I heard that Coach had issues with their lookbook photographers this year and customers (self included) haven't liked the photos b/c they aren't true to life. I saw that bag in person, and the handles don't look strangely shiny like they do in that photo. It comes in a lovely gold tone with a lilac trim, and it's very classy looking. I haven't owned a microfiber coach bag, so I don't know how well it holds up, but I like the style a lot--don't know how it fits on the arm b/c I looked but didn't touch. My fave coach is my soho tote in peacock blue--it's worth every penny and holds all my daily junk, and I'm not afraid to put it to the test--I'm still babying my LV Ribera at this pt:shame: I know it will hold up, I am just so enamored with it and it's such a big purchase that I don't want to mess it up!
