I wasn't going to shop NAS this year, but the mustard Coach bag was calling to me persistently. It has so many of my requirements; adjustable crossbody strap, simple design, silver hardware, medium size, soft pebbled leaather, good quality, in a fun color that makes me happy and contrasts with most of my clothes.

My birthday being this week, I decided to splurge, and the bag came today. It's a beautiful bag. I will probably never use the shorter handle, which doesn't come off, but it tucks behind the purse if you want to wear it that way while using the crossbody strap. When you carry it by the shorter handle, it sort of folds or buckles in the middle, which doesn't happen with the long strap. The crossbody strap being narrow doesn't bother me at all. The interior has a nice big phone pocket. No zipper pocket, which kind of worried me at first, as I am used to those, but I can learn to live without one. It holds an amazing amount of stuff! It doesn't look any bigger than some other bags I have that hold half the amount. It comes with a tag and a silver C that dangle from it, but I removed those because I prefer no logos.

Here's a quick shot of it, throwing it on over today's hot weather outfit.

The color is a little darker and richer than it looks on my screen, but I love the color and the feel of the leather. For me, it's a keeper.
