always be around & you already have several.

I have the black on black and it is the bag I go to most (even out of my higher end LV bags). You can dress it up or down and the HW gives it a unique appearance.

I still like the black on black better. Especially since it can kind of pass for a black briefcase with your professional outfits. Also long term, the gold color might chip and become more noticeable than the black hardware. You can't really go wrong with either one. Good luck deciding.

I would, but I may be biased since I own the black on black. I have gotten more compliments on it than any bag I've ever carried.

Ashley may I know how the black hardware is holding up? Have you had any obvious scratches / wear on the "feet" or where the shoulder strap area is etc? Really hoping it'll be a super low maintenance purse I can use daily. Thanks again i can't tell you how much you've helped me!!

It's holding up quite nicely. I carried it daily for over a month and haven't noticed any scratches or wear. I would definitely consider it a low maintenance bag. [emoji2]

I think this is the first time coach released a black on black hardware if I'm not mistaken?? so I was trying to look up pictures of used black on black ones just to see how it would look but all I could find were a bunch of gold hardware. So That's really great to hear!! I think I'm going for the black on black! :)

Honestly, they look good both ways. My question to you is, do you want it to be more classic (black with gold hardware) or more edgy/on trend? (black with black hardware)
