My new Nomad crossbody in dark cherry! I have been wanting a red bag for a long time because I'm boring and only have brown or black bags (and one purple, also a Nomad). This is by far my favorite bag from Coach; it's the perfect size, shape, weight, etc., for me. I love it so much this is my third one, my first two being aubergine and burnished saddle. I probably would have at some point bought the black, but I hate gold hardware and Coach's black bags and slgs regrettably have practically nothing but ghw.

I love this color because in certain lights it looks like a vibrant but still deep red, and in others it is a much darker, and lovely shade of burgundy. With the rest of my Nomad family,

I still have to cut the shoulder strap off, then she will be ready for use. I never used the shoulder strap on my Nomads, since I strictly carry only crossbody, and once I finally mustered up the courage to cut them off, I found I used the bags even more since the strap wasn't in the way and the silhouette just looked so much better. So happy with it, and I feel a little closer to purse peace haha.

Thanks! I am 5'10. I always have to consider the strap length for bags I purchase, because I dislike for my bags to hang above my hip as seems to be the norm. It just feels weird. I like them to hang right at or a little below my hip. So I have to have strap drops of at least 23", and prefer 24 or 25". Which can be problematic, since Coach's strap drops usually hover around 21-22". In the pic I took of the three bags, you can see an additional ring hanging on my saddle Nomad. I bought some extra rings (in both silver and gunmetal) from the website Mautto to attach to my bags so the strap drop is a little longer and more comfortable for me to wear.

I understand completely about adapting the bag and how much it helps. A long time ago I started shortening the crossbody straps on my satchels. I hand carry but do need to shoulder carry occasionally. So when the strap is shorter it doesn’t hang so far below the bag. Once I did that it made all of my bags more functional. I am glad you have found a way to make your bags work.

It really does make you enjoy the bag more! And feel a little sense of accomplishment for adapting it to fit your own needs better.

Cool thanks for the reply. I am 5'4 and have the opposite problem but my favorite carrying method is crossbody. I also like high quality leather and light. So I am kinda of looking for a unicorn.
