Coach Purses and the cloth bag that you store it in.....

Ok so I bought my second Coach today, at an outlet store in Michigan. I bought my first at a TJ Maxx and it didn't come with one of those cloth bags that some of you post in your pictures.

So I assumed that they automatically give you one when you buy it. But oneday I went to Loheman's and I saw one of the bags inside the purse. So then I figured that they are already in the bag, and someone took out the one at TJ Maxx.

But when I got mine today there wasn't a bag. They did wrap it in tissue paper that I plan on saving, so I can store it when I'm not carrying it.

So what my question is, can I purchase them from Coach? Or is it you get one or not.
This is probaly something I should ask Coach, but since you guys are "Coachies" I thought I would ask you guys.

Oh, and one last thing. How do you guys store yours? I have the one I got from TJ Maxx in plastic grocery store bags with the paper inside to help keep the shape. But I'm sure that there is a better way to do it, besides that.

Thanks for your help.:biggrin:
 
Plastic isn't great for leather because it can't breathe. You can use pillowcases instead of the dustbags. I use white or light colors so there are no dye issues.

Welcome to tPF...
 
First off, do not store them in a plastic bag. Use a pillow case! I just keep mine in a case on the top shelf of my closet.

Now second, your bag from the outlet may be an factory bag which do not come with a dustbag. At my outlet boutique transfers usually have dustbags in them unless someone took one out to put in another bag. I always check mine before I leave. And I think I have read on here that some outlets take them out anyways.
TJMaxx bags around here usually have the dustbag unless it was a factory bag or again someone removed it.
I do not think you can purchase a bag from Coach, but I have gotten a extra dustbag from the Coach full price store (boutique) when I have bought a bag there.
Hope this helps.
 
Hi,
The clothes bags are called dustbags. Dustbags do not come with bags purchased at the outlet any longer. I personally store mine in a cloth laundry bag. I have heard you can call coach and request them. They should be given to you free.
 
Go to Coach store and ask for one. They are called dust bags. The best way to store your bag is to stuff it and put it in the dust bag. I hopes this helps. By the way what kind of bag did you find at TJ Maxx any pictures? Welcome to Coach you will be hooked for life!!!
 
Well their both cloth, the first one has like 10% leather. The other one has the same amount. So wether they be cloth or leather I should probably buy some pillow cases from wal mart or something.

I posted it on here when I first got it, to see if was the "real" thing. I'll see if I can post a link to the thread.
 
Thanks, going to TJ Maxx or Loheman's is like a scavenger hunt, and it's a hit or miss. But I'm SO happy that they put a Coach outlet 15 mintutes form me. The first one was like 45 mintutes away. Plus I had a coupon, and they had the purses marked down so I got a $328 bag for $89.03.
 
Where I am, I can walk into my local Boutique and they will give me as many bags as I need, in whatever size I want. BUT, until I figured that out, I used a pillow case. Congrats on your second bag, welcome to the addiction. :biggrin:

And they didn't charge you?? If Coach doesn't give me any, I'll see if they any at the one I went too.
 
Welcome to tPF! It's almost impossible to be here and not buy more Coach, so enjoy the ride. Hope you can get an extra dust bag, but if not a pillowcase works fine, just pick a breathable material.

I love that bag you got at TJ Maxx, I have a small pouch and makeup bag in the same pattern that I also found at TJ Maxx. It is hit or miss, but sometimes you really luck out. Any pics of your other Coach?

No but I'll take pictures. What type of material (pillow case) do you guys use for you bags??

A standard cotton pillow case works fine. At least that is what I use and have had no problems.

Why all bags don't come with dustbags is the never ending mystery to me. If I can purchase(and I have) non coach bags at tj maxx sometimes and they come with a dust bag coach can certainly afford to give you one with their bag. Sorry for the rant.
