yes the time to buy is when something is down which is now. i am confident coach will bring itself back around with some of the forward thinking i see going on. I guess if you are too, then the time is now.

Based on the part you bolded, I am starting to think the author's familiarity with Coach's actual products begins and end with siggy bags everywhere.

Not necessarily, if the author is referring to the past 10 to 15 years or so (maybe more?). I honestly don't have a timeline here, but years ago, I was on the Coach mailing list and I loved looking at all the new bags coming out. I couldn't afford them at the time, but I could dream! lol! Then suddenly, the bags started to become multi-colored, and pink, metallic and embellished, and "blingy" for lack of a better word. The classics were still in the emails, but fewer and fewer, and then it seemed that all the bags were not my style. I remember sitting on the computer and talking on the phone to my Mom and having conversations about Coach having gone "off the deep end" and where were the classic styles and amazing leather? I finally opted out of the Coach emails because it seemed pointless to continue getting them. I did not 'rediscover' Coach until the Phoebe (and TPF shortly thereafter). I know that I missed a lot of the Legacy line and others,which I do love and found at the outlets, during my hiatus and I'm sure that others did, too, because they simply didn't look any more, just like I didn't. Maybe this is what the author is referring to?
Me too. I was away from Coach for years because it got very, very blingy and not what i wanted.Disclaimer: I know that lots of people love the bags I'm referring to, and I respect that, but they aren't 'me'

The same thing happened to LV way back - way way back. I remember peopke saying things like : " i dont want LV logo anymore, I gave mine to the maid." We baby sat for a lady like this. lV was over distributed amd out of style. But they turned it all around. Hope Coach can too.
Because I can't stand the idea of even one penny of mine going into karl lagerfeld's pocket.
LOL! Totally agree...
Congrats! Twins!
Hey Zuggy!
I remember when you got this one! I saw this bag still at the outlet recently, I was surprised they still had some. It was on the clearance section.
I haven't cut the tags on mine either! I was thinking the same thing...debut her on the fall.

+1. I thought Coach really went blingy for a time and I missed their classic look.
That IS interesting!! I wonder if these bags went to Asia, didn't sell and came back here or if Jax sent them to Washington state? Thanks for that tid bit!
That's right MaryBel! I have you to thank or blame for this one! :giggles:
I'm pretty sure I paid $450. It sure would have been nice to find it on clearance!
I don't know if they still have them. I saw one, don't remember if it was the last time I went (which was almost a month ago) or the time before that.
That is what MK has done and I believe it has made a significant difference.
