My beautiful Cassie, a birthday gift from my fiance! No cracks yet...

Someone asked this earlier and it wasn't answered: should I spray my Cassie with Apple Guard? I read some horror stories on Amazon regarding pebbled leather and suede, all of which my Cassie has. I'd hate to ruin my Cassie over good intentions. Does anyone have any ideas?
I sprayed mine with Carbon Pro and its perfect, no marks from the spray. It dried perfectly. I have the Cassie in Light Peach.

Wanted to share how much I'm loving my Cassie! I know it's too small for some and probably not suitable for kitchen sink people. But I am finding it to be very functional, easy to get in/out of (flaps on other bags sometimes like to fight you and always at the worst times), and overall too beautiful to ignore, I find myself peeking in it a lot, just for the pleasure of grabbing the handle and turning the lock.

It also holds way more than it gets credit for, and I'm not even overstuffing like a few YouTubers did. I suppose many men don't have as much to carry because we were limited by pocket capacity for so long, I at least got used to limited space and now almost every bag seems like a bonus!

If people are worried about the edge coating in the corners still - my experience with a different coach bag (also a flap bag in pebbled leather - a messenger bag, actually) is that while the coating does crack in the corner between the flap and the body of the bag, it doesn't spread or affect the integrity of the bag in any other way. I beat the stuffing out of my bags too - that particular bag was my daily driver for over a year, carried textbooks, got overstuffed, thrown on the floor, stuffed into lockers and other odd-sized spaces, all sorts of things. Other than that corner cracking and the normal slouch you get in a leather bag when you carry heavy stuff in it, it otherwise looks almost brand new. It's certainly not enough of a quality issue to put me off buying other flap style bags from Coach - I wouldn't worry about it.
 
Going from a speedy 30 to the Cassie is a challenge. Even though I use a bag organizer in my speedy. I’m also trying to decide if I like it with the regular strap. I’m using my LV strap with it and it seems to work. Just not sure I love the Cassie. I have it stuffed. No room for any extras which I like about speedys. So maybe it’s not the bag I thought it would be. Maybe I’m not the structured bag kind of person.

That is really encouraging to know! I've had my Cassie for about two weeks and it's held up nicely. No complaints, and it has been my daily driver. I've been so impressed I got another one in a different color! So I'm glad to know of your experiences with Coach bags in general. It gives me more hope. :)
 
I cheated on my SA yesterday and I feel bad *but* Dillard’s has a program going on this weekend for 25% regular priced bags (not Michael Korrs) when you donate a purse. I have been coveting the Cassie in Signature and couldn’t pass this up. You guys.....I am so smitten with these bags! I am the type of person who changes out bags frequently but I always come back to the Cassie. I also picked up a couple of Dinky’s during the family and friends sale and love them too. I am putting myself in the corner so I don’t buy anymore bags, at least for a month. :)

Just some feedback on cracks etc that people have concerns about. I have carried the black Cassie a lot and have experienced zero issues. I have been paying attention since it has been an issue for some.

Just wanted to share a couple of photos of these two cuties. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Don’t feel bad; it’s just business!
Love your Cassie’s! I also have the black that I got right when they came out, and also have had no issues with cracked glazing, etc.
