@whateve has given you a lot to think about. One other thing to consider is do you what a zip closure, a simple magnetic tab, a flap that folds over or a bag that is more or less an open tote ...

I'm a little disappointed with my Light Tote in that it doesn't take much in terms of contents to make me feel like I am stressing the handles. But it's good if I have to carry something oversized or odd shaped. One time I was in situation where I didn't want to be obviously carrying a cooler bag with my lunch. It fit right in my Light tote and was the perfect solution I was looking for.
Yes! The photos have helped me begin a EBay search and a watched list. I forgot that I too carry a drink and something for the refrigerator so I have to accommodate that too. I have an old Coach tote my daughter got me years ago from the outlet store, and it has seen better days as it is a canvas/leather combo. The straps seem to have taken the most wear.
Lovely!If I could own one in every color I would. I haven’t even seen one in person yet though haha.
I have the azure ergo and I love it so much. It’s my favourite of my four ergos.
I really like this COACH tote, but I do not want a product that is made in China. Of course, Nordstrom's couldn't tell me for sure that I would or would not get a Made in China bag. I was hoping someone might know. It is the Willow Colorblock Leather Tote. Are there any totes that are guaranteed not made in China? Any help would be appreciated.
What about the rest of SE Asia? AFAIK, all modern Coaches are made somewhere in that part of the world, but I doubt if there's any way to guarantee exactly where something's made. There are Coach factories in Myanmar, the Phippines, India, and Vietnam as well as China but I may be forgetting one or two countries. MAYBE Thailand, Cambodia or Indonesia but I don't have any experience with current styles or know which of those countries still have operating Coach plants.
Wait for more opinions.
NONE of Coach's products are made in the US. In fact I don't think they've had any working plants at all in the Western Hemisphere since about 2004, Costa Rica was probably the last. There may have been half a dozen styles since then made briefly in Turkey or Italy but anyone who wants a recent bag made in the US isn't going to find one. Anything more recent than 2002-2003 that claims to have been made in the US is almost 100 percent sure to be counterfeit. There are also fakes from the last 15 or 20 years with creeds claiming to be products of Turkey and Italy as well as the US. Of course, fakes often have fake serial number stamps and date codes so there's no way to tell when any of them were actually made.

Just wanted to share that there’s an aqua blue and olive green quilted Pillow Madison on 24S. Not sure if these colors are coming to the States at all, so it’s a great way to get them if they aren’t.
Word to the wise. I ordered a bag from 24S as a gift for someone. When it arrived, I took the tags off but otherwise as received with packing, etc. It was too small for the recipient so I was going to return it. They would not accept the return as the 24S tag was removed. Lesson learned on my end.
Oh no, that stinks. I’ve never ordered a bag from them, but have ordered jewelry. I’m sorry that happened….the little Paris pop-up packaging is so adorable though.
Ty, I ordered the green! Was torn between this and the green Ruby, hoping I love it as much in person.
Does anybody have a chain/strap recommendation for a strap to wear with a Nolita 19? I got the Dinky strap but it was too long on me. I also tried doubling it up to make it a shoulder bag but I felt it was too much chain for such a small piece.
