Nice! Im glad I'm not the only one with multiples. Besides the 5 dinky, I have 7 saddle bag and 6 swaggers. At one point I had 13 borough bags, but I'm down to 3 now. Phew. The rest of my multiples end at around 2 or 3 of each.
As you know I have the same three regular Rogues
My Olive was my first. I can't really rank them in order of preference as I do love them all and the one I love more in any moment seems to just depend what I am carrying at the moment, ha ha. I love the Olive colour but have not really carried her as she does not seem to fit when it is nearly 40 Celsius outside! I think she will get far more wear come fall/winter and move more to the top of my rotation.I agree with buying multiples. I really am trying to move away from that. I don't regret having the three Rogues I do though as I really do think they are the perfect bag (and I actually also add my Rogue 25 and two Rogue Satchels in here as they are perfect bags too for me at other times/purposes). But, I am trying to make sure I don't buy more multiples of bags I don't love-love, or don't get as much use of due to their functionality/size (for example, I love my saddle 23 and whiplash saddle, but I just don't use them to justify more than one of each...despite great deals in FOS....whereas I can justify three Rogues because I can happily and practically use them 5-7 days a week).
I do keep an eye on my cost per wear, and I realize I would rather have one type/model of bag I wear at least fairly often where it suits the circumstances, than multiples of the same bag and feel "torn" as to what I carry - such as feel like I need to carry the bag I wear less often to justify having it, even if I prefer the other one I do wear more often more. Not sure that makes any sense when typed out, but it does in my head, ha ha.

I used to have 7 Madison Sophias, now I'm down to 2. At this point, I wouldn't buy more than 3 of one style, especially a new style. I think you fall in love when the style is new, but there is always something that comes along later that you end up loving.
Got the swagger shoulder bag for my GFs graduation present during the SAS and she loves it. Its great for date night or day trips when she doesn't really need more than the essentials.
At our local Burlington we found the Kingston Chukka shoes for $40 and the matching skull banana wallet for the GF also for $40. It was or first time seeing anything coach at Burlington, but now we are always on the lookout

Congrat! All 3 items are very nice. I really love the shoes. I hope she enjoys them all.
Today, I picked up my Hudson Tote in Saddle color. K.E.W. is right because the bag smells so good. Love that new leather smell.
Also, purchased some Keith Haring items. See the pictures in the Keith Haring thread.

I came back from my vacation today and the red Rogue 25 (the bag I had bought a couple weeks ago with my birthday money) was waiting for me. It is beautiful and in excellent condition (and timely with the main pages post about bright red bags being the Fall 2017 trend) but it is not looooove. Not like with my Chalk Rogue 25, anyway. I can't even explain why because the colour really is great, and of course I love the size of the Rogue 25. It just does not give me that "squeeeeeee!" I felt when I opened the Chalk Rogue 25. I think in part it is because I am a bit of a sucker for the contrast handles/straps etc. like on my other Rogues. It is not cheap to ship back from Canada, but I am just going to return it. I just can't keep things I don't love, or don't at least find useful (it won't fill any space missing in my collection since I have the Chalk one). I considered exchanging it for the black, but I could use that $800 Canadian to go towards paying for another July purchase I made.
Even though I am not keeping, I thought I would post a picture of her next to my Chalk Rogue 25

Oh no! I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. Your situation is kind of similar to mine. I originally chose the chalk 25 over red because of the contrast. It just adds so much to the bag. I just couldn't stop thinking about that red, though, even though I was head over heels for the chalk. I love them both, but can totally see where you're coming from regarding the lack of contrast.
I found a pristine Swagger 27 in Azure at Nordstrom Rack. The hardware even has the film on it still, and has the dustbag too. $219.

Congrats! They've had one at my local Rack for weeks. I'm always surprised its still there. If I were a Swagger girl, I'd have snapped it up. Disappointed in their lack of Coach items...but happy you snagged one! Love the blue & the silver hardware! Enjoy!
Here is my Cherry Print tiny pouch, which I'll use as a purse charm. Just for the reveal, I draped it over my Mustard Hudson Tote by its long detachable leather link strap, so you get an idea of its size. When I do carry it as a charm I'll detach the strap and replace it with some spare dog leash clips or something else much shorter than this strap. I took closeups from different angles -- the front, back, and side view. The interior is too tiny to shoot so I left the pouch open to reveal the layout. I had planned all along to make this a purse charm, as it's capacity limits it to carrying nothing more than a few coins. Or maybe a small key, like for a mailbox or a gym locker.
I love the silhouette and the whole mini kisslock frame concept. I may have to get the other forthcoming patterns when they're released, I'll see how it works out as a charm. If it rattles or moves around around too much when I'm walking, I may have to scratch that idea, lol.
I removed the tiny white hangtag that comes with this coin purse -- it detracted from the views.
