Oddly enough, my eye is veering more toward Michael Kohrs bags and I never was a big fan. I was trying on some models in the MK outlet store the other day and was quite impressed. I haven't set foot in a FP Coach store since they did away with the PCE's; it was the thing that brought me in in the past.

No kidding, definitely agree, I have a Kors wallet I really like and am considering another off ebay. Doing away with PCE killed ANY chance I will buy FP from Coach, and I never got the PCEs anyway.

I almost bought a soft Borough from Macy's during this last sale, but just couldn't justify the price even with the discount. I need outlet prices or double discounts.

I have been looking at many other brands to purchase. My SA sent me a text the other day saying there would be no PCE in September which means I WON'T be buying. I just see this strategy as a losing battle for them. Oh well, I'm happy to browse other brands and take my time to buy something I know I will love (and will also hold it's value).

I'm over new Coach. Done. I'll buy older Coach styles off ebay or Bonanza from now on, and even then I'll be looking at other brands like old-school Rebecca Minkoff and MBMJ.

In fact my collection at this point is slightly bigger than I'd like (32 bags), so I need to take a good long break from buying anyway.

Michael Kors does nothing for me, thank god. LOL

I was planning to buy the Purple Rhyder but may not after hearing complaints about the leather. I like the Soft Black Grommet in my Avatar but not the price :) May consider it though. Actually selling off much of my collection to buy LV I want.

I have never been a huge fan of MK. The bags always seem to look the same. But this season has some really pretty stuff and at a very reasonable price point. I still love Coach, but I my purchases will require more planning and a whole lot of love! I like some of the Vevers stuff, but nothing blows me away. If I am going to spend that much on a bag, it probably won't be a Coach bag.

For me, Kors is over distributed. I see plenty onTJ Maxx and Marshalls. I like some of their designs, but they sometimes look heavy. I have never bought MK yet and feel like it is too late now cause it seems like everyone has one.

Really like Rebecca Minkoff and also Marc Jacobs. No interest in Kate Spade!

These are my thoughts exactly. If I'm spending that much I'll look at LV and other brands. It's hard for me because I live in an area where Coach really is the only brand I can buy in person. I'll take my chances and order online or wait for travel to pick up stuff I want to purchase from the brands I can't purchase here.

Same here on the Minkoff and MJ, although I miss more of the Morning After Bags. I hear ya on the MK; I see so many people with the tote with the lock on it that it loses its originality.

I love my MK bags, but no Hamiltons,Selmas, or Suttons in the bunch. He is the only designer that has enough slip pockets on the inside and usually a pocket or 2 on the outside. MK lured me into designer bags and TPF at a time when I would barely spend $100 for a leather purse. His bags hold up well for me and are very functional. I strayed to Coach for a while for the exotic embossed and gathered designs, but I see myself losing interest in Coach with the new direction of the company.

There was an article on CNN I think talking about fast fashion and how MK wont be around in a like 10 years, it was a very interesting read. Not into MK at all, I like the higher price point michael kors collection bags and own a few of those. Cannot stand rebecca minkoff at all, I see a lot of her designs and they look like cheap rip offs of higher end bags, was never into kate spade, but started looking and they have some cute stuff. I'm starting to look at higher price point bags again and thinking about switching back to LV and chanel again. I do have my eye on the givenchy antigona bag and the fendi 2jours too. I do want to at least add a rhyder to my collection though, and maybe the python crosby.

So very true, I love how many pockets are on the inside. MK bags are very functional, I wish Coach would do this or at least add more pockets to their totes, 2 pockets + zipper pocket is not enough.
