Well, this was unexpected. We get very little coach over here, so to find a black Leigh which is hard to find in America was very surprising. There was only one in the entire shop, and it was the only leather coach item available, all the rest where signature bleecker duffles and satchels. I never thought of buying a Leigh, they seemed so expensive, and I tended to sway towards bleecker, however seeing it in real life it is so different and a million times cuter. Being black it goes with almost everything, it can be used for everyday or more formal use, and it has plenty of space without being too bulky. It sits nicely as a shoulder bag, however the strap is not too long for it to be hand held either. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another in a different colour.
I got this from TK Maxx, Almondvale Livingston, Scotland for £150 ($259), (RRP = $658; outlet price $399). The quality of the legacy leather is amazing and well worth the money. (This was the same place as my other unexpected find the British Tan wristlet, which was also a great deal).
This was an unexpected buy, I got it in a shopping centre when flat hunting. I needed help from the tPF ladies on what colour this was, and they confirmed it is indeed British Tan. I bought this for £7/$13 at TK Maxx (RRP = $58; Outlet price = $49) so I got an amazing deal. Seeing as we don't get much coach over here it is good to know that when we do we can get it at an amazing price! My first wristlet that I have needed for ages!
Lovely bleecker leather, with a bit of scratching which can be buffed out. Complete with it's mini hangtag.
Tattersal lining which is in I think all the new bleecker range.
Yes some more of my coach charms arrived. Here we have:
A golden koi carp. Made of different golds and bronze metallic leather with sequin and a bead for the eye.
"initial" L charm. Metallic pink/lilac (it looks more pink in person), with patent purple on the back, and a nude/light pink in the middle.
I love the sparkle of the metallic leather :]
3 more charms to come as well as a large flap bleecker which still hasn't arrived yet!!
Well only 3 of the masses of charms I have bought have arrived so far. Well, here they are!
Firstly, a monkey! it is made from leather and cow hair.
Secondly, a boot! Made with leather, coach jacquard signature fabric and what seems to be wool.
And last, but by no means least, the raspberry lurex picture frame keyring. (or if I was to be pedantic, raspberry and silver lurex optic signature with silver trim and rhinestones.)
just need to get some pics to put in it :]
I could look at these charms all day! It is like my panda one (below), i have had it years and everytime I see it I can't stop looking at it due to severe cuteness!
My coach ones are however more expensive and due to being leather need protecting. So dust bags and a little box should do it. Stops them from getting dusty when not in use, and since I am allergic to dust, it's a good thing! Also means you pick a charm to use on your bag blind as you can't see what is inside. It adds a little more fun and variety.

Accessories just rule.
I ordered this to go with my large flap bleecker in the same colour (ink) that I ordered days before this, just my luck the bag hasn't come yet and I got the matching wallet first!! I can still attach it in my other bag though with the keychain so I am not too miffed, at least I got something today! it came with it's own little dust bag too so I can store it safely no problem until my bag comes. I really like the colour, it is so deep and rich, and it has that really nice treated leather smell and feel to it.
Back (that is the pocket lined with tattersal)
In it's little dustcover keeping clean :]
I love the colour and the leather, so I am dying for my Bleecker to come! The tracking said it has left the USA at San Fransisco and Is heading for the UK! Not long now then :D
