Here are a few photos of the Cole Haan crossbody I found recently. Sorry, after I took the photos I realized I hadn't snapped the snaps at the bottom of the bag but unsnapped bag and all, these photos should at least give you an idea of the style, lol. They had it in black, this brown, and a really nice green color at my local outlet last week.

I saw this post and just had to get this bag, since I don't live in the US, it was so hard to get this bag because colehaan.com does not accept international credit card. I found mine on ebay and gladly the seller made an exception and sold it to me. I finally got it yesterday and am carrying it to work today. I LOVE IT! The leather, the organization, even the color is just perfect! :yahoo:

So glad you love it! Can you please indulge us and post a few photos? Maybe a shot of what you can fit inside? Very happy for you!:D
 
Here are pictures of the new Coach Hamptons Flap raisin which is in stores now. The color is a real berry purple.

Liz,

I haven't been excited about much Coach as done the last couple of years but I love the Hamptons flap. The berry is very pretty. The style number is 15400 for those interested. If they ever do this bag in black, I'm done for.
 
Ok, I couldn't resist this bag any longer. Our Cole Haan outlet received them in and I had an additional outlet coupon! As a longtime fan of flap messenger/convertible styles, this one ranks at the top for me. I really adore this bag and see it being something I can carry in all kinds of situations.

It's the aubergine CH Heritage Messenger. The true color is actually much darker and richer than these silly iPhone pics--I just wanted to show the overall bag and style.

And for those who love to keep their bags organized, this is wonderful because it has three distinct pockets plus an inside zipper pocket, multifunction pocket and outide pocket.

The messenger strap isn't attached right now but I love it and will use it often. I love how this bag can be carried on the shoulder, as a satchel or as a messenger (and it looks GOOD carried as a messenger, too!).

Gorgeous! thanks for the photos. Do you mind me asking how much this was at the CH outlet? I may swing by one this week.
 
Togal-- it was 220 with the Prime Outlet coupon. The aubergine is gorgeous and very versatile, I think.

Mrs. P-- the compartments rock! I love how organized this bag is, and it fits everything so well.

Karmen-- are we tempting you? Hehe...

LoveMiu-- I love how the Alexa looks. It is a gorgeous bag.
 
Just a fun aside, I noticed the character, Charlotte, on the TV show Private Practice was carrying the CH Heritage on last week's episode. I am really loving this bag and have started to carry it often. Glad to hear others like it as well. :smile1:

Thank You! I was planning to get the Green Card for the coupon discount. It's $50 off purchase over $249 at Cole Haan.

I can't believe I missed your post until now! Sorry for not having the time to take pictures of mine yet, but I am so glad you like this bag,too! I was originally going to get Aubergine as well because it's more of my color, but since I could only find Woodbury Tan on ebay at the time, I went for it immediately.

I feel this bag looks a lot better in real life than on pictures, don't you think so,too? After carrying it for a week, I feel I like the single handle very much, the drop is perfect on me. The detachable strap is still too long for my 5' height even when I adjust it to the shortest hole. Maybe that's why I always carry it with the single handle.

This is my first Cole Haan handbag and all I can say is, they have excellent leather and craftsmanship!
 
Tejava,

I still want to see your pics! The Woodbury is gorgeous and that color suits the style perfectly! I love the Woodbury leather.

And I agree that this bag is so much more gorgeous in person.
