Why am I the only one who's open to the future here?! I'm not particularly young, either! I think for all his aspirational themes the outcome of his handbags and small leather goods won't be so dark and edgy that they'll drive people away. I think the new bags coming are exciting, as well as the product that's on the shelves now. I really think there is something for everyone here. I didn't care for the bags in calendar year 2014 at all and now I'm excited. Many iterations of the Dakotah bag now out and it seems there's something for everyone who likes a shoulder bag style. There's still plenty of classic styles there for those who like it. I adore the Swagger! Wait until I get my hands on the Rose Gold metallic leather Swagger. Recently, I bought the Whiplash folio style wristlet that is big enough to hold what I need and small enough to put inside a tote. That leather is divine, and the wristlet/clutch is edgy with the whipstitch hardware. I love the look!

I'm excited to see what the coming months bring.

Looks like Coach is having a serious case of identity crisis...let's hope there are other pieces to the collection. The bags are not my style, but I can see why some will find it appealing, but the RTW is just...hmm.

Does the free trip to rehab come with it? Not my thing either. I can kind of go with the stud clothing having done it back in the day but I can also jump on the band wagon of there are some fashion trends that need to stay dead which is what she looks like. I know zombies and pale vampires are in these days but :nogood: I'd be afraid someone would try and stake me if I wore this.

Edgier style? Fine by me. I would like the thicker leathers of old though.

However, I would like to feed those models a sandwich or three and tell them nice things about the world. You're supposed to associate your brands with how you want your customers to feel while wearing them. Judging by the modelling pictures of late, I am supposed to feel starving, miserable, and like I've been on a week-long bender.

+1. I'm excited too! I actually like quite a bit of the new stuff!

Not sure. Very tiny girls it seems.
After so many seasons of "serious" bags, I am guessing something frivolous.
I have been seeing many 80's items in store windows, so maybe a return to flaps, extra hardware. Or even early 90's heroin chic?
