Happy Friday! It's also July. I can't believe it. Was it just me or did June fly by? Pride month just wrapped up and this Coach bag was part of their 2021 Pride Collection. This is a super cute rainbow quilted clutch that feels as soft as it looks. It reminds me of those puffy jackets I used to have back in the day where I just want to squeeze it! 😆 I ordered this from Coach because I just had to see it in person.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall.
This bag is small, and it's definitely on the tiny side. It's best used as a clutch for a fun night out. I would not want to use this bag as an everyday bag. The inside is just too tiny to fit everything I need everyday. The dimensions are 8 inches wide by 4.5 inches high and 3 inches deep. The rainbow colors are not quite as vibrant as I thought they would be. They almost look a little bit pastel in these photos. The red is more of a magenta and the purple is kind of a medium lavender. So if you're looking for true red or deep vibrant colors, this may disappoint you. I will say this is a gorgeous bag and as usual, the Coach quality is there.
This bag does have an adjustable and removable crossbody strap which is very handy, but it's not as easy to remove or add back on. I wish it had dog clips like my other Coach bags but this one is more complicated which I'll go into more detail later in this post.
The hangtag is super cute with each letter a different color of the rainbow. The Nappa leather quilting is very soft and poofy. The bag has a turnlock closure which can be hard to use with one hand. The actual turnlock is pretty small even for me. On the back of the bag is a pocket but it is tiny. It will not hold a phone. I would say it would be best used for some bills or receipts.
The top handle on the bag I received was slightly uneven. I think it was bent during shipment. It did not come inside a gift box, it was shipped in a box not much bigger than the bag. It's a little unfortunate they were not more careful with the packaging which is surprising for Coach.
The bag does not have any feet and it is quite small measuring 3 inches deep.
The inside is lined with beautiful burgundy leather.
There is one inside pocket with a zipper.
Here is how the strap attaches to the bag. There are two loops underneath the flap where the strap goes through. It did take a little time to adjust the bag strap the way I liked it. If you're in a hurry, this would not be quick and easy.
So what does fit inside the bag? I could squeeze in my key holder and my two card cases but not much else. Getting my iPhone 12 Pro would be a challenge. If I wanted to fit my phone in there I would have to remove an item. Or I could place one of the card holders in the back pocket, but I didn't feel like it was super secure and safe to do so.
There is one main compartment and a smaller pocket for a thin card case or something similar in size.
A bit risky? Maybe.
Verdict? It is super cute. I was very tempted to keep it as a limited edition collector's piece, but my rational side won and said it was too much effort to have to think about what can fit, how I could get things to fit and the shoulder strap not being easy to remove and re-attach was ultimately the reason why I returned this cutie! It does make a great display piece though.
That's it for me! If you're in the US, have a great 4th of July! I'll be back on Monday with something new.

The bag is super cute! It doesn’t look that small on you probably because of the quilted puffy look. Colors are not as vibrant as expected but they are very soothing to me. Too bad it’s not functional but if you have money to spare, this will be a good collector item! :D
ReplyDeleteAgreed Andrea! The inside is definitely much smaller than it looks. I almost wanted to keep it as a display piece!
DeleteThis bag is super cute and didn't know Coach was doing Pride Month items. The quality looked awesome in the photos compared to lots of things they sell these days at the Coach Outlets. Thanks for sharing this cutie!
ReplyDeleteHi Jean! Sometimes the items from the website end up at the Coach Outlets if they do not sell out. I've gotten some nice 1941 items for half the price!
DeleteWhat a beautiful bag! Too bad it’s too small to be practical.
ReplyDeleteI know Kathy! So sad.
DeleteAgree! That’s a beautiful bag. Looks good on you too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sherry!
DeleteThis bag is very cute! It's too bad that it's a tad too small. Would be nice if you could fit your phone in the back pocket! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteRight? If it was just a little bit bigger Karen, I would have kept it.
DeleteHi Leslie, What an adorable bag. i love the puffiness and colors. It can double as a lumbar cushion.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! That cracks me up. =D
DeleteThe bag is unique and cute but definitely more of a collectors item!
