That bumble bee is just so cute!
I am loving this cactus charm on my patchwork rogue, It fits so well and it was an outlet find!!!
some of them are just way too big/heavy and I would fear messing up my bag.
What Do You Think of the Larger Fobs and Charms?

I usually prefer the all-metal charms myself, but I also have some lovely leather charms. Right now I am carrying a favorite older bag, the Bleecker Flap Bag in Ink and I have decorated her with one of my most cherished Coach fobs, an all-leather Koi fish.
I agree, it is good thing that Coach make so many different styles and products, because we all have different tastes!
I've been thinking about that because I am not crazy about the dinosaurs but I love the robots - so go figure! It may be a generational difference. I grew up when Sci-Fi movies/shows were all the rage but many of the younger Coach fans grew up with Dinosaurs as a very popular attraction.
Katev! What bag is this?! I love it.
I love it too!
It's the Bleecker Flap bag 11419 B4 IK with the matching Bleecker Wallet 41549 B4 IK. They were made in 2007 and the color of my bag is Ink, but the Bleecker Flaps came in several colors including Bottle Green. The bag and the wallet have a gorgeous Tattersall lining.
I bought them cheap on Craigslist ($80 for both) and rehabbed them. You can see more photos, including pictures of the lining on my rehab post at the link below. I mistakenly identified it as a Bleecker Legacy Flap but it is simply called the Bleecker Flap Bag.
I hope that you find one, it's a great bag!

Thank you! I love your patchwork Rogue and your cactus looks really good against the dark leather!
I second that. It's my favorite bag. Here is a picture of some of the colors.

Thank you! Here are the two I ended up keeping.

Love these! I really miss those colors Coach used to have. Sometimes I think Coach is in a bit of a rut right now--Oxblood and more oxblood or dull browns and no rich browns or greens.
On the other hand, I save some money! 
Thank you. I love these colors too. They are so rich. They remind me of my vintage bags. They have a glow and the color has some depth, doesn't look flat. I want to like oxblood, but it is too dull, dark and brown for me, not the pretty burgundy I expected.Love these! I really miss those colors Coach used to have.

Ah, that is too bad...I love my Oxblood! But I tend to like more brownish red in oxblood bags, whereas I expect more purplish in burgundy colours. I had a Burgundy Nomad Crossbody for a hot second and I thought it leaned more towards red than purple, so that Coach colour may be an option for you?
And just because I want an excuse to post my Oxblood satchel lol.

lol! I have four gorgeous burgundy bags already - a Coach Rambler's Legacy from 1999, 2007 Bleecker large flap, Reed Krakoff 510 bag in cordovan, and Balenciaga in poupre. I don't NEED another one. I also like mahogany; I think your oxblood satchel looks closer to that color. I do like the look of the Nomad Crossbody - the regular Nomad was too big for me. I was tempted by the green.
I'll use this as an excuse to post my burgundy bags!

Hi Hobbsy,
I have picked them up here and there, some I removed from bags I purged earlier this year before I let them go. Some are leather, but most are faux. The one above is leather and came of a leather hobo I had that it came with (I can't remember the brand, it was just a nice soft leather...I think it might have been Rudsak/Atelier Noir). I got a few of them when I was picking up a piece of furniture someone was selling - they were holding a garage sale at same time and had a bunch of 'cheap' (think like Steve Madden and Jessica Simpson) bags which I had no interest in but a few of them had cute faux leather tassels. I asked if she would sell me just the tassels, and she did...I got like 6 or 7 of them for $3.00 CAD
I just broke off the "branding" or reconfigured them so I could remove it.They're really cute, I'll have to keep my eye out. Good thinking!!Hi Hobbsy,
