Coveting Coach Bag!

[MissAva]

I like their bags, I have 6 and they are all very cute and have been holding up nicely thus far. Which one did you get?

Woo hoo the Coussin has arrived!!! Hooray for my darling hubby!

It's BEAUTIFUL, I adore it! Greg got it boxed at LV which is a dark lovely choco brown box with a choco ribbon, soooo pretty. The bag itself is perfect. Fits right under my arm, straps are a little stiff originally so they seem to need to conform to your body (by the end of the night they were already loosening up), but didn't have problems with them falling...it's just beautiful. Wore it to dinner...the inside is a soft red velvet-type material and it has a cell phone pocket inside and another large pocket for makeup or pens.
YAY...Greg said he'd take some pictures of it tomorrow night so you guys could see how it fits under the arm etc. hee Hee.

Apparently he also made friends with the store manager of LV at Stanford and wants me to go there and check out this $5k limited edition travel jewelry box they have....I said well if you want to spend $5k on me then it's going to my next upgrade! he said 'well you have to have somewhere to put it when you travel.'....Yeah I have the perfect place for it, ON MY HAND!!

Yay!!! I can''t wait to see pics. I''m so glad the straps are not a problem. I just may have to go try it on again -- love the size and style of that bag.

So glad you got the bag Mara! That is such a cute purse. Sounds like you had a pretty darn nice birthday.

 

[Catmom]

Yay, Mara!! So happy you got your bag and can''t wait to see the pics. Isn''t it fun to have hubbies that understand about diamonds and handbags!

 

[Angel7]

Slightly off topic but does anyone like Dooney and Bourke bags? I bought a D and B tote the other week and I love it

It seems really well made and I just wondered how popular they are in the States or are Coach the big guns? It wasn't cheap either

Lorelei,

I like Dooney & Bourke. I picked out one for my B-day (tomorrow) that I had liked back when they first came out with it but never bought. Light blue mini tassel tote. (I worked at a dept. store chain in the purse dept. and had a 25% discount but just didn't bite at the time, couldn't decide b/w 2 colors). Of course, it's been discontinued in the colors I liked, pink, and light blue, but I was lucky enough to find what I wanted on Ebay. I think they have some nice styles and do seem less popular than Coach, which I also like but is more common. And QVC sells them, which is a bonus (better prices!). LV is ridiculously overpriced for what they are.. IMO you are paying the astronmical cost b/c celebs wear 'em. And the classic color choice, well... blackish brown and olive green logo? huh? I'm not sure how that got so hot but don't listen to me because most women love 'em. But they do have some nice shapes and styles like the ones posted. And the cherry blossoms that were so popular last year were pretty darned adorable I have to say. I would have bought a knock-off if they weren't so uber-trendy and destined to look dated. At least the drab-colored classic ones stay in style.

ETA: I also love the double strap look but have problems with one always falling. ugh. One straps just looks so funny to me though, I can't see purchasing even to avoid the fall factor.

Nice bag. Wish I had read this before Valentine''s Day. Thanks for posting the photo.

I'm not generally a huge fan of Coach for all of the various reasons cited, but I did purchase these Coach sneakers as a surprise for my daughter who I am visiting at school this weekend:

Sorry for the EBay shot but it's the only place I could find a picture ... I think the style is new and just in the stores. Aren't they snazzy?

OOPS! I just realized how old this thread is! Sorry - I wasn't the "bumper" but ... oh well!
