At first, I didnt think much of this bag...
Doesn't seem pretty or cute or stylish..
looks weird and too pocketty..
but I liked the signature sateen fabric.. and no one seems to want it..
so I decided to use it myself...
sateen fabrics always entices me,,




Slowly I began to like it... and love it..
As I began to get acquainted with The Coach Poppy convertible hobo ..
I slowly realized that the bag is awesome!
not too big, not too small.. comfy to carry...
can be crossbody, or shoulder bag...
has compartments for everything!
the pockets are so useful...
easy to reach inside to get stuff..
the straps are soo the perfect length.. and can be removed...
the hobo-ness of the bag is also nice... the drop is great...
in short I love it... I began to appreciate the weirdlooking-ness of this bag..
makes me feel different... who else will be wearing this right?
everyone more obsessed with the signature coach tote... (sorry.. can u say boring !!)
within 10 mins entering a shopping complex, you can spot someone wearing this...



anddd... when I do COD, customers will always say..
waaa I want this one.. why arent u selling these...
well, when I advertise online, no one wants it..
(doesnt look that great in pics, I think.. but in action, looks good)
until I met Farra... a potential customer who I showes all bags in real life...
who at the end.... really, really wanted my bag...
so I sold it... coz I thought I could always get more...



After which... I decided to get something different..
same style of course... coz that bag is perfect for me...
I was deciding between the rasbpberry metallic, chalk/white leather..or black leather..






until I found someone from TPF (the purse forum) that wanted to sell the pilot version of this bag..
pilot bag means only a few were made ...
it's black leather with silver trimming at the pocket..
I thought wow, the silver trimmings really sets off the pocket ...
compared to all black bag, right?



and the fact that it's leather...
would be easier to clean in case of anything happening..
just wipe off.. compared to sateen fabric...
so headache to take care of the sateen fabric..
I carry a plastic bag inside the bag incase of rain, etc
actually the sateen fabric is quite tough and stain repellant...
but I like it so much that I cannot let it even touch anything..



So decided to get it.. for myself.. my birthday...earned it...
and it has arrived... worn it a few times..
still feels awkward... not really in love yet...
but like the previous bag... love is not at first sight...
love has to be earned....
and slowly this bag is earning my love..
especially when I find ways of how this bag is soo damn useful... and comfy
cant wait to love you !!!...

Official reveal of my bag...
(crossbody convertible straps not shown)







p/s: If I had money, I'd buy this in chalk leather, raspberry metallic leather , khaki/gold sateen, black sateen... I'm the type of person .. that after finding something I like/love.. I stick to it.... I dont experiment so much anymore..
