Honestly, it looks like they just spayed painted it. I never had it happen to my older bags. Yes, some of them have little scartches but underneath is the same color as the color of the bag, not white. I hope they will give me my money back...

yeah i agree! thats terrible. they need to dye the stuff with penetrating dye. i dont think they are. ive got a nwt bag im almost afraid to use it scared there will be issues with the color of it since its a "newer bag". geesh maybe we ought to stick to fabric lol.
I had many issues with fabric bags in the past two years. LOL! We just can't win. My Jacquard fabric bags kept fraying (including a black Carly).
I have had issies recently with the Mia Maggie in Ocean Teal. The first one I got had numerous threads - on the topstitching and around where the handles were sewn to the bag - it also had glue left on the silver rings - one of the hanging threads got pulled and some stitches came loose. I took it back - it had been 1 week so they gave me a new one - after 10 days I looked and the underside of one of the handles hand come unstitched - so they gave me bag #3 - when I got back to my office I saw that they hadn't put the edging paiint or whatever they call it on properly and on one side near where they sew the handles the inside section of the bag was higher than the outside - at thuis point I was not happy - especially because I really loved the bag and the color.
I had done all of my dealings with one Coach Store and at that point we mutually decided that perhaps I should try a different style - so I now have the Kristen small hobo in the blue color - I like the fact that you can use the moisturizer and cleaner on the Kristen leather. Hopefully I will not have any more problems with this bag.
I must say that all the associates were very nice about my problems and I have usually had very positive experiences with the staff at the Coach Store.

I started buying COACH in the summer of '08. COACH introduces new bags every season. It is more like a fashion line instead of a classic line.
It was *nothing* like this. Coach had the classic bags and various legacy bags (with a new style here and there), and a new line every few months, but it was not so trendy and at-the-moment.
i haven't experienced (much) of the quality or have seen it while i was there
but i can tell you that the factories that make it do not belong to Coach. coach designs the products and work with the factory in terms of materials, cut, and overall production but the factories are owned by individuals (a friend's family actually owns one of them)
and it is definitely correct where coach used to come out with floorset maybe four times a year, it wasn't until 2006-2007ish that they decide to come out with one every month. reed's idea. in a way that is the model that a lot of companies have adapted, more stuff placed more frequently to get customers back into the store, coach isn't the only one but definitely an early adapter but where things like these are concerned they always were--with technology and their website page and how they do business. its part of why they are successful and why they are a mass market brand.

I was the original poster of this thread. Quality has been slipping at Coach recently. My Sophia and Kristin had inside pocket issues. Sophia inside pocket ripped after about eight (8) weeks of gentle use. Kristin Hippie was worse, inside pocket ripped after six (6) days of use.
Has anyone had problems like those in the past? It is so frustrating. We pay good prices for our products and they should last for a long time.
One of my friends has owned her Coach wallet for seven (7) years. She uses it daily. Her wallet is finally falling apart.

Coach took my Sophia back. I have to make another trip to my local outlet to return a rare find Kristin Hippie black leather with silver hardware. I thought I got an excellent deal on that product. Boy, Was I Wrong!
