A Bloomingdale's just opened up today and I was in heaven! I loved the color of smileydimples blue Lexi but unfortunately it wasn't available in store but I happened to come across this and I stopped in my tracks. Love the color and the hardware and oodles of pockets. I'm not too familiar with this brand but I like it and that's pretty much all that matters to me. ��

Posting on here to show off my new Coach Swagger! I've had my heart set on this style of bag for over a year now, but couldn't really justify the price tag. I've been looking around online and thought the 27 would be a perfect fit for me, but upon seeing it in person, knew I had to have the regular size. I'm so happy my husband picked it up as an early birthday present! Makes it that much more special!

I absolutely adore this bag. It looks like a combination of MK's Hamilton and Selma, but the leather is PERFECTION! Coach bags don't normally appeal to me, but this one sure stands out. Now I know a colored Swagger or two may be in my future... REALLY wishing Coach would make the lilac one in the larger sizes.

So nice! love swaggers but they are a bit heavy... the GHW looks fantastic w/the black.

I've heard that complaint a lot and I'm waiting for my arm to fall off! Haha! I've carried it for a few days now and don't really feel a difference in weight between the Swagger and my e/w Hamiltons. I don't carry a ton of stuff, though.

LOL.. i have no idea how heavy Hamilton's are, i just know generally speaking swaggers are on the heavier side.. i have lifted quite a few.. love the bag, just wouldn't want to carry it for long periods, i don't typically carry much but i swear it weighs a lot.

From what I heard the newer ones are lighter. I find that hard to believe with the metal chain straps though.

Really? chain adds weight. Hmmm. I don't go into the Coach boutique often. I did check out the new shearling line but only admired the swaggers as i have lifted them bunches of times, the "sister" they have made for the factory store is no lightweight either...

Makes good carryalls but no all day shopping excursions. :p

I think the pebbled leather adds a bit more weight because it's substantial. I thought the Swagger was on the heavier side when I looked at it in store. Surprisingly, the Hamilton is made of a thinner saffiano leather, which means the body is not as heavy. However, the chains do add some weight. It may end up being a tie on the weight issue.

Thankfully, the black one only comes with the regular leather strap, not the chain strap. I don't normally use straps anyway and throw them in their dust bags so I don't lose them.

Now I need to get out one of my Hamiltons and compare leathers!

That's good, while i like the look of the chains the added weight one does not need!

My absolutt favorite brand besides MK is the danish brand " by Malene Birger ". It's one of my favorite designers when it comes to high end fashion and I'm lucky to own several items and clothes from this designer. The bags are truely stunning, and comes in a variety of patterns, styles and color. I love my clutch and weekend bag!
