The Coach Bag is Here - YouLookFab Forum

Hello.

The Coach bag I talked about in this post (third outfit) is here.

As I anticipated, the shoulder strap is too wide for my sloped shoulders and slides off, but the bag also has a crossbody strap, and that fits perfectly. I really appreciate that this bag is big enough to carry all my things, yet streamlined enough to not add a lot of bulk at the hip when worn crossbody.

It's actually cold enough to layer this morning, so I'm breaking out the new bag right away.

Thanks for looking!

What a gorgeous bag! It is the perfect medium size. It looks wonderful with the blue outfit. You look great!

Dee

Nice streamline bag, I always prefer being hands- free with a crossbody. Cute sporty blue combo too.

ChristelJ

Yay! I got this same bag this summer, and I was hoping you would like it as much as I do. It looks fab, and I agree it's quite roomy yet streamlined. I like your various blues, too.

Nice bag, looks sharp, but my favorite piece is the plaid shirt!

Very nice! good proportions on you, and pretty lighter color.
I have the slightly larger version of this bag, (the Turnlock hobo) that I have been carrying daily for the last month or so... Its great to have room for all the daily stuff--and the soft yet structured style is comfortable to carry. I added an embroidered crossbody strap for a little pattern play

Fun bag. I have their Rowan Satchel in a couple of colors; I duplicated it because it was the perfect size for everyday and holds my wallet, phone and sunglasses.

KILLER fab new bag, Lisa! It's perfect for you, and with your smashing blue outfits

The top handle that falls off your shoulders comes off, I think - and you can get a wider guitar strap for the bag if you like that idea. Coach makes some too.

Lisa

Katerina - Thank you for the kind words and for looking!

Dee - *high five for crossbody bag love* My collection of crossbody bags has slowly grown over time because they are just so easy to use.

ChristelJ - Your NAS post first introduced me to this bag. Thank you. It's taken me a while to pull the trigger, because I bought quite a few things during NAS this year. I was delighted this bag was still available. Did you ever get matching cream/ivory footwear? I plan to use my bag with white sneakers.

cjh - *high five fellow plaid shirt fan* I've never met a plaid shirt I didn't like. I have a soft spot for them, especially when paired with sneakers.

rebekahphoto - How fun that you have a larger version of this bag. It's soft and light weight, and I adore the pebbled leather.

cat2 - The Coach Rowan Satchel is a beautiful bag, I can see why you would duplicate it. I'm also a fan of duplicating bags and have done so with the Tumi Ruma line, it's a great crossbody travel bag.

Angie - *happily collects killer rating for new fab bag* This bag is going to be a great addition to my bag collection. It looks lovely paired with blues.

I checked but the shorter strap does not come off the bag. I'll have to look at guitar straps sometime, swapping the crossbody strap for a guitar strap is a fun idea! Thanks!

Jaime

Great looking bag, and works really well with your outfit!

Star

Nice! Definitely will be super versatile. Looking good in your blues.

So cute! I like how you made a “suit” out of comfortable fabrics, but looking more polished.

How are you finding the shirt quality? I like one of the other plaids, and can usually manage laundering rayon—I like the drape of rayon blouses for me, so it can be worth it. But worried about the varying reviews. And how much to size up.

Joy

Lovely bag!

Jaime and Star - Thanks for looking!

unfrumped - I adore matching sets, and am delighted to sport a "suit" made from a combination of individual pieces.

This is my first Caslon plaid shirt and I'm wearing a size Small. I found it runs slightly larger than a Rails shirt (of which I also wear a Small). I would say the Caslon is slightly larger than a regular size Small, comparing this Caslon shirt to my Rails shirts, the Caslon has slightly longer sleeves and torso, but a size down would have made it too tight across my upper back and shoulders (I have broad shoulders). If you like the fit I have here, which is slightly oversized, go with your usual size. If you want a more streamlined fit and do not have broad shoulders, I'd go a size down.

I haven't washed this shirt yet (I usually Febreze in between wears so I don't have to wash Rayon shirts that often). For my Rails shirts which are also Rayon, I typically hand wash in cold water and air dry. I hope that's helpful.

Joy - Thanks for looking!

What a great bag and dynamite outfit! The new bag seems really versatile for you, as it can go sporty to more polished. With this outfit, the blazer and bag together give a little polish to the more casual plaid shirt, joggers, and sneakers.

Roberta

Love the bag, and it looks so creamy against the blues and purples.

Firecracker (Sharan) - I agree, I think this bag is a great addition to my collection. And the bag and knit blazer take this casual outfit to "elevated casual" or maybe "polished casual." Thanks for looking!

Roberta - I also think this bag will work well with my heavy blue based wardrobe. Thanks for looking!

Lisa, thank you so much for the info.

Beautiful bag. I’m a Coach bag lady, too, but mine are ++ older

unfrumped - I'm happy to help! Good luck with your shirt shopping!

Runcarla - *high five for Coach bag love* Coach makes a beautiful bag, your red/wine Coach bag is lovely.
