Wow and Wow and Wow!!! Both are stunning- but the plum (as everyone else says!) is simply to die for!!! What a gorgeous bag...are you keeping both??? I certainly would!
Well, ladies...I hate to disappoint but I have been at prepping and taking and sizing and uploading pics for this reveal since 2:00 and it's nearly 8:30 now....I have no mod pics to post tonight...but I promise to take some tomorrow and post in the evening--right on this thread....
I have a party to attend tomorrow afternoon and will be getting all "dolled up" as DH calls it; and will be ready to do more pics tomorrow.
After all the %^$#@! that happened trying to post these pics since last night, I'm, well,
sorta
(Nice metaphors there for being OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Yes, my back is KILLING me right now, actually!!!
I really fell for the plum bag immediately. I love it maybe even more than the Fawn bag....
Thank you! I have a new Sony camera and think the quality of pics in this reveal are the best I've taken in a while! Very excited about the camera!
I promise to post on this thread later. I have none right now... Sorry!!!
And thanks for looking at my reveal and for your super sweet comments!
Close ups of the Kristin Ostrich Leather Flap Satchel 18288
(MSRP $1000.00)
Btw, the color is called "Fawn" and the hardware is.....a breathtaking rose gold.
BUT!
As BonBonz noted earlier and as I posted last night in written descriptions of the bags, after I picked them up, there is NOT a chain style strap on this bag as was shown in the Fall preview pics. I'm not sure what I think of the plainer, leather style strap yet....
BUT!
The bag also is NOT described as EMBOSSED. Does that mean that this is really OSTRICH LEATHER? Because if it is, that would explain the price?
Ok, here are the close-ups....Notice how the rosegold charm that is included with the ostrich leather hang tag is a "swivel" style. It has the Coach written in script on one side and the Coach lozenge on the other, so as it swivels on the bag, it will always say Coach. Love this!!!
I checked it out again in the Fall thread and I see what you mean about the chain strap. Why does Coach do these things? The chain detail on the other strap is gorgeous and looks like it adds some more length. The bag is still hot though!
Sorry, I guess "instant" is not really what we have going here, eh?
Thank you, katev, for joining me tonight. The reveal of the year? Aw, that is way too kind of you to say. But I hope you found all the info you were asking about...If not, let me know and I'll send you a PM or reply to another post if you ask. I love the ostrich sabrina pic...I've seen that before and always wondered what it looked like IRL. Funny but the $458 bag is grabbing my attention more than the Fawn bag. I am going back and forth and back and forth on that fawn bag. I love the leather. Love it. Love the rosegold. Meh on the strap, though. The change on that was a real let-down. The good news for me is that I can return it guilt-free if I have a change of heart. After all, the SA was thinking it would possibly be the plum bag when she called and got it for me; so, if I send it back, I don't think I'll offend her too much or at all. But the leather is just stunning. Like no other I've seen. The fawn bag just does NOT photograph well or easily. It must be seen IRL for it to receive its full justice. And the plum? She's never leaving this house! Good thin that real ostrichs have wings but can't fly! So she can't get very far!
Maybe the creed can give u an idea on whether the Fawn bag is the real stuff or no? Sometimes they put what exotic materials might be on it.
I love the plum...I have never been a big fan of ostrich looking stuff, but that plum is awesome!
That is a GREAT idea to read the creed! I didn't even think of that. Will do that soon and let you know. I too have never never been a fan of ostrich stuff. Looks like bumpy wart like bumps to me usually. But on this bag, not so. It is so eye-catching.
More! More pics!!!!
Thanks for looking and for your very sweet comments, PCL!
Thank you! I'm so glad you like them!
Thanks for sticking with my "instant" (LOL) reveal!
You really did! I must say...thank you soooo much!
I think that the plum bag WILL be leaving your house! She'll be on your arm the first time you carry her in public! So gorgeous!
