I think I should have qualified in a bit. In black, the Cassie is a more serious bag. I primarily use the Cassie 19 as a run around bag. However, the Kip is extremely small; it's Coach's interpretation of the tip handle phone crossbody. I've seen them by MK, DKNY, and Kate Spade (?) They actually resemble the vintage Casino bag. I wish they would have brought it back because it's a little more forgiving in its structure. The Kip only holds phone, keys, card case, and hand sanitizer. To be a replacement for the Cassie 19, it needed to bigger.

I don't see the resemblance to the Casino? I checked it out in the store yesterday and I would definitely say it's more of a mini Court than anything. I believe the Riley Chain Clutch resembles the Casino more because of the full flap and rectangular base.

l forgot about the Riley. That one does look like a Casino. But the Kip is really small. They might have created it because of the pandemic? It's useful for what you don't want to carry a lot of stuff and because of this tiny size, it's not an arm and a leg.

haha agreed, I watched a few of the PM to Cassie comparison vids and a lot of LV fans thought it was a direct copy which I don’t think is fair. But the Cassie did turn a lot of LV buyers onto Coach which is kind of fun. I saw many comments about how people realized Coach is very good quality after trying Cassie. But we already knew that, welcome to the club! Hehe

Yes! I’m excited to see where this new attention take the brand in the future. Hopefully it’s a positive direction.

I totally completely get you!!! Makes sense. I feel the same way. I love my Willis and it can looks seriously professional or structure lady like whimsy classic. Lol. It’s all how you dress it up right? We ladies have different vibes we love to rock according to occasion. I think it’s also the whole pebble leather. So I did see it in person. I actually walked in to buy it in chalk and it was not love at all. Fell for the green pillow tabby 26 and usually I only really love the coach originals line. The rambler was on that same line when I bought it and the interior is all leather lined. No fabric. The Cassie (full sized) was smaller than I anticipated. (Compared to my rambler) I love love love the look of the Cassie because I love the court bag. But, not a fan of the pebbled leather. I prefer glove tanned. I don’t care for fabric lining. Love the leather. I adore the handle. The width is less than 2 inches. I prefer 2 and over, closer to 3. I love the look of it. I just wish it was more like the Kip and if the Kip was the same size as the Cassie, I’d be sold! Lol. I know. I am starting to become so much picker about the ones I love and why. I love hand helds. Shoulder / crossbody strap. There is a perfect size for me and that qualifies as basically a medium size bag. These smaller bags drive me crazy. Again I love the look, but at the end of the day so not practical for me. Of my little cutie is already full with no room for my car keys and phone then what the hell? I did something g wrong sizing wise there. I’m not a fan of rejiggering things to fit every time I reach for an item. I know I’m a little weird. Over the years I am learning what I like and what I don’t like. I guess maybe for me the Cassie was better as a view from the sidelines? Maybe I just talked myself out of this bag? I wish it was done a little bit better…

I really want to see what other Coach Originals they bring back. Why do they keep vaulting them? They should leave out classic lines. I would pay full retail for it too. I guess I am
More of a a classic bag style. These damn phones don’t fit in these tiny ass bags. Lol. Ok. I didn’t mean to just keep going.
The Cassie is a gorgeous bag. Either I’ll grab it or I won’t. I’m trying to be good. I really don’t “need” it. I just didn’t want to miss out if it was being discontinued. Sigh…

Maybe grab one Cassie if they go to a 50-60% discount since it’s not love but more FOMO. That way you get an amazing deal. I def get those FOMO moments ha! I agree that I don’t love fabric lining but it’s fine for this bag. I prefer the Parker line - by far my favorite. I have an embarrassing amount of Parker... backpacks, top handles and shoulder bags haha! I love the quilting on them and the microfiber lining. It just feels luxurious and I can’t get enough of it. Isn’t it funny how the phones are getting so big and bags are getting so small? lol! Does not work for cute purse addicts! How e u liking your pillow tabbies? I love my regular tabbies so much! However, the 26 is not the best design. I just like how it looks. I think my tabby 20 top handle holds more.

I just received my first ever Cassie. When I opened it, I noticed that one side of bag has a dent. When I inspected closer I realized that it seems like the leather wasn’t cut straight but kind of crooked which is causing the creasing. Should I exchange this or is this normal? I’m just concerned that maybe the crease in this specific area would cause extra wear and tear on the bag as time went on. Am I being too picky?

If it really bugs you, return it. For me, something like that would depend on how much I paid for it. If I picked it up really, really cheaply, I'd keep it. At the current prices that they're offering, I'd send it back. Whether it would affect the bag's structural integrity,I don't know. Leather, because it's a natural material, will change over time.

Good question. Let’s see if I still have the screen shot. I’ll post it. It was back in Dec. for the life of me I can. It find the coach screen shot. This is her. All leather. It was the Coach Original line. Glove tanned leather
