Thank You.
It's so stinking cute though. Like a bitty bowling bag! I am such a fan of a top handle AND crossbody strap. I wondered about the spring lock too. I have a vintage Epi LV that the lock is actually broken so I'm used to it being fiddly...
I am more of a turnlock fan, however I love the rounded shape. One to mull over for a bit :)
I remember someone said they had one and its tricky to get into. Because the bag narrows at the top, its hard to reach the bottom.
Edit: I remembered incorrectly, it was an issue with the spring lock.
 
Hi! I love my side pack. Never thought about putting a water bottle in it but it totally fits. I added a photo of it closed wit the water bottle in it. The photo is with it at it’s longest and shortest setting, I’m 5’3” and soft around the middle ;). It’s a good sized bag with a little bit of weight, but I always wear it cross body and I don’t have any issues. I think you’ll love one.
I love that gussetted front pocket!!

I have not seen one in real life, yet! And they are always on the steep side when they are identified! I generally like medium to large bags for everyday use. And yes, it is really cute imo. Coach did come out with a ton a cute small bags. I have given my self permission to pick up small bags when I run across them at the right price. I call it my small bag collection! It’s easy to store a bunch of small bags!
You may like the Bella Court too, if you like the Derby. It is like a mini plaza bag. If Ican search a catalog pic, I’ll come back and edit.

@Lake Effect I have seen the Bella which is like a rounded Court bag. Super cute too. I'm debating on a Court, or a Bella, or a Murphy or the Derby or a tan Regina.
I like smaller bags and the Court is probably about as large as I would go - i think the Bella is close in size (?)

I see the Bella described as about 8” wide x 7” high. My Court measures about 9” wide by 7” high. I have two large Plazas, wouldn't mind finding a Bella or Derby in black though. They just look classy. But it’s not a priority at the present.

Speak of the Derby, there’s a reboot of it in yellow.
Just knock me dead, it’s official. There is a reboot in the HG shade of blue, Mineral, of a vintage baby Shoulder Pouch/ Station Bag. I am sucked in :faint:

I'm sucked in by that little Barrel Bag in black. Totally impractical, but classy!

Where did you see the reboot Derby and baby Shoulder Pouch?

OMG, I just saw a pic of the Mineral baby shoulder pouch like bag - so cute! I might have to have DH buy one of those or the reimagined sidepack for an anniversary present next year. Or one of the purple bags - I haven’t been able to snag a vintage purple bag yet.

I have a question for everyone regarding signature bags. I have 3 sig fabric bags, all in excellent condition, outlet purchases that my sister gave to me when she cleaned out her closet. I know the sig fabric isn't super popular right now, but my question is- does anyone see this stuff making a comeback? Should I save these bags or sell while they are still somewhat desireable? I know fashion goes through cycles up and down, but the next question is- if it did make a comeback and get popular again, would you carry it all over again? Sometimes I find that doing a trend twice is a mistake, but I carried my Dooneys in college when they were trendy and carry them now so not sure if that applies in all cases. Now that I have rambled on, what are your thoughts?

I think what it boils down to is ...do you like the bags and whould ware them.If so then by all means keep them and enjoy them.
I'm old enough not to care what fashion dictates I ware and carry what I like, my taste runs more to classic styles that are timeless and I was never a fan of any kind of signature bag or attire but that is a personal preference I see plenty of people still proudly sporting there sig bags.
