Bloomingdales.com has some B bags on sale, including the medium bar stripe B in black/ white, the mini bar stripe, and the town tote, for 30% off plus extra 25% off with code Summer. A bit better than the semi annual sale at Coach.


We've had a similar sale up here at Hudson's Bay but not as you good as Bloomies because they are only 25% off with an extra 20% off but I think it ended yesterday. Those B bags are still 25% off though. Funny thing up here with the med pebbled washed chambray though - msrp is $548 cad but Coach website has always been $598 msrp usd. I don't know what's up with that one.


Some great Bleeker bags & leather totes off too!
 
Do you guys use each compartment of the bag? I just got the medium vermillion in the recent Bloomingdales sale but can't decide if I should keep it because I don't know just how to utilize every pocket!


Somewhat difficult to use every compartment. I am using 4 compartments, anymore stuff I add would just deform the whole shape making it bulge and look ugly.

I don't use every compartment either and I also hate it when bags get over stuffed. I'm a huge fan of interior org handbags but no, I don't really want or need to use every section of my Boroughs.


I saw the new pebble loganberry med today! It is very sweet & pretty but I don't think it's for me. I like having contrasting top handles like first generation Borough bags: oxblood & alpine moss.
 
Haha I guess I shouldn't have said all compartments, and should have said "so many" :p

Well how many compartments you use really depends on what you carry around.

I carry my purse, keys, iPad and iPhone (there are extra pockets that fit these two items perfectly to the millimetre) make-up bag plus a bottle of drink and these already make my bag pretty full, JUST, without deforming the shape. Occasionally I carry around some letters or documents around but those are fine. If I want to bring out my sunglasses and its case then I'd need to sacrifice one thing or two.

The only bulky thing in my items are the make-up bags and water bottle / sun glasses case (either of them). Everything else I have are pretty slim, even my purse.
 
Love these! :) is the vermillion more of a pink or red? Also is Coach offering 40% off sale?
No, they are no longer offering 40% on the Boroughs. Vermillion is more of a red; loganberry is more of a pink. I love love love my vermillion because it's a pop of color that goes with everything whereas loganberry is somewhat limiting due to its pinkness I feel.
