My Coach X Keith Haring Mailbox Bag came today. It's a beautiful Crimson red. The leather looks and smells delicious. It's HUGE and it's super heavy. The only way to carry it would be hand or the crook of the arm, with it being so heavy I don't think anyone could carry it that way for very long. I tried putting it on my shoulder but the wide straps kept slipping off and the handbag stuck out awkwardly. A BIG negative is the opening. It's just a tiny slit that I scratched my knuckles trying to stick my hand into. You seriously can't even see inside the bag , even if you try to stretch it because the opening is so tight. This seems more like a luggage item than a handbag for daily use.

That is disappointing. I'm glad I resisted. It looks so pretty but with those drawbacks it wouldn't work for me. I wish I could just get the hangtag. Will you be keeping it?

Wow thanks for all the info! Does it have printed lining or is it unlined?

That's a shame. The color is TDF & it looks really well made. However, I completely get you as it relates to the opening of the bag scratching the knuckles. I've had that and it's typically a deal-breaker for me. Thanks for sharing though! I think it's the first reveal of this bag.

It may be that the bag opening stretches with use. Also, consider waxing the zipper to ease the opening. (But check this procedure on the web, maybe on a sewing site. I haven't used it). I don't think of Coach leathers as stiff.

That’s too bad because I love the color and style! Also, the hangtag!

Wow, after reading your description before the pics loaded, I couldn't agree more with you about knuckles scratching on the bag opening! But truly it's a gorgeous bag- everything about it!!! I wouldn't have thought to get it waxed- great idea. Pls keep us posted!

It's too heavy and that zip opening is dreadful. Sadly I must return it. I wish I had a scale to weigh it. It has to be the heaviest bag I ever had. The color and leather is divine.

It is well made. Maybe they'll come out with slightly smaller version. The leather and color are perfect. The huge size, the kiss locks and the embellishments on the hang tag make the bag extremely heavy.
 
I am not quite sure why I bought this, as I am not a musician and I don't own a guitar; but it is cute and it only cost $25 on Poshmark. And if I don't wear it as a necklace it would still make an adorable purse charm!

It is the Poppy Stone Guitar Neckace 95069 that originally sold for $98. I wasn't sure about condition from the auction pictures so I was really pleased when it arrived in great shape!

I LOVE this!! Congrats on the great deal you got! Boy, would that make an amazing bag charm!! :tup:

Obviously, the chain would need shortening, but it’s soooo cool!

I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you — I’m still reeling over the Rexy Tote 38 (color) not working for me. It does sound like it might work solely as a carry-on or weekender bag, which is so limited! The leather and color are TDF, as is the hangtag! I hope soon you find a more suitable bag. :thumbsup:

I’d buy every KH hangtag that comes with these bags, if only they sold a set — or even separately.

Scored this little cutie for a steal!! Needed something to put in my work tote that I could use for after work happy hours and quick stops. Something that can hold my phone and the essentials. Plus can put on strap to wear crossbody. LOVE the detailing on the side!!! Nolita 19 in Mineral!

Oh, that's gorgeous! I've been toying with something in mineral for a while and keep going back and forth between that, the crossbody clutch, and the slim accordion zip wallet. I'm not sure which to get! The Nolita holds more than the other two, but the wallet I can toss inside a bag (matching, of course, or at least close to it! ;D) and the crossbody clutch is more of wallet-on-a-chain so it doesn't seem as practical unless I'm not carrying anything else (which I never do), but... ahh! Decisions.

Regardless, congrats! Is the color about as true as the color on the website? It always looks super dark online but not quite as much in your pictures.
