Coach X Peanuts City Tote In Signature Canvas With Snoopy Print Review

Coach X Peanuts City Tote In Signature Canvas With Snoopy Print

It was coming! It was coming! People on the Facebook group were very excited about Coach X Peanuts' collaboration! So, I got on my FOMO train and woke up at 5 in the morning to order some random things from the release. Let's face it, releasing a famous collection in the early morning is probably a smart strategy. Many of us were either half-sleep or half-awake, not the time to make decisions about shopping.

I am still surprised by my decision on ordering a City Tote instead of a backpack or a crossbody bag. I said so because the City Tote has thin handles, which is a style of handles/straps that I don't touch. But I guess it is all too late now since most of the stuff is gone. And the price has gone up continuously. I could get the items 50% off with an insider account when they first dropped the products. But, once they hit the outlet store, it became 40% off instead of 50%. So, I would get as much as my bank account could handle in the future, then decide later and return what I don't like.

Before I received my package, I was really not sure about my purchase. My heart was about to jump out of my chest when I saw the delivery! The box wasn't properly taped, and it was half-open. Fortunately, I had a superb delivery guy, and all the items were safe inside without any damage.

Holding the tote in my hands, I felt better about my choice. Although I am not into thin handles, they do look very sleek and stylish. The tote is a reasonably good-sized bag, but I wouldn't carry something too heavy with thin handles. A weighty laptop will probably break the handles after some time. The construction of the bag is relatively straightforward. It is an east-west tote with a magnetic closure. The tote doesn't have any feet, but I wouldn't worry too much as it is a coated canvas bag. The tote is not lined inside, and it only has one zip pocket. The zip pocket is big enough to slide my iPhone 12 Pro Max in and out quickly.

In terms of material, Coach is always excellent with their coated canvas. When I first got my coated canvas bag from Coach, I thought it was leather. I had to go back to check the information on their website. That's how good the quality of their coated canvas is. It feels almost like leather, and the thickness is just right for the bag, durable but not too heavy. The Snoopy print overlayed on their signature canvas is beyond gorgeous! The graphic appears to be clear and sharp. Looking at all the cute Snoopies on the bag makes me happy! With this style, I like how the tote was framed with black leather trim on the top edge, matching the color of the handles. They did try to match up the monograms on the seams, but they are indeed not as perfect as what you would see on Chanel or Louis Vuitton. All the seams were double-stitched for durability. Therefore I do believe the weakest point of the bag is the thin handles. As I did see people mentioning how the handles are fraying or they developed wrinkles from improper storage conditions.

Inside of the bag

On the inside, the material is coated as well. So, if you spill some liquid inside, you shouldn't have a problem wiping it clean. I love the magnetic closure on this bag, and it is one of the best of all the bags I got. The one on my Fossil tote was much weaker in comparison. It is always lovely to see how they focus on minor details like the double-sided metal logo and the special edition leather hangtag. You could see on the hangtag saying Coach X Peanuts, not just another black hang tag on every other Coach bag.

In conclusion, I think this is a well-made tote, and the print on this collaboration is just too adorable! I couldn't quite decide if I wanted to keep this bag as it is not exactly the style of bag I carry. I am blaming it on the 5 am decision. I may save it as a gift for my family, but we shall see! Have you bought any Peanuts pieces from this drop? Please let me know which item is your best purchase!
