Here are a couple of mod shots. I swear, every mod shot I do is in workout clothes. I never seem to have time on weekday mornings when I'm dressed for work! Oh well. I don't have anything in the bag yet but wanted to get these posted for those of you who want to see it on! So one shot on shoulder and one crossbody. I don't usually like to wear bags crossbody but I like this bag that way! ImageUploadedByPurseForum1412440745.043028.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1412440770.650703.jpg

Thank you! I haven't had time to load it up and take a mod shot but I will tomorrow!

Anyone know if Apple conditioner would be ok on it?

Hi. The care card says to store it in a cool dry place. To remove surface dirt use Coach leather cleaner and Coach leather moisturizer. So I guess you can use Apple leather conditioner when needed. The bag is new so I wouldn't put apple conditioner unless you think leather is dry and needs it. The leather on my bag is fine so I don't think it needs apple leather conditioner just yet. Can someone else chime in here?

Thank you all! I don't think it needs Apple conditioner yet but I thought it might be good to protect it from rain, etc. I've used it on new bags before but wasn't sure about this leather.

Just to follow up on the Apple conditioner - I just put a light coat on the bag, to protect the leather from rain, spills, etc. It doesn't have feet on the bottom, and I wanted to be sure if I accidentally sat it down on something wet, it wouldn't damage it. It looks fantastic - Apple is the best - never changes the color, and soaks in with no shiny or oily residue. I haven't used the Coach conditioner in a long time, due to there being silicone in it (not sure if it still has that, but I don't want to take a chance).

I live in Canada and had admired this bag since it showed up on the website last fall. It was not available here at all but I finally tracked it down on ebay. So happy with it! Thanks for the lovely pictures. Hope you are still enjoying it!

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...

Soooo pretty! I love the richness of the brown and the contrasting hardware.
