I received my Coach bag this morning, and it's just what I wanted. It arrived in a box that was wide open! I feel so lucky that it didn't fall out. In case anyone else is interested, here are my observations.
The color is a lovely soft white, not too yellow or too blue. The hardware is a matte gold, which I prefer to shiny gold. The size is exactly the same as the mustard one I got last year; it works for me well because I'm short and it holds more than you would guess. The length is actually 11 inches across although the website says 10.
Improvements: the pocket inside is a zipper pocket now, yay! That was one of my few complaints last year with the mustard bag which only had an open pocket inside. Also, the crossbody strap on this new bag is slightly wider, but not too wide at 5/8 inch.
My one complaint with this bag is that the end of the zipper is flipped up now, which looks a bit cluttered to me as it lies against the hardware for the two straps. Last year, the end of the zipper was tucked in. I cannot force this one to tuck in. Oh well, it's a minor complaint!
Can't wait to wear this bag, and it does go with so much! So based on what I can tell so far, I recommend it, if anyone is thinking about adding a simple bag.
