Also what is with these tiny bags that can't even fit a cellphone? I give up!
I hate to be so negative but I would love to see Coach get some functional classic bags back.
I agree with your entire post, and will just add, apparently the micro bags are a thing with many designers!
I am getting, from some of the mini mini clipped on bags, a vibe that Coach sized down the old Vintage Belt Bag Pouch to the size of the original key fob mini City Bag, Station Bag from the nineties. So as it appears Coach will often do, and nothing wrong with this, is have lunch or pitch meetings in the Archived Bag room and look around for ideas for upcoming collections.
In their September show, as you know, they highlighted all the small bag styles they are bringing back/modifying/reinventing from the 90s, or older. All this cute little bright stuff certainly creates a lot of buzz ( marketing) and if you ask me, impulse buying. I am curious to see how many of these little bags they churn out, what goes to outlet, and what I will be buying on eBay, in about, oh, 3 years (I prefer the resale market as a sustainability choice).
I enjoy roomy and functional classic style. Hence vintage and of lately, Legacy styles with a flap from 07, 08 -ish.
Following Coach is entertaining. I have more than enough bags for my current needs and can now keep an eye for what is interesting.
