I have the Medium Saddle bag and I love it. I get so many compliments on it every time I use it. It's quickly become my most used bag. The quality is great, I totally abuse it and it still looks brand new. The color is a really pretty dark mahagony brown, it's not shiny though like on the website. The leather is really soft too and it has these cool little pockets inside that my phone fits into perfectly so I don't have to dig for it. I definatelly recommend it. Let me know if you need help with size. I can take a pic with my Medium one so you could see what it look like on a person to judge the size better.

I know what you mean about the tan color - in some pics, it looks really yellow-y and washed-out, and in others, it has more depth to it.

Collette, it sounds like you own the dark brown one?

Collette · Chanel

Yup I have the dark brown one, it's a really nice color.

the more i see this bag... the more and more i like it. unfortunately, it's not really what i need right now, but i would gladly trade in my bulga for one of these beauties!

the tan is definitely a slightly red, cognac tan. i think the quality is really good. someone at a store that carries her brand and botkier told me they were made by the same factory. as for size, to me the medium is a large bag.. and the large is oversized.

I really want both this bag and the Hand Maid one.....I wish there was no such thing as budgets! What's a girl to do?

Dot, have you seen the tan bag in person? I would order that one over the brown if I knew it was actually a cognac, reddish tan versus a washed-out tan.

I have the brown medium one and I like it a lot, it's my everyday bag. The quality of the leather is really good. You should get the brwon one I think the color looks richer. I've seen the tan one and the brown looks better IMO. I bought mine from NessaLeeStyle with a 20% off coupon code.

So I broke down and bought the medium brown. :) I bought it from NessaLee Style though, so I saved 20% and got free shipping.

I really like the large saddle bag in tan. I guess I don't mind the size, since I carry lots of things, and love the look of big purses! I just recently purchased one from Feng Junk for 20% off, with coupon code 'grechen05'. I love it, and I get lots of compliments on it.

Now I sort of wish I had bought the tan.... Oh well, I'm sure I'll love the brown just as much.

I got this in the mail today, and I am so glad I bought it! At first, I was like, Holy s*it, this is a big bag, but I took it for a test run while I shopped at Barnes and Noble and I was very happy with it. The leather is gorgeous, and while it's a bit big, I think it'll be nice, especially for travelling. I even got a compliment on it! Thanks for everyones input!
