Thank you all! I'm sure this would work on me crossbody if I wanted to wear it that way (would be nice for travel). I'm only 5'3" though, so you lucky tall girls might not be able to make it work! I actually came up with closer to 21" for the drop, but I was using a standard ruler, not using a measuring tape, so it may be off!
 
LONG, detailed review and many pictures to follow...

First off, I had no idea my SA had it gift packaged for me - beautiful packaging, not a single bit of glue on the bag or anything like that. All hardware wrapped and the new black dust bag included. Now onto the good stuff...

This bag is seriously beautiful. I was so doubtful about ordering it sight unseen. I worried it would be too big, too pebbley (is that a word?), too red (as opposed to more of a brown), and I thought the strap might be too long for shoulder wear. I could not have been more wrong! I think I captured the color pretty accurately. I took pics outside and in my office, which has filtered sunlight.

The workmanship is amazing. The leather has the perfect amount of pebble (it's not as pebbled as the black bag I saw in the store and I like this leather better than that one). The saddle color is gorgeous. Very similar to Legacy cognac (see comparison pic). The dark gunmetal hardware looks super cool with the brown leather, and the black suede and fabric lining (and leather key fob) contrast really nicely. The slip pocket under the flap on the front of the bag is nice and flat and is easy to get in and out of. It has the standard Coach zip pocket inside, but also has a pocket along the inside front that snaps. It smells like no other Coach bag I've ever bought (in a good way!). Now, for some pictures. Uploading 4 at a time...

That's a beautiful brown! Sometimes it takes a bit of courage and faith to buy unseen or from a bad photo. Coach has been good for me on that score. Big Congrats!

Check if there's a phone app to upload the wonderful smell ;)
 
I think this is the best color I have seen so far KC!!!!!!
Yay! I kindof wanted the black one with the chain whipstitch, but I have too many black bags right now. Even though this is so similar in color to cognac, it's a totally different style. And this color is the only one being made like this right now - with the flat pocket, etc.

Thank you! I'm so picky and am one of those people who just has to touch and hold something before I know if I'll really like it. So I was nervous. But the color is beautiful. And how cool would that be to have a smell app! :laugh:
