Reviews of commonly uncommon handbags HERE *

[lotusflowerbaum]

There are bags from most contemporary designers that are common enough people may recognize but no reviews can be found on TPF. I've been recently purchasing a couple items here and there and instead of posting individual postings I'll mash the in here every so often... please feel free to add your reviews of your purchases here too.

The more reviews the better

This review is for anyone who is curious about the stanton 26...please feel free to add onto this post if I left anything out:

Coach 26 Stanton Carryall
Metallic Green w/ gunmetal hardware

There's a deal at Macy's right now so it got marked down from retail of more than $200 to $128 + $20 of Macy's Money * valid 12/18-12/23


First picture is the bag itself apologize for the bad lighting. It's a beautiful green that pretty much can go with anything since imo it's pretty neutral. The bottom left picture is also what the bag looks like stuffed with my essentials.


In the 2nd picture, I omitted my make up bag, hand sanitizer/pepper spray, & lotion. The zipper compartments house the pink mini skinny id holder,the zip around cardholder, my pink agenda, and key pouch. The bag feels lightweight and there's not much strain to the hooks and leather where it attaches. There's nothing in the center pocket of the bag. #1 is fine but #2 looks strained for some reason


Last pic has the zipper compartments full and this time I added my make up bag and everything else in the middle. Personally the bag weighs about average, too lightweight but not heavy either. As you can see in #1 & #2 (same hooks as #2 in the 2nd picture) looks super strained but still feels sturdy... trust me it's just hard to look at. I'm sure if I packed like this all the time and used this daily without babying it, it may wear down but no way to tell officially.



Summary:
I recently sold my MK small sutton in PVC canvas and I missed it... *and also I impulsively purchased this bc of the sale who am I kidding* so this is super similar. Only difference is that the sides don't expand out to make more room in the bag like the sutton but it feels just as spacious. Oh yeah and the magnetic closure is super strong and thick too. Anyway I used this bag today while xmas shopping and running errands and I love it so far.

COACH RHYDER 24 IN GUNMETAL


Dimensions are 9 1/2" L x 6" H x 6 1/2" W

Retail from what I found was $240 or so, it was marked down for me to $165 with $4.99 usps priority mail shipping. Total came to $169.99.

I purchased this pre loved off Poshmark. The woman didn't use the bag or take off the tags, provided detailed pictures, and showed me the authenticity tag within the purse itself. According to the tag, it was made of July last year. It's perfect condition with no damage to exterior or interior and no odors.


Picture #1 is of the bag itself. I'm not sure what the official color name of the hardware is but it's like a dull silver? #2 is the side of the bag which features a turnlock closure pocket.



What I currently tote around in my bag. Cosmetics bag, pepper spray, 2 small wallets, key pouch, small perfume, sugarpaper planner, and body lotion.


This is the bag empty. As you can see, it's pretty spacious. Picture #2 is what the pocket turnlock closure looks like meanwhile #1 is the main compartment to the bag. It does strain the bag but I'm not worried because it looks super reinforced unlock my Stanton was, which I ended up exchanging for a Minetta, which I then exchanged for this instead. ♡

Love this bag so far because I can undo the turn locks on the side of the bag and extend the zipper if necessary *if that makes sense...
