Went to the
Coach store in the Multiplaza mall in Panama City, Panama last week. They still have a sale going on and I was able to get the melon Swagger on sale. It's still full price on the website in the US. I also have the melon Rogue so I guess there's just something about that color that's just grown on me. For the Swagger fans, I absolutely love the new design of the Swagger 27. I had the oxblood Swagger 27 at one time but I didn't like that it had only one section so I gave it to my stepdaughter. This new design has three sections like the Rogue and also a pocket in the back of the bag. The two side pockets are also lined in leather.
While I was there I also saw a new Swagger in what seemed to be a beechwood color that had links instead of the strap that goes around the bag with the turnlocks. I haven't seen that on the US website yet. I almost bought it but the strip of leather on the sides and the long strap were a mustardy yellow color that I didn't care for.

They also changed the position where the long strap attaches to the bag and used dog leash clips instead. No more accidents with the strap unclipping at the wrong time!

And the strap adjustment is redesigned. Whoever came up with this is a genius! It is all one continuous loop so that you don't have the end of the strap sticking out awkwardly when you shorten it.

I am absolutely in love with this bag!
