Super bummed with my new Beechwood Shoulderbag Rogue (darn strap won’t stay on my shoulder !) . I just got my Tearose Beechwood charm and the plan was to put on the Rogue. I think it goes well with my new Brookyln 28 what do you all think?View attachment 4314684 View attachment 4314685

I have been eyeing this charm and I finally caved and ordered it. Whoopsy. But it looks awesome on your bag :biggrin:

I was thinking of getting this chain for my bag, does it match the brass hardware well? Ive only seen the chain online.

Hi belle, I’m sorry to be so late in getting back to you.

I think it’s a very pretty chain but more of a “matte” finish than shiny. It’s not a perfect match for the brass hardware from earlier bags. But I think it suits our Rose Dinky very well as the chain seems to pick up on the pink glow from the leather.

The Dinky is tiny for me. My daily bag is usually a Speedy, alternating with my Coach Rogue, Borough or Charlie, all in the regular/medium size.

Right now I’m using the Dinky as an evening bag. I only put my LV cles, iPhone 6 and slim perfume and lipstick in it. DH has to carry the keys.

I also have a Dinky 24 which is better for me but I couldn’t resist the Rose colour.

It looks a little darker in the picture than it actually is. I think it is British tan. It doesn't match any of my Bleeckers but it is closest to my woven pocket hobo, which I thought was mahogany but really looks like a dark British tan. I think the wine version of the wallet would be beautiful too. I couldn't pass this up - it was only $20 shipped and in much better condition than I expected.

My new-to-me Bleecker Woven Pocket Hobo is supposed to arrive by Saturday night and I am very excited, but I am still unsure about the color. I've been trying to find the bag on Wayback but I have been unsuccessful. I think it came out in Spring/Summer 2008. I've found pics of the bag online in a dark mahogany, but the (poor quality) auction pics for my bag don't look that dark - but maybe it is just the lighting, or the bag is a bit dry and faded.

Maybe I will try calling Coach CS and see if they will tell me the names of the available colors.

As I've said, I have also seen versions of the bag online called "Whiskey" that are a little too dark for British Tan but too light for Mahogany - but like you've said - Whiskey was a Legacy color. So, it's a mystery!

Here's one on ebay that is just called "Brown" and it looks like a dark British Tan:

Oh well, I can't wait to see it, I'm sure that I will love it whatever the color. I hope that it rehabs well - and I also hope the winter storm and the holiday don't cause any delays in the deliveries!

Hi, katev & whateve! Beautiful Bleecker bags! And great wallet, whateve!

I was wondering if you’d seen these old threads & if they might be of some help. I believe I only saw ‘Mahogany’ & ‘Metallic’ mentioned in the posts about these bags from 2008.

BTW, I've finally found the Bleecker Woven Pocket Hobo 12378 on the Wayback Machine from August and September 2008. I am now able to confirm that it only came in Mahogany ($458) and Metallic ($558). The Mahogany bag is made of leather trimmed with nappa, and the metallic bag is made of "Cuban Leather" (whatever that is?!") Thanks again for all the help and see the screen shots below.

Coach also made a woven, slim envelope wallet as an accessory for these bags.
