Thank you! I just got the Peach Rose Phoebe right before I saw this bag. I'm not sure if I can justify keeping both since they are almost the same color. Decisions, decisions!!

When I ordered these I asked about the color Brindle and she said it was like a camel color. Sounded pretty but I had to stop at 2, lol!!

I just got the large Peach Rose Phoebe, and I would keep this bag if I were you. It's true that it's similar in color to the Rose Petal, but the Rose Petal is a bit darker and the leather is different from the Phoebe. I would keep both bags, especially since large Phoebe is being discontinued. Good luck with your decision!

I also saw the Brindle IRL, and it's a gorgeous shade of camel/ brown, like caramel. ;)
 
Oh boy, I've been thinking about your Smythe and Phoebe all day. The last thing I need is another pink handbag but I absolutely LOVE both of yours. This is very bad for me! If I were you, I'd keep them both.


I did keep both :) Well, I actually sold the phoebe to a friend and really regretted it. I was lucky enough to find another one at Macy's for a great price so I got it! I love the peach rose color, it goes with everything.

I kept both! You're right about the leather, it's completely different. Peach Rose phoebe is one of my favorite bags :) Congrats on yours!!
 
There's lots I do like about it...the overall shape, the little outside pocket. But I'm not crazy about the siggy lining either. Hmmm, what to do, what to do?



Thanks for all the comparison pics. Gives one lots to think about when considering this bag.


I wasn't too thrilled about the lining either when I first got it but I like it now. Don't let that stop you from getting it, its a great bag!
 
Gunmetal looks nice with olive on Carlyle. But I am still excited to see your Smythe. Out of all the colors, I am verrry interested in olive. Definitely a color I don't have and need in my collection.


I am really loving this color! I just got the olive phoebe too and I absolutely love it! The phoebe has light gold hardware and it looks very nice. I know it'll look great but gunmetal is just so different looking. I'll be sure to post pics when it comes on Monday :)
 
That's gorgeous. I like this olive in smooth leather over the more pebbly madison leather.



That tag though! Someone in coach QA asleep on the job I guess.


Thanks! I also have the olive phoebe which I haven't cut the tags yet. I was waiting to see this before I made up my mind...phoebe is going back :) I agree that his color looks better on the smooth leather.
