Hi I love this style of bag and it is one I am eyeing up! I just wanted to get your thoughts about how easy to use - is it easy to get into the bag and is the kiss lock closure sturdy? It looks like it can fit a good amount!
What's in your COACH bag?

I agree! I was so excited when it looked like there was finally going to be something with cats, what a let down [emoji45] Don't they realize that they're are many Coach fans that are cat people too?!?
Thought I'd share what I'm carrying for date night. As I mentioned in another thread, I'm really digging my MFF Strawberry Mae.
-- Filofax mini classic organiser, black and Filofax Calipso ballpen, green (typical planner stuff along with identification, insurance cards)
-- Coach foldover card case, black (cards, money)
-- Aimee Kestenberg makeup bag (tissues, wet wipes, tampon, mirror, tweezers, nipper, hair ties, medication, hand sanitizer, lotion, floss, mints)
-- Sunglasses
-- Small Daiso pouch with earbuds
-- Kissing whale keychains (one with house and car keys, one with office key)
-- Blistex lip balm
I love seeing these what's in your bag pics! I have a Filofax too, but I've never seen a mini one! So cute! Now that I use smaller purses, I don't even keep the pocket size in my bag. I should take a look at the mini size sometime.
Cheating w/ a MK bag today, but this is what I (almost) always have in my bags:
- phone (not pictured)
- Coach phone wristlet, used as a wallet
- Coach coin purse, used as a makeup bag (I only wear concealer and red lipstick)
- reading glasses
- keys w/ a Coach hangtag as a keychain
I sometimes have an umbrella too, on rainy days, in bigger bags than the one pictured. I sometimes skip the wallet in little bags, like my Coach crossbody clutch.

The mini has been discontinued, but you can always find them on eBay. They are ridiculously expensive for the size, but at times you can find a decent deal. The size is perfect for me. I still prefer making lists on paper and writing appointments on the calendar. Also, I know this is insane, I don't like keeping contacts in my phone that I'm not close to. So, having the phone pages help for the numbers I don't use regularly, but enough to want to keep handy.
I just bought a new one on eBay in red. I've always liked black accessories in my purse. I don't need to have the accessories match the color of the bag, but I'm trying to be random and bought a red wallet and Filofax. Still have yet to use it. I've attached a pic here.
Thank you; this is adorable! I love colors inside a bag. I hope the new red is fun for you! I prefer to write things down too. My calendar is in the Filofax, and I have a larger one for a brain dump. I love going back to see ideas, goals, and the ones that came to fruition!
I do the same thing...I like to go back and revisit my old calendars. I save all of them and it's nice to see previous plans and special events. I sometimes debate getting rid of a planner and putting it all in my phone, but I love checking off things on a list. It's just so satisfying.
Lists are the only way I can remember it all. I list everything, grocery list, household chores, hurricane preparation, etc. And I do have a sense of accomplishment when I have everything on my chore / to do list scribbled off.
I don't save them all, but do keep the special pages. I know from experience I'd eventually get rid of them, and with the loose sheets I can save the ones I want to revisit. It must be so neat to have all of your old calendars though!
Maybe I'd be more organized with more lists.
So pretty! I ordered the regular 23 frame bag, which is about to arrive in a couple of days. Just wanted to know how you like wearing it so far?
Carrying my Floral Bloom Chelsea Crossbody.
Tealocean gave me the push I needed to swap out my black classic Filofax for my red Belgravia Filofax and my black Foldover card case for my washed red envelope card case. Everything else is the same. I tend to carry all black accessories, but decided to mix it up. Also got a new keychain from the hospital gift shop.

Looking good, and they go with the sweet blooms on your bag! How are you liking the pop of color in your bag?
Thank you! Surprisingly, I'm loving the color. I love looking in my purse and seeing the pretty splash of red. I do appreciate you giving me input, sometimes all you need is a little push to try something new.
