I've had 4 Coccinelle bags,all purchased during trips to Europe. I've never seen one in a boutique or department store in the US. I do like the leather on the bags very much. My first Coccinelle was bought in Paris in 2007 and, as far as I could tell then, the brand wasn't around there very much. By 2013 when I bought the other three in Italy, there were Coccinelle boutiques everywhere including the airport. Next time I'm in Europe, I'll definitely shop their line again. The leather on every bag is wonderful including the saffiano which actually moves and is somewhat soft.
