I think I'm kinda falling out of love with Coach. I mean, I still like the the styles & durability & really nothing against Coach but, I'm finding that I'd rather just save a lil' bit more & buy something else instead like Gucci or LV. I will probably would still buy Coach in the future but, they are falling by the wayside for me right now. Can't really explain why. :thinkin: Maybe this is just a phase.

I still love my classic LAMB bags and carry them a lot but so far, I've been falling out of love with all the collections since January 2009. There is nothing new that is LAMB that I need to purchase. A couple of the bags from prior collections I still would love to get my hands on like a Rasta mandeville or the checkerboard Hopewell.

Coach too. I'm really getting disappointed with the quality and the new bags now. I still love their SLG's and small accessories though, but I can't see myself buying anymore of their bags in the future. I rather save up for Rebecca Minkoff, Michael Kors and maybe a Balenciaga in the future.

I so thought I was going to try the poppy line because of all the hype that was generated about it before it came out, but I heard that many ppl are dissapointed with the quality of the leather & feel the bags should either be made better or priced lower.

It's Tokidoki for me. I liked them better when LeSportSac was involved. The prints, zippers, and trims are not doing it for me. I'm going back to Coach. I was really drooling for Marc Jacobs, but I can't justify spending the money. I'm more comfortable with the price point of Coach and they have some really nice styles and beautiful colors.

Coach and Dooney & Bourke, I just find I want to branch out to different designers and try different bags. I'm tired of carrying the same bags everyone else has. I'm wanting to buy something I don't see often around here like LV or Gucci or really just something different in general. EVERYONE around here has either Coach or D&B and it makes it boring, seems like there is nothing special about owning a Coach or D&B bag anymore.

Kate Spade. I still love the ones I have and will continue to carry them, but for some reason I'm just really not interested in getting any more, and haven't looked for/at them online in a while. I have no idea why; it just happened, and might change again. Right now I'm all about Furla!

I'm feeling the same as you in regards to Coach. The quality just hasn't been as good for a while now. I took a "break" from them for a couple of years while I was using my Kooba's and Botkier's. And it looks like I am on break again. The poppy items are such a horrible quality when compared to typical Coach of a few years ago. I purchased the Tartan large zip-around wallet for $158. I caught myself justifying it by thinking "this is a good price point for them". What was I thinking???!!??? I could get a high-quality leather wallet from Rebecca Minkoff for $150! So I brought it back and decided it was time to spend my good, hard-earned money on better quality products. It's like Coach as skewed us into thinking that we are getting great price-point items from them and are getting a great deal when in reality we are over-paying for mediocre quality!
