I did see the KS one! At $189 it's less than the $199 Coach outlet and the $295 Coach retail version. The drawback with the KS one is that it's a final sale. Is it worth the risk? Also the lining in the retail version looks the nicest (which I would expect). I have to admit that I like the looks of the retail one the best.I cannot decide either, if I wait too long they will sell out! I think the Coach bag with the brass hardware looks a bit nicer than the Coach Outlet bag, but I agree, $100 nicer? That would buy a wallet. I don’t know if you like the brand, but Kate Spade has a lovely heart shaped bag also, in leather.
ETA: The retail one has a leather strap and the outlet has a chain strap. I think the leather strap might be more practical. (???)
