Happy August! I cannot believe how fast July went. I definitely don't want summer to end even though I am getting a little tired of how humid it's been lately. But I am enjoying the long summer days, it makes the weekends feel a little bit longer.
Today I am super excited to share my newest Coach bag! I had a really hard time deciding which bag to keep. Did I go with the velvety suede or the loved leather?
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall.
Coach Kisslock 27 Suede
I am in such a fall mood that I've been looking specifically for a suede bag to add in my collection. First I tried the Coach Rogue 31 in suede, but ended up returning it. When I saw the Kisslock 27 in Dark Chocolate go on sale, I had to pull the trigger. Right after I placed the order I saw the Kisslock 27 in Loved Leather and I was curious to see that in person as well, so I thought why not order it and pick the one I liked the most?
This bag is pretty big, it can hold everything but your laptop. It's like carrying a Speedy 30 but without the handles. I think it is such a beautiful statement piece to carry as a clutch. The velvet suede just molds against your body.
The Loved Leather Kisslock feels much more substantial. The leather is thicker and quite soft. It doesn't have the same smooshy drape as the suede, but definitely huggable nonetheless.
The Kisslock 27 comes with a non-adjustable shoulder strap. I don't usually like shoulder straps, but it's nice that you can add the strap, in case you need to be hands free. It looks big on my petite frame but I don't think it looks overwhelming.
Let's take a closer look at the details.
Just look at this suede! This suede is so much nicer than the Rogue 31 I returned. The color is so rich and beautiful I could not stop staring at it when I first took it out of the box. It comes with matching hangtags. There are D rings to attach the shoulder strap.
My absolute favorite thing about the Kisslock bag is the leather lining. For the price, I think this elevates the bag to luxury. It's something I really look for when buying handbags now. I prefer leather lined first, then suede, and nice soft fabric. I do not like scratching fabric linings in bags. That to me is a deal breaker. For the price, I think this is really amazing.
Inside of the kisslock has a small card slot and on the opposite side there's a large zippered pocket.
Unfortunately, the lining of the pocket is fabric. But since everything else is leather lined, I will forgive Coach. I doesn't bother me that much.
Is it a surprise I went with the suede Kisslock 27? When looking at them next to each other, the loved leather just looks muted and not quite as stunning. I will keep an eye out for a different style in loved leather. I'm not writing it off completely. That's it for me! Did I make the right choice? Let me know in the comments below. Hope you all have a fantastic start to a brand new month!
