Coach Raising Prices

[lizmil]

There are lots of legacy pieces on Ebay. New with tags, from the recent series and from the 2006 2007 series. You will find plenty...wallets, duffles,you name it. Good luck.

Seems very weird to me especially now that some of their bags are available in DSW. I think that certainly cheapens their name.

That being said I love my Coach bags!!

What are your Legacy finds on ebay? Please share!!!

I am also aiming at very slowly building up my Legacy collection. There is nothing from newer styles which would make my heart beat so fast as beautiful legacy.

I was able to grab a bright coral Rory, pre-owned and on its way to me.

This is my latest eBay find from last week. Legacy Archival Zip Top Satchel. $150. Seller said they carried it twice but looks brand new to me.

There are Candaces, Duffles, Tanners, Rory, Haley.....you name it. I've also picked up wallets and other SLG's. You just have to look on a regular basis and be mindful that some seller's don't know the names for Coach handbags so you have to get creative in your searches.

For me it depends on how much I want the bag and how much I'm willing to pay. I've never paid full price for Coach. I either wait for a PCE or buy on sale from a department store. About 90% of my FP bags are from the Factory Store or FOS and I got them for 50 - 70% off. Lately I've been finding great deals on eBay for Legacy items from 2012.

Thanks! I really want a studded preston mini. I think that one is pretty new, a couple months old. Its on sale on lord and taylors for 25% off but i feel like thats not enough of a discount lol!!!

I know! I'm the same way. I don't feel like I'm getting a deal unless it's at least 50% off but if it's something I can't live without 25% off will do. Luckily I don't come across many handbags I can't live without!

I am curious about their new design and quality, to me, I will stop buying Coach if they are more than $400, unless it is a bargin from eBay or Coach Factory, I prefer variety with moderate quality than single look with high quality like majority.

Maybe more and more people doesn't like the cheap image of Coach, and start looking down upon it.
So Coach want to save the brand by new design line with higher price... I can feel the change since the Borough bag, I love the Borough bag but I won't spend $600 for it.

People may feel proud about the Coach purses they own when Coach change their image to high price Luxury brand, but it will take long time to let people forget Coach used to be cheap.
Just like Elizabeth Arden use to be a high end make-up brand which people can only shop at big city, but EA went to the opposite way that every people can afford it ; Michael Kors is also a smart guy who designed Hermes Birkins- alike -- Hamilton, so more people can afford the beauty.


But on the other side, when the price goes up with great design, there will be more celebrities who won't care more about price will buy the new Coach, and lots of people will follow the celebrities.

Thank you for sharing this. I am surprised that MS actually referenced the factory stores as part of the problem moving forward. Perhaps I missed it, but I don't think I have ever read the issue stated so bluntly.

I am not a fan of the fall bags, but I am holding out some hope. As for the brand itself, I am perplexed as to how they think they can make this leap. Not bashing per se, but I have bags at a higher price point and Coach just doesn't compare. Even their dust bags have gotten flimsy.

I agree that it will take YEARS to turn the brand around. Good luck Coach. You definitely choose the more difficult path. They are probably all at headquarters sporting $200 tshirts that say "Go Big or go home!" LOL. Perhaps they should have shirts for customers that say "Keep Calm and Carry Coach." LOL

Like your comments!!
