Well, at least I feel like we're getting value. My DH was with me at Coach, and then I "played" with a $5300 Cdn Lady Dior, and he was like "Get whatever you want at Coach...it's not ridiculously overpriced and the leather is really nice!". For my hubby to recognize that and say it means A LOT!!!


Yeah, compared to the Premier Designer's handbags, with Coach we ARE getting excellent leather quality for the price range. It's all relative, right?
 
It's absolutely ridiculous, with not only the staggering of releases, but how clueless they keep the SA's....MY SA couldn't even find the Rexy/Carriage tiny purse on her lookbook, because after reading your post, I asked her about it. (That would be MY preference too). But since it's just a $150 SLG, I was too impatient to worry about which one I get first.

These games that Coach plays with their "bread and butter" customers is astounding! More astounding is how well we all take the "abuse"! :graucho:

You two keep me laughing so much this evening. :giggle:

I wasn't able to see very clear details of the little pouches as the SA could only show me from the look book online. I'm hoping the chain strap will be removable so I can just use the coin pouch by itself or maybe turn it into a bag charm!

Yes, the chain is removable, photo on post 82 shows the dog leash clip and the loop it's attached to. I remembered that from seeing that photo back then. Post 20 shows a model wearing one and you can tell how tiny it is.

Thx for the closeup -- now I'm really excited to receive it! For style 23195, I think she said it's the Duck with Black background...I caught her at a busy time on her shift.
We must keep our terminology straight- "the duck" is "Dr. Doodle" if you please- an iconic Fisher-Price character! He is a must-have this fall=> for me anyway :smile:!

Yeah, I was happy to see that it is indeed removable! The tiny ring that the strap attaches to seems to be near the actual closure frame, near the top. Since there's only one ring for the strap to attach to, I think the strap itself is a long necklace style loop. A change of pace, for sure.

So much new stuff coming out so often, and I know we all keep buying things from new collections! Anyone else feel like there isn't enough time to wear all this stuff? Like I don't even want to think about the price per wear on my less worn pieces :hrmm: Maybe the trick is to not think about it


That IS the trick -- if you overthink it, you may go into a deep depression....which may lead to even MORE purchases due to "retail therapy", which in turn can lead you into debt....do you see where I'm going with this? :wtf:

So, I know the Bandit isn't for everyone (even the 1st release size was returned by me) but I picked up its smaller sister today & IMO, the perfect size hobo. Everything is the same (colors, removable pouch), just smaller. I asked my SA to take a comparison shot & have posted a pic below. I got black (w oxblood trim) but its also available in Oxblood w/blk, dark teal with tearose embellishments as well as a violet purple, which I think may also be embellished.
