I love your story! First of all, congratulations on paying off $10,000 in debt. Wow. That is a fabulous accomplishment and will make your life so much better and easier.

The new bag is a great choice and I love your new wallet and wristlet too! Enjoy!!
 
Congrats on EVERYTHING! Paying off large debt AND your debut into the world of Coach! I'm always tickled When people say that they thought Signature bags represent the brand. It's so far from the truth. Siggy's are a matter of preference. I love my leather bags but there are a few bags that I love strictly in signature (Courtenay and Phoebe). I'm glad you love your purchases. Your first purchase was an excellent choice. I have the studded Haley in black and I love it!
 
Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments!!! This bag is truly beautiful and a joy to carry (and look at!) I even got my first compliment today! The girl at the sandwich shop loved it and when I told her it was Coach, she was dumbfounded. She was in the same boat as me and thought a majority of Coach was the signature bags. She asked to touch it and gingerly petted it and got all giddy. It made my stressful day more bearable.
 
Great choices! Love duffles! Does the studded one come w/ that extra ring of leather to keep the ends of the strap together?? I'm wondering because the regular ones don't. I wish they did!

No, it didn't. I saw that some of the older duffles did, including a 2010 Bleeker duffle my mom has. I went to the tack store and found some thick leather that was the closest match, cut it, and used Loctite glue to keep the loop together. It works out fantastic and you would never know it wasn't part of the bag!
 
What a gorgeous bag! Coach does the best brown colors and Saddle is my favorite. Such a classic! Your wallet and wristlet are perfect compliments to this bag. Congrats on your first COACH and we here at tpf know that this probably won't be your last....welcome to the dark side! LOL! :graucho:
 
Are you me?!?! I too have female relatives who always bought Coach purses, and I am almost done paying off a five-figure debt! What a great classic bag you picked, I love the Saddle brown color

It feels FABULOUS! Congrats!!!
 
Another voice of congratulations on paying off your debt. That's big.

Kudos to your sales associate (the second one) who had the insight to help you find the perfect wallet for you!

Great purchases. Enjoy your leather goodies!
 
Congratulations! You deserve great admiration for achieving a huge goal! Love your mindful way of shopping, too! Enjoy your beautiful bag and accessories, and may you always be reminded of your phenomenal achievement when you admire your gorgeous bag!
