I just got my first Swagger, an eBay-find Metallic Cherry 27, and now I want them ALL. It is the perfect size and has just the right amount of structure for my liking. Now, I'm trying to decide between a light colored one for spring or another, possibly green, fall/winter color.
 
IMG_0555.JPG IMG_0555.JPG Joined the club yesterday afternoon with my black and gold hw 27 swagger! Never had a coach bag before but this one seems special. Lmk how you guys find the 27 size, ive been trying to downsize what I carry on the daily, and I was carrying an LV neverfull right before I bought this bag and am used to carrying my life around with me
 
Joining the club with my Swagger 20 in chalk that I just received yesterday, paired with my favorite Coach bracelets that are several years old. I threw in my Apple watch because I think it matches the bag, even though I wear it and my crystal Coach bracelet every day.

This looks more beige/nude than the stark "chalk" white color I've seen in the store! This is absolutely gorgeous
 
So I started lurking on this thread for the past week and fell in love with this bag. I went into a local Lord & Taylor last night to see it in person, but was disappointed with how small the bag was. However, there was one that was larger and one I hadn't seen before. All back glovetanned leather with braided details. I absolutely fell in love... until I saw the price tag of $895. That's money I wouldn't spend on a Coach bag. But, I still had the bag on my mind and researched it the same night. I realized it was a sold out bag and one you couldn't get anymore but the Coach site had it listed at $449. An idea popped in my mind thinking I could price match the bag and that's what I did this morning.

So here she is... my RIP and repair black glovetanned swagger. AKA also my first Coach bag since my high school years. I ADORE her.

What a beauty! I'm happy to hear you got a good deal. That bag has been on my radar as well, but $895 is a bit too steep! I'll have to take a peek at the sales.
How are you liking it so far?
 
I'm officially a member of the Swagger club! :yahoo: Might add a black swagger with gold hardware to the collection one day—maybe even a true red frame swagger if I can afford it!

I absolutely LOVE the 27 floral swagger, but the seller I bought it from on eBay failed to mention the bag's horrendous smell. (Just imagine a perfume mixed with a dryer sheet, but turned bitter and sour...) I haven't been able to use the floral as much as I'd like because of it, but I've been airing it out and the grossness is slowly starting to dissipate. As the for 27 exotic—I'm afraid to use it. TBH, I bought it thinking it'd function more like a piece of art than a purse. I just like looking at it! (Hoping that isn't too weird a thing to admit on TPF... :graucho: )

ETA: I just noticed that one of the locks isn't turned like the others. My inner nitpick is displeased. :no: (It does kind of make it look like the bag is 'winking' at us, though!)

It's beautiful! I hate to admit this but I got it from Macy's during F&F for $469 (minus plenty points and gift cards) but ended up returning it. I was obsessed with having to have it and then when I got it, it wasn't true love. Now, I have a big collection of bags so I think I reached my limit (I can't believe I just said that) and couldn't justify the cost. I returned it to Macy's in Quackerbridge Mall in Lawrenceville NJ if you want to see if they still have it. Macy's takes phone orders and ships for free (I think you may need to have a Macy's card).
 
I'm considering joining the swagger club but am looking for a bit of advice! I love the rainbow style but am a bit worried it won't be large enough for me.

I usually carry pretty big bags so am wondering if I'm setting myself up for disappointment? How much do you find you can carry with the 27? I'd only be using the shoulder strap so I'm also wondering if the issue of them unclipping has been resolved?

Thank you so much!! Xo

I just ordered a Swagger 27 pebble leather in saddle in the outlet sale!! And for the ridiculous amount of $180!

Does anyone know if it being a Swagger and not a Blake, will it come with dust bag? I'm so excited I can't wait to get it!
 
Hi, I'll appreciate your opinions on the leather used in the soft swagger. Do you all think the quality is good? I like how it weighs lesser than my pebbled leather swagger but don't want to compromise on the quality. It would be great if you could share your thoughts as I am looking to purchase another soft swagger. TIA!
