Enough.
Im tired of people expressing shock and delight at the new merchandise that Coach is putting out now. And Im both amused and amazed at THEIR surprise when die-hard Coach fanatics like myself express disgust at their condescending viewpoints. Coming to a forum and essentially writing, Wow! I cant believe that I now love what used to be such CRAP is not exactly a compliment. Do I even have to spell that one out? I guess I do.
I love and admire all bags lots of them bags from independent mom-and-pop stores up in the White Mountains of New Hampshire to premiere designers like Dior. But Im a Coach girl at heart. My mom introduced me to the company at an early age, as many of our mothers have, and I have a sentimental attachment to the brand. Ill always carry Coach. Their quality, styles, and colors are fantastic. Their prices, while climbing, are still relatively reasonable, considering what else is out there. I have fun, fantastic relationships with all of my SAs and Ive been lucky enough to have great customer service whenever theres been a problem with quality (which is NOT often).
The signature (siggy) look is still popular for many of us, but considered out of date for other Coach lovers. Thats up to each woman to decide for herself. Premiere designers, too, by the way, are highly sought after for their blatant use of logos. And p.s., premiere designers are also starting to make bags in China, too. Im not justifying the horrifyingly minimal pay that these employees receive for their work by any means Im just pointing out a sad fact that is not exclusive to Coach. Its something that needs to be addressed by every designer, and soon.
Calling this company a starter brand for those hopeful fashionistas wishing to carry something elegant and of good craftsmanship is insulting. Saying that youre amazed to be toting around a product that costs underneath a certain overinflated price is offensive and pretentious. There are many women who come to this forum dreaming of owning a Coach bag from a boutique one day. The lack of awareness for those less economically fortunate than yourself is simultaneously elitist and frankly - *****y. The incredulity expressed at such modern Coach styles is laughable. I mean, we Yanks and yokels sure do appreciate your citified sense of fashion and style, but weve been getting along just fine these past several years, thanks.
Coach has been around since 1941. Since that year, thousands of women around the world have been carrying Coach bags for a reason. If youre just joining us and expressing astonishment, Id like to ask: where have YOU been?

) so I could be mixing a couple of campaigns together ... but I remember the photography was beautiful, and the leather looked gorgeous, everything so classic and iconic.
