Thanks! They are very similar but the Tango strap is slightly shorter than the Scooter. I am able to wear both of them crossbody quite comfortably but I am short.

Of the two styles I prefer the Scooter because it is a little roomier, but they are both fine for carrying "just the essentials" hands-free. The Tango does have a rear outside slip pocket so that is a nice feature.

Thank you, this is so helpful! I’m tall with long torso, so this is probably not the bag for me. Dang it, it’s so cute!

Love the warm tones in those bags; what beautiful creamy colors. What brown is the dark brown? It is Brown or Mahogany? The silver turnlock is a surprisingly nice contrast!

I’ve come to the realization that straps closer to 50”+ in length are best for me. I have a green Quincey #9919 that is a favorite small bag with a drop of 52”, but I’m trying to find a small, casual, low-profile north-south for walks. I’m not sure one exists. :confused1:

If you are looking for a small bag with a looong strap, then the Italian-made Coach Gracie bag (4413) might work for you. It is a very cute small bag with a 59" strap (the Scooter strap is 50") but the Gracie bag is more structured than the Scooter or the Tango. I have a little Gracie and I love it but mine was missing the strap so I had to substitute a shorter chain strap.

This is so pretty! A little dressier than what I was looking for right now, but this would make a lovely special bag. My go-to bags right now are the Quincey or a Willis solely due to strap length or my Handle Backpack so I don’t need to fuss with a strap.

And, dang it, wouldn’t you know I just passed on a Gracie and it’s now sold. :facepalm: Oh well, happy hunting to me!

Thank you for both replies!

ahh..another person whos not a fan of BT...I believe there are few of us...
And yet I got a BT bellacourt...go figure!

With the rarer styles, you gotta take whatever colour’s being offered or risk regret if you don’t find the style again or it’s too expensive lol. Even though it’s BT, it’s still a Bella court so you made the right call! :lol:

It grew on me :lol: :nuts:
 
Not both vintage (yet...) but I had remarked to @whateve and @Coachaddict4020 that the Cassie 19 looks similar to the Collegiate... here's a few quick snaps I was able to take of the collegiate with the Cassie 19 I gifted my mother. Sorry for quality.

eta I just realised they're actually built similarly too - main compartment, front pocket, interior back slip pocket, back full length slip pocket.
