Yes, I remember you liked the small Troupe Carryall. I love 1941 collection too.Yes! Yes! Thanks! I skipped the first time but then it popped up again and I was able to grab it. Then got the 15% adjustment too. And you know I always wanted the small black one as the 35 was too large. Even at the counter folks were complimenting. It is a well made and lovely bag but we all know the great quality of the 1941 collection.
So cute!Used my credit from the Coach (Re)Loved Exchange and grabbed this studio camera bag - blue bird. Another bag I can have fun with

Love the Map bag with varsity stripe.
Figuring out the actual color and the correct color name is one of the most frustrating parts of vintage bag collection IMO!
New resin strap!
Pros: the colors show up beautifully in the light
Cons: silver hardware (I don't mind mixing metals but some people might not!)
It is also incredibly squeaky, I'm going to try rubbing some dryer sheets or waxing the connections but might be a display chain mostly if it doesn't work.

Not sure about this strap. Very squeaky and how durable do you think it is? I really like the look though.
This hitch bag I love. @Teagaggle didn't you remove the strap somehow? I think if I cut the d ring off I can get a replacement on Amazon to make it removable or use my novelty straps?
Then just a couple small items I picked up on day 1 of the sale. Can't say no to a tearose charm and I love these little wallets.

Gorgeous items!! I find it easier to just use a seam ripper to remove bag straps. A few tugs and the stitches come right out, then I can easily use my novelty straps on the D rings. It is the easiest way for me.
My resin chain comes tomorrow as well as my hitch in white. I'll post photos & let you know my thoughts. Seems the link strap we were all waiting for may not be worth the wait!
I'm assuming you are good with the Hitch if you are planning on removing the strap. I'm undecided about my Hitch (assuming it arrives in good condition).
As for the d-rings, yes, I carefully cut the threads on my army green studio bag. Then, because the rings they used on the bag itself were rectangular & not a d-ring, hubby carefully cut them off with bolt cutters & I replaced them with d-rings I found on Amazon that screw in & the are perfect. I'll find a link & post it later. I do have extra dogleash clips that I'll use to attach to the strap from the studio bag so I can use it with the studio or other bags. Wow, that is long winded!
Yes the hitch is just the color I was looking for as a pop of fun this summer. I would like 1 extra pocket inside, but it's big enough for my needs and I love the ease of the magnetic closure. I'm thinking to either use bolt cutters on the d-ring and get a spring gate d-ring to use the original strap or novelty straps or do as @AstridRhapsody suggested and use a seam ripper to remove the strap. I am not crafty but I'm picturing being able to still use the strap if I add dogleash clips and just bolt the part I ripped back together...because I dare not try to sew...LOL
I had to hunt down this color at the outlets in my area and lucked out - one store had one left! The City Tote arrived today and I am in LOVE with this shade of purple!! It brings me so much joy, especially the flower pattern inside 
I also picked up the Coach organizer and it fits perfectly. I'm hoping this will be my new personal carry-on for traveling.

I've done the strap thing on a few. I used gorilla glue & a small clamp to hold the strap pieces around the dogleash clip. Once dried & strong, I did sew using a large needle & heavy duty thread just on the sides closest to where the dogleash clip attaches.
Gorgeous! Purple is my favorite color.I had to hunt down this color at the outlets in my area and lucked out - one store had one left! The City Tote arrived today and I am in LOVE with this shade of purple!! It brings me so much joy, especially the flower pattern inside

I hope they restock all the purples that sold out. Where do you get the Coach organizer?Gorgeous! Purple is my favorite color.
I purchased my insert at the outlet, but they also have it available on the outlet website - it comes in a dark color and light color.
Coach Tote Insert
Tali Bucket Bag with the leather strap it came with and the short strap from my Tate Carryall. It also came with a woven strap!
