Official Coach Spring 2019 Thread

Coach will never be premier unless and until they get rid of the outlets.

Gucci is premier. They have outlets. Coach not closing their outlets nor will they stop discounting

ITA. They had their chance with the 1941 collection but opted to increase their outlet presence instead. We're on our third "generation" of rogues now; each decreasing in quality and construction. First gen had the lock, thick glovetanned leather and substantial hardware; second generation lost the lock along with thinner glovetanned leather; newer rogues are without the key fob! Madness I tell you.

I love the 1941 items at the outlet. More in my closet. Even first generations which I recently just purchased and going to get a few more once they go back to 70 off. They going to get there money. Trust me

So Coach is now venturing into $1000+ bags. Does this make them a premier or just a high priced contemporary brand?

Coach has had $1000+ bags for years...the mini-stud Edies and Taxi Totes from 2014 come right to mind. The top of the line retail leather Coach bags have always skirted the line with the premier brands like LV.

High price contemporary. They'd have to consistently present and sell over many seasons most bags over the 1k price point, and have some in the over 2k and 3k mark. Add to that, they could not have more outlets than retail stores or produce low-priced items for their outlets.

I'd argue they would have to have a larger permanent collection and abolish most if not all outlets as well.

Maybe I’m wrong, but the only Coach 1941 item that did not make it to the outlets were the 1st Generation Rogues, the ones with the thick pebble leather handles and the lock and key. Those were the best!

1st 2nd 3td or 4th, all 10m of my rogues are the best. Leather on all are amazing

I’m talking about the 1st generation Rogues that had different zipper pulls and an actual working lock with a key. The leather was thicker especially on the handles. The next generation had different zipper pulls, different leather on the handles and no lock but still had the key hood but no key since no lock.

Ah I love that bag! I wish they made them like that again! I have the "2nd gen?" black/prussian and even a F-creeded rogue shoulder, and both are great IMHO, but the 1st gens nothing compares.

Yes! I have that black/Prussian too! They are all great bags but Coach really outdid themselves with that 1st generation ones, it spoiled us!

Sorry for hijacking this thread! Maybe we should start a new thread on bags that didn’t make it to the outlet and see how many we can come up with LOL!

 

[crazyforcoach09]

I am sure there is one already

 

[holiday123]

hmm I don't think my royal tearose camera bag did. What else? those crystal embellished mailbox in metallic smoke, the ice blue mailbox 24, all those LE kisslock bags....Of couse I'm sure @crazyforcoach09 would be successful doing a found order for them haha
