^Ha ha, you got one of my quotes when I was trying to edit out the 'mindless consumers of Coach' before I get some Coachies irate and mad at me.
I've feel the same way, glad you mentioned it first.

Okay, the chatting about gallery totes have inspired me to pull out my Spring 2008 Gallery Tote (manufactured in August 2007). I got this at the June 2008 Yorkdale sale for 50% off from $228. This is my first khaki siggy handbag that I was afraid of using because (at that time I thought) shimmery khaki "C" print was so 'loud' and attention getting. I was more into the black/black siggy Coach handbags. It took me about 2 months to gather my courage to take it out.
I have gotten into all-leather Coach handbags and have neglected my siggy bags--especially this one. I went into my collection and dug this tote out and I am falling in love with it all over again. I put away my LV Batignolles Horizontal for this bag. I can't believe I got into the LV hype when this bag is just made so much better--the edgings of my BH are starting to crinkle and I've only carried it for a few days.
I really miss the Coach 'fishy' leather smell and this bag just smells absolutely yummy!

Hey Grayxie, long time no see! I think this place is fantastic.
I miss ya 'older' Coachie gals. 
I felt pretty mindless last year as I as amassing my collection but I am so glad I did because I am mindlessly enjoying them now.
Awww...thanks T-girl!
I too miss the older gallery totes, IMO the patterns were so much more fun than they are now. At the time they were released I didn't have the money to purchase the tote, but I did manage to get the green zebra, and poppy wristlet. Last year I saw dog collars at the outlet that matched the dot gallery totes, but no totes were to be seen.

You're welcome Grayxie!
I am glad I voiced my discontent with the current Coach subforum--not the subforum's fault but Coach's driving need to keep churning out newer and newer styles without any feedback from their dedicated customers. Now I feel like I am back in the loop and quite happy to take out my 2008 gallery tote today.

this is my favorite thread!! baglady thanks for starting it.
T-girl.. I felt the same was as you! I'd spend just a little time here, because not many things of the newer collections are calling my name, so I took my money to LV and I also got the batignolles horizontal, which I love as an everyday bag, but the leather gets dirty easily.. and that is not pretty. Now I am re-learning to appreciate my awesome Coach collection!
I started buying coach in 2007, but even as a new coachie I drooled over the wonderful Mandy and the beautiful legacy satchel.. like lovecoachmore's HG.. I was lucky enough to score a bunch at the outlets, or Ebay.. so now I can share with you my legacy beauties.. these are the best bags I own!!
here are some pictures of what I have now:
now, individual pictures of my beauties

Oh, I really love big bags and I am a petite girl.. but anyway.. I looked everywhere for this bag and it took me a while to get her, she one of my favorites, sadly I have only carried her 3 times because she is too heavy 
but she'll never leave my house!!
and her sister the fabulous Miranda, yeah.. this is nothing like the MFF mini Miranda, this one is the real deal.. classy and luxurious!!

I get your point about "older" Coachies getting their favs snatched up by the Johhny-come-latelies. I'm probably in the latter category myself, but I think it comes with the territory. That Bleecker in my avatar, the one I wax poetical about (step back, woman, I tell myself, it's JUST a PURSE) I wouldn't have known a thing about if I hadn't seen the one posted by someone who's been around longer than I have. You can't expect to have posts here about people's favorites and the "ones that got away" & not have the rest of us catch the fever. Sorry, no can do.... Hopefully we just don't trample on each other too much.
I agree though, I do wish there was a better exchange mechanism than ebay & even Bonanzle.
I love this thread! Thank you. I'm not a fan of the current styles. I always seem to come late to the party. Wish I was around during the 06/07 Legacy & Bleecker.
*Besides Sabrina! - She brought me back to Coach.

That's a fantastic Legacy collection you have there MBParcia! ITA the Batignolles Horizontal gets dirty very easily. I am a little miffed at LV for getting a bag that gets dirty and wrinkly so easily when I could get 5 really great quality handbags from the Coach outlet that won't do that.

Lady you have very bag I ever wanted. Sweet Legacy Collection.
^yes, burb3rrylov3r, I loved all of those bags you just mentioned. I just spent a ton of time on wayback machine and saw all those poppy bags! I also saw a white demi with the mulitcolored polka dots in real life this past weekend!
And the multicolored wave totes and hobos were great. I even liked the chevron bags. And what about the bubble tote:
Sorry, I like wacky bags
Don't say sorry these are way cool bags very fun and unique. I have the Poka Dot tote but had to send it in for Repair and I do not know which way it will go.
My oldest bag is my Black Patent Gallery Tote from 2004 #1432 (pictured with an Op art Pouch). This is one of my "Go To" bags for Fall.
I also love my 2007 Soho Metallic Satchel in Pewter #10597 (pictured with my Metallic Bridget). I wish Coach made more Pewter bags.
I am still hunting for the ever hard-to-find Platinum Metallic Lily and the first Canvas Resort Tote in Vermillion (#11535). I keep stalking E-bay for these two bags
