I've been eyeing this for weeks but it kept showing as sold out. Popped back online a few days ago so I snagged it with my 20%. The colors are absolutely gorgeous!! I'm afraid of the chalk leather on the back though. Not sure if I should exchange for the larger version with black on the back because that one doesn't have the beautiful purple snake color on it.

I love all your other Coach goodies in the background, too!

So Bloomingdales has this stock photo with a purple snakeskin in the middle of the larger version. Do you think it might be the same just different lighting?

My other thought is the purple snakeskin is an ombré and depending on how they cut it you get the more plum or more blueish purple. The right side of the middle snakeskin sort of looks like the right side of your bag?

Thanks!!
My boutique had 2 of this larger size and both were a burgundy in the middle. Bloomingdale's stock pic is incorrect with the long strap, it's just plain black and not snakeskin. There are also 2 versions of the little tabby snake clutch. Of course the one with the pretty purple is chalk and the black leather clutch has the burgundy snake. I wish I could somehow combine the 2!!

Ordered the Troupe Tote 16 after seeing pics of someone else's and, like them, I'm probably going to end up returning. I wanted a simple black bag and the Central Shopper Tote still has a TON of room left over after I put my daily essentials in, so I was thinking this bag was going to be slightly smaller than that one.

Boy, was I wrong. This thing is T-I-N-Y. Attached are pics of my essentials (minus phone, which was used to take the pictures) as well as a front and two side views (one open, one closed). It's also ENTIRELY glovetanned leather, which means it's going to show every little scratch and nick. Note that I used a card case in-store when I tried my stuff in it and that the wallet is there for "space remaining" purposes as there would be a phone plus card case. Also, the cosmetic case used is a tinier version of the one I usually carry (larger, canvas, can fit my eyeglass cleaner which is too tall for the smallest one).

I think I will be returning her and using those funds for some items I want that are included in the Thanksgiving event (like the Central Shopper Tote? :confused1:).

Oh no! I just ordered the red today for PCE. The pics SA sent next to dinky made it look the same size as the Willis 18. I guess I'll find out tomorrow. I hope you find the plain black bag you're looking for :)
 
WAIT.

They gave you PCE discount on it? I was told it wasn't included because it's December floorset. I mean, it's irrelevant 'cause I'm going to return, but still.
Yes it discounted. I don't know if it was supposed to, but my SA always tries the sku to see if it will. This was in her store so I don't know if that matters either... pushing discount through at register vs. ordering through JAX?

It's also weird that your SA was able to order it for you. Mine tried and the found system wouldn't push the order through despite there being plenty of quantity in JAX.

Hrm.

Oh well. I hope you enjoy yours.
2 of the full size Troupes on the website are marked as being able to use the coupon. None of the 16s are. It seems random.

The bag was in her store so she didn't have to order. I didn't even know these were out yet so was surprised when she said she had it. I'm guessing that is why she could discount it. My receipt says 30% standard vs. 30% customers event or whatever it usually says.

Not sure this size is going to work for me. I don't know how many tiny bags I need.

It’s so cute :heart: I love mini bag.
Is the lining fabric or suede?
