is that the small or the large?...its such a pretty colour
I’m only aware of one size 9044. It isn’t a large bag and I’m surprised I’ve got four of these in red, orange, black, and British tan. Usually I like my bags to be larger but it is a cool retro looking bag and I love the color!
Whoops! Wrong bag. This is the large plaza.
I wanted to take a photo of my collection, so I started placing my bags on my (fairly large)bureau and they didn't fit. My mom guilt started getting the better of me, so I made a list. All my bags, what I paid, what they retailed for around the time they were made(to the best of my knowledge) and I was afraid what the final numbers would be. To my surprise, I've done pretty good. Even with going over my $30 limit a couple of times, I'm still averaging less than $34 per bag. I bought all my bags at the same cost I could have easily bought one bag from Coach brand new. I suddenly feel like a handbag champion

FYI: There’s a jade (does not look bottle nor forest green) city bag over on mercari! Pricey but such a beautiful color. https://merc.li/sJMWydR9b
The seller has some fakes listed but a majority of them are real.

I too end up taking the key rings off of fobs. I love the look of many fobs, but have come to the conclusion that many made on the past few years, which are adorable, were made in mind perhaps for large bags like the Rogue.
Some of them are really heavy. I have been in outlets over the past few years and would get really excited to see a nice display of fobs. Only to pick them up and be disappointed at how heavy they were. I like bags that are heavy enough. I do like that I can buy hang tags in a variety of colors though.

Quadraplets,I have that charm too.Lol, @Nataluccia3 as well! We’re charm triplets!
You are a real winner to find the red Regina in that price range!I wanted to take a photo of my collection, so I started placing my bags on my (fairly large)bureau and they didn't fit.

I know what you mean about weight! I found the oil slick bear bag charm at my nearest coach outlet & it was HEAVY. Passed on it for $35 with the discount because of the weight. The tea rose charm that I have, it’s actually pretty light. Its just the key ring doesn’t lay nicely & it just makes the charm look bulky overall. I agree, these charms were probably made with bigger bags in mind. The first thing that comes to mind are the Rexy skeleton charms. Even the small ones are huge, lol
Regina was not in that price range. She was the one I really went over my limit for(but still good price for a red Regina.) She's worth every penny. If I had to get rid of all my bags, I would hide her. That's just an overall average.
For all the Patricia owners: is it really THAT heavy? I want one but Im worried about the weight. Can it be comfortably carried for a few hours or do you start to feel the effects of the weight right away?
Eta: debating between the city, Patricia or stewardess as my next bag purchase.

For some reason I can't believe you don't already have a City. I know they seem to be a dime a dozen, but it is such a good bag. Out of all the bags I own, it probably scores the most points in the conveniency category. It's a good size, it has that large outer pocket, not heavy at all. I don't have a Patricia or Stewardess, but I do recommend buying a city. I found mine for $20. I see them at low prices all the time. I want a BT one and a red one.
I have all three. I can weigh them on my food scale tonight if you like
The Patti has the extra weight of the zipper and chunky buckles. I always liked the style so it didn’t bother me.
