It's just a small reveal, but in keeping with my love of Coach blues, I decided to purchase a Coach 1941 clutch in glove tanned leather. I love the old brass hardware and denim coloured leather. It's very smooth and lovely to touch!
That is such a pretty blue.

This is my new to me vintage coach belmont!

Good evening all!

I admit to being a wee bit of a handbag snob and I used to heavily dislike Coach handbags as I felt they went a direction which i couldnt jive with. I have a Coach Swagger 27 which I purchased as my "dump" bag...but it's not. I got it in the soft leather which slouches so I'm paranoid it'll get ruined. Anyway I know the rep Coach Outlet has and the few times I've gone into one I was turned off. Anyway I was out at the Outlet mall today for back to school shopping for my kidlet and randomly went into the outlet Coach and I actually found a handbag there which totally called to me. I examined it really well and I'd say the quality isnt too far off from the Coach Boutique handbags. It's quite sturdy but has "ladybag" details. Im incredibly picky about my handbags...I look at things probably most buyers don't even consider down to the lining and the stitch width. Overall it's a surprisingly high quality handbag for an outlet! I purchased it to be my new "dump" bag but I think it'll probably see heavy rotation...Won't need to worry about rain or snow or dirt.

The handbag is the Small Margot in oxblood...which is a great fall/winter tone! I attached my LV key holder to the cloche...which I'm using inside the bag as my keyhole. Voila. Quite nice. I didn't think it was really a made for outlet bag but alas the tag has the bullseye after it says Made in Vietnam. I hope it lasts..

Yes I also purchased a massive wool plaid shawl...it's so thick and soft, way nicer feeling than a burberry...

Very pretty! My friend has a small Margot. It is a great bag and has held up or her very well!
 
Husband surprised me with an early anniversary present! I saw this one at Dillard's and fell in love with the hardware. This is my third black Swagger and wasn't sure at first I could justify a third, but this one is the soft grain leather and is different enough from the other two. Also the fact that he remembered and went out on his own to buy it means a lot. I really love this bag!

Happy Anniversary!!! What a sweet husband. I LOVE this bag and have been torn between this one and the pebbled leather. Do you think this is lighter weight than the other?

Thank you! It is lighter than the pebbled version. I'm not sure how much lighter, but holding both bags, I can barely feel the weight of this one vs. the pebbled. The thing that drew me to this bag was the shiny gunmetal hardware. The pebbled version has matte black hardware, which I felt would scratch more easily. The zipper on the soft Swagger is also a million times better. it doesn't break away so it's not a pain in the butt to zip the bag after being completely unzipped. With that said, you couldn't go wrong with either bag. I like the pebbled and soft versions equally. Good luck deciding!
