My reasoning for not getting an LV neverful is I can get several Saff totes and enjoy the variety of colors and shapes. If I wanted to spend a bucket of money on one bag, it probably wouldn't be Coach...just saying...
Funny you should mention the Neverfull. I was just looking at LVs last night and the price for the GM has gone through the roof since I got mine just two years ago. Unfortunately, LVs prices have gotten ridiculous.
I think that Coach's price increase will be good for me. I need to STOP adding to my collection. This will give me a chance to figure out which bags I really love as opposed to falling in love every PCE with something new, lol. Hopefully I'll be able to cull my collection.
