IMO, This edgy stuff won't last. So it's not a good investment for me. I prefer classic styles. That I can wear year after year. And the creepy animals are not edgy. That blindfolded bunny makes me sad.

He doesn't make me sad, but I still think he needs a cigarette in his mouth because it looks like he's waiting for the firing squad......

The bunny makes me sad, too, and so do the melting leopard kitten and the ugly butterfly. Why'd they have to pick 3 of many ladies' favorite animals to twist to the grotesque? Couldn't they have used an armadillo or possum or something?

Eta: I get it, but I still don't like it.

That I get. I'm 45, and I like unusual/urban art. I'm a HUGE fan of Tokidoki and carry the bags regularly. I think bags are a great medium for it.

I don't get the audience for "runway" clothes. When/where do people actually wear "runway " styles?

I'm all for critiquing the bags, but is there a reason you all feel the need to rip the model apart? It's extremely rude and clearly shows how insecure you are. She's just a girl trying to do her job. I will never understand women who feel the need to make derogatory comments about other girls weight and looks.

Because Coach seems to be making a special effort to use models that look like tweenies that haven't eaten a decent meal in months and make them scowl for the cameras like they've been constipated for days.

It's not all the models themselves, but what Coach is doing to them / making them look like in their ads. Coach seems to be mistaking edgy for hungry and angry....which is apparently how they want them to appear.

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.

I agree! I'm really liking the new styles and the quality has definitely gotten better. The swagger is proof of that, but more styles also. I was pleased to find that a lot the wallets have better zippers instead of those typical nylon/plastic type ones. I'm really excited to see what the coming months bring too. Coach needed Vevers! They were lucky to get him.

It's more how the models are styled. Their makeup makes them look so pale and the clothes make them look even skinnier. No one actually looks like that. It's not going to help sell bags.

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?

I lived the 1980s, don't want relive them

I hate neon, leg warmers, shoulder pads, and permed hair

And never wore my underwear as outer wear
