Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. If you scored an amazing deal on Black Friday sales, I want to know what you got! I actually bought a treadmill and I'm really excited to get it, especially since I am now working from home two days a week. I noticed that on the days I'm working from home, my steps are drastically less than usual.
In other news, it's freezing cold in Atlanta and I have been loving my new Coach Bleeker bucket bag in shearling. It's the perfect bag for frigid weather.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall.

This bag is very versatile. You can carry this bag a few different ways. While the strap isn't removable, it is adjustable and can be carried over the shoulder as a hobo or crossbody. I am most definitely a crossbody gal, and even at my height, the strap isn't too long at all. I have it on the second to shortest setting.
I added my old Coach Thumper charm. 😍
Here I am modeling the bag with the strap adjusted to the shortest setting. I think it looks fantastic worn as a shoulder bag. The drape of the sheepskin is fantastic. It's very soft and pliable. The only thing I didn't like is how long the strap hangs. However, this is because I'm so short and have it on the shortest setting.
Let's take a closer look at the bag.
The sheepskin is soft and thick, but still surprisingly lightweight. The feel of the sheepskin is a little dry. i wonder if I can use some conditioner to help with the dryness. The shearling is very soft and cozy.
The hardware is brass.
Outline of the inside pocket and snap closure can be seen on the back of the bag.
There's no feet on the bottom of the bag, but I think that's okay since this is mainly a crossbody/hobo style. I noticed there is a 1941 stamp, which signals this is part of their reserve collection.

Inside of the bag is shearling, which I absolutely love. Probably not the easiest to clean, but I love the soft fuzziness. There's an inside slip pocket with a snap closure.
Some may not like that this bag does not have a zip closure. Coach chose a dog leash clip closure, which to be honest can be a little fiddly. So far when I carry this bag, I have tried using the dog leash clip closure and leaving it open. The bag does hug your body so I wasn't too worried about leaving it unclipped, but obviously do what makes you more comfortable.
I love that this bag comes with a lovely pouch! It's makes nice addition to any bag.
I typically do not like seasonable bags, but this one just stole my heart when I saw it in Orlando. It's the combination of the slouchy look, shearling trim and the classic leather that reminds me of shearling bomber jackets. I love that it matches my leather jacket with the shearling collar! I have a review of the jacket coming soon. The price for the Bleeker Bucket bag in shearling is $595, which I think is absolutely worth the money. I wouldn't even be exaggerating by saying this bag is a steal. Coach always comes out with amazing designs, using quality materials and their craftsmanship is always top notch. They seriously compete with high end luxury brands for a fraction of the price. If Balenciaga were to release a bag like this, they would charge $3000. As someone who has been collecting bags for 22 years and I've reviewed anything from Lululemon to Hermes, Coach has really stepped up their game in the last 10 years and I'm really impressed with their offerings lately.
That is it for me, I hope you enjoyed this review and if you have any questions let me know in the comments!

I’ll never get over how nice your jacket looks. It’s the best feeling when a jacket like that just works perfectly for you, like a leather jacket or a trench. I like how it has structure but is not football player looking.
ReplyDeleteHi AC! Thank you so much! I'm obsessed with the leather jacket. It's literally perfect. I don't think there's anything that I don't love about it.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous bag! I love that it’s real shearling, none of that faux stuff. You look great with it!
