Ok this this the thing, I have always enjoyed fashion period. This would include my love of great bags of course. My issue is that I have two JC's A Black mahala and a Rianne, Lv"s multicolor speedy white, the LV elipse and mini loping bag. YSL Muse bag ivory or white can"t remember what the actual color is. Ok and a few others and have a Prada antic cervo and Ramona on the way. Now this is the thing I bought a Coach Carly saddle and khaki large. I loved the hardware on it and the slouchy it reminds me of the Gucci horsebit which I took back way to big. I just feel weird that i have all these high end bags then a coach. Is that wrong I almost feel like it's a cheap bag $398. i need help from my new friend's. what do you guys think? be honest everyone.
Jimmy Choo not sure if i'm a bag snob?

If you choose not to carry it just because of the brand name you might be selling yourself short on a great bag. I am not too familiar with Coach bags these days, but I have seen some recent Legacy bags that are wonderful. I was in Coach with a friend and was struck with how their new styles resemble Mulberry now. Hmmmm, wonder if this is just a coinincidence?
Now, if you have no desire to carry the bag because they pale in comparison to your gorgeous Mahala and Rianne I fully understand

Michelle - sounds like you have a phenomenal collection! And I love that Carly!
IMO, a gorgeous bag is a gorgeous bag, no matter the name brand! I have always loved Coach leather and style (not so much signature) but I recently fell in love with the leather and styles of Chloe and I am now trying out Jimmy Choo. I recently bought and returned a Guccissima Bouvier, a Rafe Sue tote and Be & D Stella because the honest truth was that I did not like the leather on either of the bags I'd gotten. But if I see a Coach with leather I love ... I'm getting it! All the better if it's at the factory store AND on sale!Here's my current collection with my well-loved Coach Mia Soho satchel (top left - it has gorgeous pebbled leather and braid strap!) which I regularly rotate in with the rest.
I love the Carly and am very tempted to buy to too. I mix a lot of brands. I just got a Botkier Bianca on sale and while it can't match my Riki in terms of the quality of the leather and hardware, I'm definitely keeping it because its such a fun stylish bag.
Somehow, I understand about being a snob. Before I started to get into my higher end bags, I had a closet filled with Coaches and Dooney's. Once I bonded with my first Chloe, I had a sell-off on eBay. After all, I needed more closet room for my new collection and these bags have "attitude" -- they did not want to sit next to a Coach or a Dooney. With that said, I still have yet to find a bag that is more indestructible than a Coach. But do I really want a bag that will always look younger than me?
