Well , where i live
Coach is more common. so I never get excited when I touch, hold and use my authentic Coach like you do. my point is i spotted the coach bags with teenage , college girl , mid-age people at grocery ALOT! compare to people who carry LV neverfull , chanel or balenciaga. I didn't see these bag that much. I barely saw teenage or college girl carry LV or others bags.
My "unwritten" point in the last comment was, commonality happens everywhere regardless of brands, more than you ever know. What's uncommon over there (re: your choices of brands and designs), is definitely common somewhere else.
It doesn't matter if a bag is carried by a teeny bopper or college gal or an old lady because that doesn't define the brand itself. People who have the money, can and will buy whatever brands they want. Just because teeny boppers, college gals and grandmas are buying/using Coach, that doesn't make the brand lousy or tacky you know?
Just FYI, Coach is pretty common here but that doesn't stop me from being excited touching, feeling, holding and carrying my Coach. What I own is what I love and I don't care if somebody else has what I have.
The only way to truly own something 101% unique is to get it custom designed and made. Then you'll never have to worry about the issue of commonality, which caused you to not get excited about what you own
The same here. For reasons beyond my understanding in the Italian city where I was born women are obsessed with only two bags, which are the LV Speedy and now the LV Neverfull (fake and real). 50% of the female population, from teenagers to grandmothes, carry either one of them. That's why I think about them as copycat bags with not much personality, but I guess you can also call them popular.
I have nothing against popular, but in this case I just don't like those bags.
It is a matter of taste and everybody is entitled to have liking and disliking without necessarily intending to offend anyone.
On the other hand, Coach is almost never seen in Europe, so when I am in the States I sometimes check their stores and I always see many nice bags, not any tackier than a lot of designers bags. Coach seems to offer fine products at reasonable price. So far I didn't buy any, but maybe I'll be tempted next time... also because I know that I won't see any in European streets
Thanks gal! You just further justified my point to our OP here on the commonality issue.
LV Neverfull and Speedy are absolutely everywhere here including the fake ones. Now since they are the most common LVs, I doubt I'd get them if I want to buy an LV someday. I'd rather buy a different LV design that's less common so I can still feel "a bit different" while carrying a typical choice of designer brand's bag
hunny, are you in toronto? I dont want to see another Speedy or Neverfull! And so many fakes too! I see them as often as Carlys. Truly I am nauseated by the girls dragging the broke down LV Speedys around the place with that belly hanging down. Bring on the Chloe, lol. I love Coach for their leather and their commitment to the quality of the bag. They've mad some boo-boos but I know that no other designer will repair or replace at the drop of a hat. And in the long run that's more important to me. And this whole anti- teen, anti-middle-aged, anti-granny sentiment of the OP is what strikes me as uncool. I trust that she doesn't plan to ever get to middle age because she'd have to give up all her bags. How sad!
I agree however that once you buy something (particular item or brand) you are more conscious of them all around you. I have that experience whenever I change my car
I can assure you that Coach bags I like, I rarely see. In fact, I have never run into anyone carrying the same bag I am carrying at that particular time and I cover the country and go into the US on work too.
I wish I was in Toronto or somewhere in the US! Then I can get my hands on those good bargains that you gals are getting over there. Although I'm not where you're at, I can assure you that Toronto is not the only place on earth being covered by LV Neverful and Speedy
On a lighter note, I don't get why people are so crazy about Coach Carly. It doesn't appeal to me and seriously that's one of the most overrated Coach designs.
It's definitely uncool to be anti this age and that age and trying to define a brand by that. I don't see anything wrong with people from all walks of life using a brand. That just means the company is reaching out to more people instead of sticking to only one age group. Kudos to Coach for creating varieties to suit every Jane that can be possibly interested in their designs!
LOL! Ditto, hunnyplaya!
Ivenvy - if your reason on feeling this way toward Coach is largely due to the fact that it's so common, then you might not want to come to most parts of Asia (Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Korea, etc) with your LV bag. They're everywhere... Speedys, Neverfulls, Almas, Messenger bags, etc.
I don't LOVE Coach but I own quite a number of them. Quality is superb as I have ones that are over 10 years old. Their range has become so wide to make it more accessible to a greater group of customers. Nothing wrong with that.
Why thank you TDL
You are right on about Asia and my guess is either you live in one of those countries or you are a globe trotter!
Psst... Now that we have told the OP that LV Neverfull is one of the most common designer bags in Asia, she's probably going to avoid carrying hers to Asia in case it doesn't make her excited about using it among the other LV Neverfull carriers
and 'Yeah!' 
I have seen your posts in various threads and I must admit that I like reading the stuffs you write too
