Hello.

I'm looking to get a coach bag for my birthday in May and I was wondering what a good first bag would be. I basically need something that I can fit a small notebook in and a medium sized wallet. Also something in a nice colour would be a plus! I'd be really grateful for your opinions!

Can you give us a little clue as to your preferred style? Are you more of a satchel wearer or do you like shoulder or crossbody bags? There's so much out there that it would help us if you could narrow it down. I'm excited for you to get one you'll really enjoy!

I think I'm a satchel person? I'm a bit confused as to what defines a satchel as I always think of the crossbody bags with the buckles like a Cambridge Satchel. I'm also not opposed to a tote bag as long as its not too big. Thanks for your help I'm excited too!

I always considered a bag that is worn mainly by the handle or the crook of the arm, because of the short drop of the handle/strap, as a satchel. Nowadays though, a lot of the satchel-type bags also have a longer removable strap so that you can also wear it as a shoulder bag or crossbody.

I think the Julliette is a good choice and you might be able to find one at the outlets. It comes in gathered, pleated, patent or regular leather. The Candace is more of a tote and comes in various sizes and it can also be found at the outlets right now. If I were faster at searching (and not at work) I could probably steer you to links of reveals. Just do a search by those 2 style names, you'll probably see lots of pictures and mod shots. Hope that helps and let us know what you choose.

I'm really liking the look of the Candace because it seems like something I could wear with anything. The Julliette is lovely but I just feel like the Candace is more classic and a better choice for my first bag. I'm going to have to go look at both bags first seeing as I'm in the U.K and have no way of ordering and see what colours are avalible to me. Thank you so much for your recomendations! :smile1:

This struck me as very funny.

It's a legitimate designer inspired bag without "Coach" or any logos anywhere. Why she thinks it's "authentic" and "Coach" is beyond me.
