Coach Francine Purse

I have been intrigued by the exotic creations being seen on Coach purses lately. We first had Eva Longoria with a Python Miranda then Rebecca Romijn with an Ostrich Lily. But it is not just their exotics that are catching attention. Coach purses are a fan favorite. In fact, most women start out buying a Coach purse when they break into the designer handbag realm. I know I did. And while my collection has expanded, there are still Coach purses that I see and love. The new line is the Coach Francine line, which is just in time for spring with bright colors on patent leather. Sure there is the obligatory brown and white, but I am intrigued by the eye popping teal and slight shimmer to the metallic. Even better is that a purple will be available April 22nd online. The Patent Leather Francine sports a bold color with a great design, offering a removable strap and an outside pocket with turn lock closure. The shape resembles a bowler bag. This design is great for a hand-held burst of color and flair. The patent leather Francine costs $798 via Coach while the metallic leather costs $898 via Coach.

It's so cute! I love the leather on both bags and colors are really amazing.

Wow! What great spring colors.

I have this bag in the purple and it is beautiful! I receive many compliments on it each time I take her out. The purple is so unique. I dont think she is that heavy at all. She is patent, and much lighter than my other leather bags.

Seems like Chloe and YSL did this bag about two years ago. While these are cute for spring (and I admit the colors are fabulous!), Coach might need to get some new ideas rather than borrowing old ideas from other designers. I do think they are onto something good with the new cross-body type shoulder strap, though!

I have seen this bag in person. It is cute, but I would be concerned that the straps are not heavy duty enough.

Ita!

If I hadn't read the title of this thread and just seen the pics, I would've guessed it was a YSL!
