Guys, as I’ve noted, this bag was difficult to capture accurately — but hopefully you’ll get an idea of the overall look.

For starters, since Coach’s online photos show a great view of the bags interior, I focused mostly on exterior leather closeups and the actual holographic sequins that make up the heart, since I have seen NO details of the heart anywhere! I actually took a chance on ordering it, as there was no clear photo available anywhere — probably still isn’t.

Fortunately, I’m okay with the sequin colors, albeit I would have preferred a more Redish/Orange theme, especially since Valentine’s Day is nearing, plus it would have been a nicer contrast to the gray/metallic silver leather.

I hung it up on my shower curtain rod for easier access, using bright bathroom lighting. Parts of the straps are excluded to make the closeups easier to access. Also, note that even though we keep calling the leather gray, it IS more of a Smokey metallic silver...and a matted silver, NOT shiny. Anyway, since these photos are not going up on Ebay, I’m not looking for perfect shots.

LMK if you have any questions — Coach’s website accurately shows the interior and their mannequin model scales the size. You can see that it’s a Rogue 25, much smaller than regular size.

I believe that the heart details will be the most valuable closeup for potential buyers to see, since all other parts might not be dealbreakers, as they’re already revealed online. BTW, the extreme heart closeup is the more ACCURATE color of the sequins — the heart colors you see on the hanging bag are quite different than that one zoomed in shot...another example of how the holographic sequins vary from angle to angle ofbthe lens, altering the reflection colors...ugh!!

That is a great looking bag!
More importantly, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom 2 years ago at 96, your mom was 91...still a big loss. I'm glad you have family support. I still have my moments when I think "i would give anything to have one more day." Be well!

Great haul. I ordered the Charlie and wristlet but I'm still kicking myself for not getting the Lyla. That's what I get for trying to show restraint [emoji23]

Thank you! I totally understand. I've passed on the Lyla several times. The SAs at my outlet held this one for me and pulled it out when I arrived at the event on Saturday morning. I was so excited and with 70% off, I could not resist any longer. The colors in this hologram collection are amazing. I hope you are able to find it.

Yeah if it doesn't show up restocked on FOS I may bite the bullet and go the ebay route. The Lyla really is a great simple crossbody style.

@Hobbsy....my mom did make it to almost 94, so we’re happy that she had a long run. Your mom did well too, but as you said, you’d give anything to have another day with her. Thx for sharing that!

I'm so sorry for your loss. My MIL is 95. A few years ago, she said she knew she was going to live to 95. I don't know if she meant at least 95 or if she thinks the end is near. We're going to visit in a few months. Every time we go, we think it might be the last time, which is worrisome. I lost both of my parents many years ago. Both were in their 80s. I was with my mom the last time she was conscious and lucid. I told her I was going home and she said she was going home too.

I just got this one too! I love it. I live in a super hot climate in Summer/Fall, so this is going to be my hot weather Rogue. I can wear it long strap and away from my torso in the hot months whereas my regular Rogues are heavy and I can imagine will make me feel gross wearing them.

@whateve, I appreciate the story you shared about your own family. I’m guessing your MIL meant she’s going to live to at least 95, since you’re visiting her soon and she’s still around. But, yeah, when they hit their 90’s, any visit can be the final visit, sadly.

Do you think your mom was hinting that her end was near? Hopefully you’re remembering her better years when she was conscious and lucid. My dad only made it to 82, thanks to that evil killer, cancer. He was way too young, his mind was as sharp as a tack.

I hope your MIL ain’t going anywhere soon. :thumbsup:

Thank you. My mom had cancer. By that time it had spread everywhere and they were only giving palliative care. My dad was having trouble taking care of her. Even with my help, we were both weaklings and couldn't lift her easily. I was staying with them to help but he knew I couldn't leave my family for the long term so he found a family care facility for her. We had just settled her in there. She didn't want to be there. She had always said she didn't want to be put in a rest home. She only lasted there 2 days. I think she just gave up. Yes, I think when she said she was going home, she meant she was leaving this life. Before she got cancer, she had never been sick. My dad was the one with all the problems - high blood pressure, diabetes... yet he outlived her by several years. When he got really sick, he refused to go on dialysis and didn't last much longer after that. He died at home.
