My wallet is safe too and I'm not even suffering!
I haven't given up on Coach entirely, still like the brand BUT I really don't see how they can ask higher prices (on top of which, in Canada we've been hit with prepaying the duty now) and yet, the overall quality of the bag doesn't justify the 'new' price. It's so easy to walk away.
I agree. I still like the brand, but I am walking away way more. I love my dakotahs, but I didn't buy the red one. And I will get a few Gary Baseman items but nothing else in the spring line interests me, it is geared towards a much younger crowd in my opinion. Although I would have shown up at work in one of those pastel fur coats for Halloween.
Seriously though, Coach seems to be making copies of premier bags for a younger crowd that can't afford the originals or don't know about the originals. I will buy a few pieces each season but will not be the Coachie I used to be.
