I have always had a weakness for unusual and impractical bags even though my lifestyle does not support this fetish.


It happened to me again! I was at the outlet to do a couple of returns. There wasn't much there and if I had just done my returns and left it would have been better. But then I saw this beautiful bag at less than a third of the original cost and I just had to have it - even though I won't have many opportunities to carry it.


Here are a few hints about my purchase; any guesses?

I don't know... but this is reminding me... aren't you the one who had the gorgeous, expensive impractical little pink Parker clutch (like snake skin or jeweled or something flashy like that)?
 
Here is my latest indulgence.

I bought a Top Zip Clutch Haircalf Patchwork bag with Light Gold Hardware 32360 LI D3P. The original retail price was $798 and I got it at the outlet on clearance for $239.

It is a very large clutch and really beautiful; but I will probably only carry it 2 or 3 times a year. I take the train into the city to go to work and this just isn't an "Every Day Bag". I keep telling myself to return it but I love it so much, that may not happen!

Ooooo a coach cross body?! I was eyeing a beautiful new metallic edie today... But I must resist!

Is it a very small edie? Lol

I don't know but I can't wait to see! The zipper pull looks like a Borough but I don't recognize the hang tag.

Show us more!


Not an Edie or a Crossbody. Bagenamored is correct, it is a Borough but not your typical Borough satchel or shoulder bag - that would make sense and be practical!

Oh wow! That is very cool. I love the piecing. Congrats...
 
Oh that's beautiful! I recently discovered I can carry a clutch as long as they are big enough. If I had seen this at my outlet, I probably wouldn't have resisted either! Congratulations!
 
Here are coach drill-down pics of my new beauty.
