Wow, so much to drool over ... I'm loving seeing more woven Kristin bags, I'm still haunted by that woven mushroom Sage (that I absolutely loved but didn't get because it was just way too big for me). Also loving some of the adorable small bags.
 
I like the embossed small leather purses and the crossbody bags but everything else looks like the same old tired shapes just with new textures. And that straw bag with the multi-colored hang tags! Are you kidding me????!!!!
 
Does this look like a smaller version of the Kristin Sage? I hope so as the current sage is too gigantic for me. I hope it comes in other colors. Love the weave. I'm also a sucker for turnlocks. :D

ME too.. I have a couple of the sage handbags, but do not use them because they are too big for me (being only 5') but i love the style so i had to get one, i am hoping as you said these will be a smaller version ..
 
It took me forever to notice, but...

Gasp! CORNER REINFORCEMENTS!!! :faint: (What ARE they called???) I missed those so much! I thought that was one of the ultimate "parts" of Coach bags for some reason. After I took a recession break, I came back and they were gone. (At least there were awesome-looking Madison Audreys and other pleated goodies, haha. Now that carriage is more ultimate. ;))

I don't know if I like this pocket tote/carryall though. :-s
 
I see some beautiful bags I am interested in - the natural leather tan bags are gorgeous. Thanks so much for all the pictures! :-)

I'll bet some of the reason that there doesn't seem to be as much love for the Spring line is the absence of all the deep rich jewel colors that the Fall line has.

I am so not with most of you ladies with the love for Fall '11.

Because of your comment I think I realized it's because the BAGS I like all have NON jewel colours! They are all, in their basic leathers without upgraded pricing, all tan, black, white, Bordeaux (I only have Soho Bordeaux for the pink ombré stitching! I really don't like FW11 Bordeaux) ... and that's mostly it! I don't like the dark green or dark purples, too, I don't get the appeal of those particular spectators.

I like the patent purple, but it didn't come in the flap carryall I wanted except for dept. stores and I couldn't find any in stock. (I need to try my bags on first, like everything else.)

This is all partially why I just went for the exotic!!! I liked the F.C. in brown in my head, anyway, and I've been thinking I'd only get a brown bag if it were special like croc or spectator anyway. Boom! Done.

Seriously, this one bag is all I even wanted to take home, that is for the respective prices; the higher-end practically-regular leather Kristin Flap Satchels were appealing but they don't scream their pricetags!)

At least I incredibly love my M. F.C. in toffee!
 
No time or energy right now for a reveal but for those who are interested, DH helped me to take some pics of bag that arrived yesterday--Introducing!

Pinnacle Leather Louisa (Parchment) #18973
(MSRP $698.00)


Has a light slate grey lining, loads of detailing including whip stitching on handles and bag-0-and unique buckles on the handle with the whip stitching as well. The tags are beautiful and the hardware is a mix of silver and rose gold. And has a dowel that keeps the bag from puddling with the soft, smooshy, pebbled leather. :cloud9::heart::love::cloud9::heart::love:

Wow she is just gorgeous Prof! Would you say she is the same size as Caroline? I just love the whip stitch detail on the handles and the turn lock.
