I am a fan of Coach and Swagger in particular. I got Swagger 27 in Fog a couple of months ago but wasn't impressed when I got it. Maybe it was just the Fog color. The bag also seemed a bit heavy for me. I walk for hours in NYC so my shoulders start hurting after a while with a heavy bag. I've seen Swagger 20 in stores but thought it was too tiny for me. So when I discovered Swagger 21 online I was excited. I bought Swagger 21 in Saddle from Macy's but the color was not as bright as in photos and the bag still looked very small to me. I returned the bag and instead bought Swagger 21 in Croc Navy. I love the way it looks. And even though the color looks almost black it's actually works better for me.

I am wondering if Swagger 21 looks too tiny on 5.7" and 115 lbs. frame. I am also over 40 and afraid that Swagger 21 could look too juvenile on me even though I look and dress as a woman in 30s. Are any ladies here on the forum who have Swagger 20 or 21 bags over 35 years old? Thank you.

Here are pics of Swagger 21 in Saddle and Croc Navy:

I'm about your size but way older... I have the Swagger 20 and use it in casual dress. Here's a pic. ImageUploadedByPurseForum1462661605.925332.jpg

I'm 32 so not sure if my opinion counts, but I always believe that if you love a bag, wear it! I personally love the 21 size and already have three of them. I think they're perfect for when you don't need to carry a lot.

I saw the saddle color for the first time yesterday and like you, think it's much less bright than it looks in photos. For that reason, I say go with the navy croc. The croc just adds a little something extra to this bag that I love. I haven't seen the navy yet, but from your photos it looks gorgeous.

I thought I was done buying handbags until I saw this beauty at Dillard's. I didn't know they made chalk in the 27 size and upon checking at my boutique, found that it's a Dillard's exclusive. It hurt to pay full price for this while the Coach sale was going on, but what do you do when you're in love?. The lighter edge paint sold me. It's beige rather than the black they've been doing with chalk. Love :love:

Thank you for your input. Yes, I definitely like Navy Croc better. If Coach had Swagger 23 or 24 it would be probably ideal size for me. But I noticed that if I hang it on my shoulder with a long strap with handles down it doesn't look like a toy satchel bag but more of a regular cross body bag. Maybe I should just carry it like that. I bought Michael Kors Selby medium top-zip messenger bag a month ago and it's a perfect size for me (slightly larger than Swagger 21). I just don't find Selby's design as esthetically pleasing as I find the Swagger. So I think I am keeping the Navy Croc.

Confirming once and for all that the Coach website dimensions are incorrect; the bottom actually measures just about 11", though across the top of the bag is about 13". It is the same size as the other 27's. :tup: Weight: 1 lb 10 oz.

Holy crap! It took me a second to realize that the stitching is rainbow. LOVE IT!!!!
