I just got the catalog tonight, and it doesn't say what color it is, it just says "Carly Slim Metallic No. 11872 $548 16Lx12Hx2W":yes:

LOVE LOVE LOVE the metallic silver Carly!!! Does it just come in one size? I hope it comes in a medium. The 16L x 12H is a little big to me (sounds like the counterpart of the large Carly). I'd love the medium.....I hope they have it!!

Also, I really feel that Coach is making a mistake by upping the prices so much. If Coach is trying to join the ranks of LV, Chanel, etc, they're wasting their time. I don't think that they're going to gain the luxury image they're aiming for by raising their prices. The people who can easily afford LV and Chanel will probably never see Coach as being on the same level as those brands, no matter how much the prices are raised. Coach is leaving its original target demographic (middle and upper middle class) and expecting to pick up a new demographic (the wealthy) who will likely never embrace Coach the way the original target demographic did.

Coach may also be seeking to take advantage of its fans by roping them in with the lower prices it charged a couple years ago and then raising prices to take advantage of their loyalty......and that may also backfire on them, because a lot of those people will probably just stop buying Coach because they don't like the prices.

I'm totally with everyone on the increasing prices........but I'm afraid that seems to be an ongoing thing these days. Check out the prices on Dooney, Michael by Michael Kors, Elliott Lucca, Perlina and others. You'd be lucky to find good quality bags under the $250 range these days. I'm always amazed when I browse through my Lucky and InStyle magazines and see handbag "designers" that I've never heard of charge $400 + for their bags!! :yucky:

I've spent hours looking through the new catalog and, I think I've finally identified what I want (and can afford haha)

I'm interested to see if the continual jump in prices affects profit or sales. I know they are pricing me right out of buying and I'm sure I'm not alone. It seems like the price jumps have been huge leaps rather than gradual hops.

Well maybe there is a market for super expensive bags, I don't know. Time will tell for all these designers really. The whole designer handbag trend could come crashing down if the economy goes south and the prices keep going up. I'm not going to not buy food or gas because I want a new purse, kwim?

Some of these prices are a little crazy!

Luckily, I am not attracted to any of these over priced things at the moment.

But seriously, I am not gonna pay more than $450 or so for Coach, so they better keep pumping out some of the typical $200 to $400 stuff. If I have to pay more than $500 I am taking my business to LV and Fendi. I think affordability is part of Coach's appeal and it loses something when it gets to get out of line.

I felt the same way you did way you about a year ago which is why I hadn't purchased any coach in quite a while until recently. I bought a LV bag which I love and quickly got hooked but LV had had like three price increases this year. The same bag I bought a year ago is now $30 - $40 more. You can't buy a LV bag now for under $650.00 Anything less expensive is an accessory or TINY.

Some of this stuff is making me SO excited!!!! I haven't been so excited about some of the new products Coach has put out in a long time! The Coach perfume bottle is so cute I almost want it for the bottle itself!.. And I absolutely LOVE the bag that Voodoo posted!

The style # for the teal wallet is 41505 and it goes for $218. Its a legacy patent wallet.
I like that juliette also but man 1098! Go for her Teena so we can see her also!

I agree 1,100 is crazy - even on sale i am sure the purse will still be a fortune. It will be interesting to see how coach fares in the future as it tries to find the luxury consumer and retain the "bargain" shopper at the outlets - I wonder if it is possible to keep both customer groups happy while still maintaining their image and stock price.

By the way I am a happy bargain shopper :) :) let's hope some of these legacy babies eventually go on super sale so I can buy them w/o feeling guilty.

My word! $1100 for a Coach bag? You can totally buy a Prada leather gauffre bowler at a price close to that! (Like $1350) Unbelievable! Even the MJ stam is only a couple of hundred dollars more retail!
