Hey everyone! I've been eyeing the Coach Western Tabby bag for months. I finally pulled the trigger and it's everything I had hoped it would be, except for one issue that turns out to be a dealbreaker for me. However, I would still highly recommend this bag.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall.
If you have 8 minutes to spare, in this video I cover what fits, all the details of the bag and mod shots.
I love the look of this bag, it gives a vintage vibe, and the color Burnished Amber is a beautiful chestnut brown. The leather is smooth and it's soft enough that it will show scratches, but I think it's the kind of bag where scratches will add to its charm and personality.
The reason I'm returning this bag is because the crossbody strap is too long, even on its shortest setting. In the photo below, you can see the length of the strap extends past the cargo pocket and I think it just looks too busy. It also hits slightly too low on my body. Visually, it looks fine, but it feels too low.
If I liked wearing bags on my shoulder, I probably would have kept it. However, my shoulders just slant downwards too much and within minutes, the strap would slide right off.
Trust me, it really pains me that I am returning this bag. If you're wondering if I could swap the straps for something else, you really can't. It would be extremely hard to find another strap with the same width that would fit perfectly in the belt buckle.
Let's take a close look at the details of this bag.
I'm a huge fan of contrast stitching. It's something that always catches my eye. The color Burnished Amber is my favorite shade of brown. This bag has a ton of organizational pockets. The side cargo pockets can fit an Airpod case. The back slip pocket can easily fit a large phone.
These buckles are for design purposes only.
This pocket can fit an Airpods case and I love the turnlock closure.
The bottom does have feet, but they are so tiny, it's almost non existent.
Comes with a Coach hang tag.
I love the magnetic snap closure. The flap opens up to another large slip pocket that can fit a large phone and the bag is lined in this gorgeous honey suede. There's a zippered pocket on the inside of the bag as well.

Overall, this is a fantastic bag. It just so happens the strap is too long for me. This does happen from time to time. It's pretty annoying to be honest, because I would have loved to add this bag to my collection. That's all for me! I hope you have an amazing start to a brand new week!

Beautiful bag. Too bad it didn’t work out for you.
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous, but I know there will be other bags. =)
DeleteI liked the colors and boxy construction of the bag. Thank you for your insights, I am starting to notice these things more and be conscious of them when making purchases.
ReplyDeleteHi AC! I'm glad you found it helpful! It was so close, but I have to be mindful of what bags I keep. =)
DeleteAs another short girl, do you ever consider seeing a cobbler? They can add new holes in straps and sometimes even grommets.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good question. As someone who buys and sells bags as often as I do, I typically do not modify my bags as it affects resale. If a bag doesn't fit me, I'll just return because I know there will be other bags out there that catch my eye!
DeleteBeautiful bag indeed! Thanks for sharing detailed photos of different angles. Going to resign up for your emails, didn't get your updates for a little while. Lately, I've been back on the Coach wagon again. I'm not a Gen Z, but thought this video was interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFoUBRfwzWQ
ReplyDeleteHi Jean L! I love the Coach is popular with Gen Z, but to be fair, Coach has been hitting it out of the ballpark with their designs lately. Amazing quality for affordable prices. I'm looking forward to see what Coach will have for this fall season.
DeleteOh, the emails are supposed to start up again for tomorrow but there will be some changes. It will be going out once a week instead of 3 times a week and set to go out for Friday's post.
