Involuntary Coach ban support group

Thanks C . I love TJ Maxx — I still browse their bags for fun but can easily resist (even when I saw a brand new heather grey border rivet duffle there last month).



Thanks BBG . We have a lemon tree so the lemon socks were a no brainer.



Thanks A . I had to do a search of the thread because I couldn’t remember your Berry MK. It’s good you gotten rid of 5 bags to make room for your newbies. I hear ya on the need to stop spending — with a new pool filter, college tuition, property tax and more . All I can buy these days are $1 socks, lol.

I'm a TJ Maxx addict. I'm actually pretty good about just window shopping (I treat finding a really nice item like a fun treasure hunt, so I it can be just fine to look and find and not buy) but TJ Maxx a few weeks was actually where I got my very first Coach bag. There were two I loved (from the same collection) but I eventually only left with one.

...aaand a couple days later went back to see if the other one was still there because I just couldn't pass it up. (It was! Now I own both.)

Confession: The other day I went to the outlet to return some slg's and I ended up buying more slg's.... because, you know, slg's are not ban breakers and they are often too cute to leave behind. I will try to take a pic later so I can share with you guys.

I'm just learning about the merit of SLGs and now I want so many! I haven't put myself on a ban yet because I have only bought one item (a bag charm I discovered the existence of online by accident and absolutely loved--on sale in my boutique!--I didn't want to regret not getting it and not getting another chance).

That being said, I have my eye on like three slgs plus a preloved bag and that's so much so soon!

(But the outlet Disney collection is so cute...!)

Thanks! I'm very happy with the emery. At first, I was a little disappointed that it was pebbled, but I think it really suits the style. I saw the Rambler in the smooth leather but I felt the color popped more in the pebbled. I have no complaints about quality. It is leather lined and feels very nice. It is structured so I can stuff it without it looking lumpy. I'm happy they didn't put any logos on it. There is only Coach stamped on the buckles.

I really didn't need another card case but I've been looking for something in Tiffany blue for a long time. The wallet was too expensive. What is really nice about the card case is that every part is leather. It feels like it is really worth what it cost.

I was surprised it was pebbled as well but I think it adds something to it and gives it a different vibe. It sounds like a great bag!

The suspense is killing me! Show us what you bought and what you're considering!

Well 1 of the 3 bags is going back. It wasn’t the bright green I was hoping for. The yellow one comes in a couple days
Still have to decide if length will work for me. Excited to see this yellow. The other bag is being delivered tomorrow. I haven’t seen this one in person yet. I’m slightly relieved to know I will be sending at least 1 back. I dont need to love all three bags because then I will want to keep all of them and I DEFINITELY don’t need that! You’d have to ship me off to the island of insanity.

I agree with you about the green. The green on the Coach site looked better than the Nordstrom one. So odd that there's a difference. Glad you made a solid decision!

Anyone else getting lots of adds when on desktop?

YES! I'm so sick of them.

I like the look of that bag a lot! I may spring for it later on. I like the classic look without the logos, too. Congrats!

Congrats, ladies! I just sold two bags myself. It felt good to let them go. Now I need to get off my rear and list a few more.

Congratulations! Good for you.

I sold another bag in the best sort of sale. It sold within 10 minutes of listing it! This means that I donated or gave away 6 bags, sold two, and have two more listed. So I celebrated and just bought that Coach Cass bag in oak with brass hardware. I've been looking for a rich brown for a couple years, and this bag really fit my need. I saw it and tried it on a couple weeks ago at a store, and someone did a reveal on another thread. I wanted to wait until I could make sure I could get the 30% discount, and I did! Really happy I'm getting this bag!

These ads are really, really annoying! They make the platform unstable too. Anyone else notice this? Posts jump around.

So here is my latest Dinky bag--it is the glitter rose version. It was from FOS, and I am certain I received one that has been beat up a bit (even though it came from the warehouse, it is not "new"--it has some lines and wrinkles here and there. I compared to my existing bags, and they don't have those even after several uses), but I decided to overlook the lack of perfection this time--partly because I didn't feel like returning it, and it is a cutie. I used some leather CPR on it to spruce it up a bit. What I like about this bag is the glitter roses, the blue/gray color, the silver hardware, and that it is navy inside the bag.

I have parted with 4 bags recently, so this is a new addition, and I have one Cassie coming in navy.

This is so pretty! I was always drawn to this rose print. The silver hardware for a 1941 bag is unique. Is it shiny silver or more a nickel finish?

Now I know the official name of the Mercer I gave Mom last year which she has since re-gifted to me.

It’s the Mercer satchel 30 with whiplash detail. Mineral in colour with the suede sides and whiplash tassel. It’s sold out now but I like knowing a bit more info. With the exchange I think it was still a better buy here at home at the Boxing Day sale.

I love this Mercer! I don’t own any but if I could own one it would be this version or the hologram purple/green. Love the suede sides.

This is such a pretty bag!

I just broke my ban and bought a navy Cassie! Argh. I couldn’t even go two months. I’m taking solace in the fact that by the time the exchange is over and done with, it’ll be less ($227 CAN) than buying a Cassie in town with a 30% PCE discount ($297 CAN). I’m pretty my math is correct. I wanted the oxblood originally but I love my blues so navy it is.

Looking forward to seeing this bag! I bought one too with the sale, so you're not alone.

here's a picture of my aquamarine Balenciaga. I failed to get a good picture that shows the color well so this is a picture I got from the seller.

Such a beautiful color!

 

[Syren]

I think R2 and BB8. They are so cute... The pics aren't the greatest and are a little dark as night time light isn't the best. But here they are. The elephant is something we already had so he got to join his star wars friends. lol!
