You know what I find so insulting for us though? Some of the really old fashioned Outlet bags (leather) that are marked $179 here at Winners! I swear to God, I'm sure these sell for $49 or less at US Outlets - why do they treat us like fools?

I would love to see a relaunch of the 65th anniversary collection even on a small scale. The thick legacy leather with the striped linings was the last time I was really excited at their fall collection which was 2006 I believe. I know they have to move with the times but I think bringing back some customer favorites would help the transition.
Yes! I remember those...exceptional quality etc. I wanted the Ali hippie cross body but it was just under $700 which was too steep for me in those days.
I heard they are going to stop producing their coach signature items..is it true?
I agree here.. I am not a big fan of MK mainly because they don't have originality. Most of their handbags look like a copycat of another designer's design.. Plus almost all their handbags look so heavy! They became so popular tho for at least the past 2-3 years... I personally bought two MK handbags which I don't use anymoremaybe I'll decide to use it tomorrow lol!
I understand mk uses genuine good quality leather thats why its heavy but its just uncomfortable..you havent put anything yet and its already heavy...this is one thing that differs it from fake mk...the fake ones are so light....
I have 2 MKs I bought at MK stores and they aren't heavy. I think it depends on the style. I don't think the leather is as nice as the leather Coach used to use.
Mine was the hobo bag in teal..such pretty bag but too heavy..im on the look out for vintage coach..the one thats still made in the usa...
I agree with you! It would be nice if they would do a variety actually, and a few throwbacks would be nice, but Coach seems to like the eggs in one basket theme. I loved this Legacy collection too and still have most of mine with the exception of a few pieces I got rid of over the years. I recently found a Legacy Mandy in whiskey at an antique flea market in perfect condition (with the exception of a few scratches I conditioned out) for $80!! I snatched that right up after almost fainting (since I wasn't expecting that)!! However, I think this line was deemed "too heavy" and "too pricey" for most people, so they went the other extreme. A lot did go to the outlets.
Now they apparently have a new process that shaves off a layer of the leather so that they can still use high quality leathers. I still don't like thin, though, and I still don't like the leather on the lower end Rhyders. The Dakotahs and some of the other upper end pieces in Vevers' line are pretty nice. I have a feeling some people will say a few of these bags are still too heavy, though!
I agree with you. I think the leather on the current Hamiltons is a little nicer, but I liked the older leathers that Coach used to use better. I just bought one of the MK haircalf camo bags, and it's ok, but I remember when Coach was better. I do feel like MK is a better investment right now, though, and I see that brand carried more often around here than Coach. It's always been largely signature here, but I used to see more Coach.
