What's in your COACH bag?

[RuedeNesle]

Hi RN! I love all that red and the little chalk wristlet in there! I enjoy little notebooks too. I used a Moleskine for a while and love those, but right now I use a refillable planner. I have a pad of paper from Clairefontaine (Triomphe) but haven't seen their books. That's funny about having multiples with a couple pages used. That's one reason I love the refillable ones; so I can move things around as needed. lol! Thanks for the peek in your bag.

Hi TO!
You're welcome!
My "problem" is I try to downsize my bags to carry when I'm walking or taking buses in the city. Sometimes my current notebook is too big for my walking bags so I switch to one that fits all the bags I'm currently carrying. Then I think the notebook is too small when I carry a bigger bag. Added to that, I go through phases where I want a notebook with perforated pages. If I see a notebook with perforated pages I'll try to make it work, even though it may be too big/small, or it may not have grid lines.

I know what you mean about them not fitting. I don't always have room for even the small ones in very small bags, but if I really want to, I can usually squeeze a slim one in there.

Here's what fits inside Emery 21. Not pictured are my phone and my sunglasses. The sunglasses fit without a case but it requires a bit of Tetris.

I'm so happy you posted this. I was going to ask when I saw your bag in the "What bag are you carrying?" thread. I do think it may be a bit small for me, but it's such a pretty color and silhouette.

I have the same issue (kind of) but with my planner. I still can't manage to switch to a digital planner (it's just so much BETTER to make hand-written notes, for me) and I tend to gravitate towards the medium-sized planners that are about 8x5. It's a great size for the actual writing--not so much for downsizing.

And if I AM taking my planner with me, I might as well also take my medium 8x5 notebook too...

LOL! I love writing things down too. Thankfully I don't carry my planner around unless I'm going somewhere to write in it. We need to start a paper and planner thread or is there one already? There is a pen thread in here.

I've been trying to distance myself from my planner more with that in mind!

Planner thread "how big is it? what does it look like? What do you use it for?" ("are you also an overpacker?")

Hi Saaski and TO!
I keep my Moleskine notebook that I use as my planner in my bag Monday-Friday. I don't have a hectic schedule, in fact most days are the same old, same old, But the ONE time I'm out and about and someone asks me about doing something on a certain day, I have to write it in my Moleskine! Even though I have a notebook with me, it's not the same thing.

Thank you! Truthfully, I could do with a bit more room but I love it so I'm making it work. It wouldn't have worked as well before when my wallet was bigger. The only problem I have with small bags is having to take things out to get to other things. I don't have to do that with bigger purses.

Here's what's in my Cassie. I've avoided this bag for awhile, because i didn't think it would fit my daily essentials. I don't like when purses bulge too much. I watch the "What's in my bag" youtube videos a lot and when I see a Cassie overstuffed and forced shut, it makes me cringe. The bag is not too wide, so I didn't think my essentials pouch (the widest item I keep) would fit, but surprisingly, it worked well. Fortunately, I did a trial on a display Cassie at Macy's. Same stuff: mini Filofax, mini skinny, sunglasses, essentials pouch, lip balm, keys, earbuds, and a new pack of gum my bf bought (and forgot) and asked to keep in my purse. I included a side view of the bag with it loaded to show it the compartments don't spread out too much.

Cassie is surprisingly roomy! Yours doesn't look overstuffed at all. And the color is so beautiful.

Thank you! I've been searching for an oxblood colored bag. I'm glad I got this one.

TO, you know how much I love this thread. Thank you, as always.

Carrying my Swagger again. I forgot how much I loved this bag.

Hi, can you please tell me what the interesting little bag with the music note holds. I like the design and shape.

Thanks
