I received the daily and although it is cute in the pink color, it seemed way too big for my stuff. I suspected that would be the case but everyone seems to love it and many love all of that slouch. Plus it smelled funny. Kind of like a plasticy smell. I will return it. Oh well...I still like the Georgie.

I am sorry to hear that you didn't like it! My black one didn't smell funny at all - it just smelled like yummy leather. When you mentioned in another thread what you normally carry, I was actually thinking maybe a swingpack would work well for you?

It comes in Pink Ruby!
I bought the Peach Rose from Macy's during a 25% + 25% sale, which came out to a pretty good deal. But even at just regular 25% off, I think it's a decent price. The leather is lovely.

The leather is lovely.I am guessing the smell is similar to the problems that people have mentioned with a couple of other specific styles. I can't tell if it is the inside that smells, or the leather part, but since this is a new bag, and not an ebay purchase I really don't want to deal with that issue--since I can return it. It could also be an issue with the pink leather, I am not sure.
The swingpack is nice, but I normally don't buy the flatter bags...I was just thinking maybe the Daily would work because there was a bit of room in there. And along with everyone here, the SA at Coach said that was one of the favorite bags, and was selling really well. Since she knew I couldn't have a chance to see it in person, she even said if you don't like it, you can return it.
I have enough bags, but thanks for the suggestion! I might look around and see if there is anything I haven't looked closely at that I might like.

My mother just bought the mini Christie in Pink Ruby and she's normally a big bag girl like the Daily. I love the Georgie and I think it is just beautiful in color, especially the Mandarin. A woman almost bought the Georgie in white ostrich with the pink trim while we were there and that's a gorgeous version of it too.
Good Luck deciding!

Thanks all! I was kind of bummed too, as it is a cute bag, but it felt a bit too much like my stuff was swimming inside of it. I should have listened to my gut instinct that 15 inches was too long for me, even when the slouch helps alleviate some of the length.
I have never had a new Coach bag smell like that before. Glad that others aren't having the issue.
I forgot to clarify above, that I already have the Georgie (not just looking at it), and that since I like that bag, not liking this one isn't as big of a deal.
That all said, now that I have seen how big the Daily is for me, it has me reconsidering the mini Preston. I know it isn't as practical as I would like it to be, but it is so darn cute, and definitely not too big!

I just got my Stud P! I love the mini bags but then I'm a mini person so they fit just right. There are certainly a lot to choose from so you might find one you like.
Update: I am super frustrated with shopping at the FP store. This is exactly why I buy everything online or at department stores when I can get it on sale. I bought that Daily with a Macy's discount price match--I was trying to give the FP store a chance and asked them if they could honor that. I go in to return the item, and said I would like to exchange for the sea mist Preston, but only if I can get the discount I originally used. I explained that I don't get PCE's because my email keeps getting taken off the mailing list even though I used to get PCEs all of the time.
OMG...she then says, well they only send those to certain customers. Well, doesn't that make me feel all warm and fuzzy? I said, I understand that but it is impossible to get a PCE email when they keep turning off your email from their list completely. I had mentioned the PCE, as I figured if they couldn't match Macy's they might just extend a PCE so that instead of giving me a full return, they would actually make more money off of me with a bag that costs more than the Daily did.
She checked and said they could only honor the discount once, so I politely said I would do the full return then.
Why does Coach limit their stores like that? Why would I pay full price for something I can get on sale? It just makes some customers feel bad when they can't get a discount that other people are getting. And the fact the store has to turn away sales because of this practice.
I realize some of the limitations are put on the stores by Coach, and it isn't all their fault, but it doesn't make me feel any better when you don't emphathize with the email situation and then say that they limit those to certain customers as if that is the only reason I don't receive PCEs, or am not worthy enough of the discount.
I think I will just buy this bag at Belk with a coupon they have there...not as much as 25 % off but Coach is showing as out of stock for the seamist, and I am kind of frustrated with all of it now anyway.
On a happy note, I really liked the mini Preston this time around.

Coach has come down on exchanges with the PCE's. It is allowed "if" you get the same style, different color.
I can see the frustration especially when there are so many discounts offered from different stores.

That stinks! I know I saw a seamist mini P at Macys weeks ago. If you have one near you, I know they are having a sale tomorrow and I would bet they will have their normal 25% just because it's Mom's Day. You may want to run in and take a peek. Can't wait to see what you get!
It was mainly annoying that they completely gave up a sale and did a full return when they could have had a larger sale than the original one if I could have just had the 25% off I had already received/or that a PCE would have offered me. I guess it is their loss, and it just reminded me why I had stop going in, because they always made me feel like I was groveling for a discount...where as other stores are all inclusive about their discounts, or you can borrow a PCE and use it online with no hassle at all. When I was getting PCEs I would post my discount because I know how much I appreciate those that share theirs.
The good news is that I did order the seamist mini P from Belk....I saved 1/2 of what I would have with the 25% off, but hey, $30 off is better than paying full price. I would have bought it in store while I was in the mall, but they didn't have the seamist in stock..only all of the newer colors of the mini P. Even though I ordered the daily in pink, I was torn between seamist and pink for the mini P, and the seamist won out. It is such a nice color.
Thanks everyone for your kind support and encouragement

Seamist is gorgeous. It stopped me in my tracks when I first saw it. Congratulations!
