I haven't actually been on a ban, but I went a little crazy last year and purchased a lot of bags and other Coach items, so I did some "tough-love, soul-searching" and I returned several unused bags and other items before the holiday shopping season.

When I received a generous Coach gift card from my DH for Christmas I was determined not to buy anything "just because it was shiny and pretty" until I found a bag that I truly loved.

It has been difficult during all the 30% coupon days; and the gift card has been burning a hole in my (raisin Kristin) wallet for 2 months now, but I held firm. I passed on Ginger and Devin because they just weren't right for me. I actually did spend part of my gift card on some pretty Poppy jewelry but I have kept most of it intact - until last night that is!

I found a wonderful bag at the outlet. I was immediately attracted to it and kept it on my shoulder the entire time. I kept looking at other bags but somehow none of them compared to this beauty. I had decided not to give in to Coach's latest "20% off FP delete" scam, but last night I caved in.

The TPFers that frequent the Aurora, IL shopping thread already know what I bought but would anyone else like to see my lovely, new bag?
 
Here's a few teasers. I know that this bag has already been revealed in a different color (and it may also been shown in this color) but she is very special to me so I wanted to share her with others that I know will appreciate a bag that is special to me.

Here she is! My new black patent Kristin Pleated Satchel 16016. I got her at the outlet for $223 and she is my second most expensive bag (after my teal Sydney that cost $276) but they are both worth every penny!
