My apologizes; I do not know how to post pictures from websites.

I am on a bag ban, but have a birthday coming up and I have two things on my wish list; the bracelet above and the Bleeker Accordion zip wallet in the painted dot canvas.

Honest opinions; what do you guys think of the bracelet and the wallet? Do you the bracelet is overpriced for what it is? I only own a Coach bangle and a watch so I do not know the quality of their other jewelry pieces.

As far as the wallet, I am looking for a wallet that I can throw in any of my bags and have it match semi-well. I go between neverfulls, the new Madison hobo in chestnut and a few poppy Willis's. I thought the accordion wallet with the blue dots would be cute. What do you guys think? I want this to be my last wallet for a while.

Thanks girls! :smile1:

I like the bracelet, but I wish they had put all the dimensions on the website. It's hard to tell exactly how big (or small) it is. Have you seen it IRL? Either choice will be great!

I love spending other people's money. :p So since you asked....

Unless you are absolutely in LOVE with the bracelet or have to have a Coach bracelet, you can get a sterling silver bracelet with crystals pretty much anywhere for at least the same price or usually cheaper on sale. I'm especially thinking Kohls. The design of the bracelet is not my particular taste but that's for you to decide for yourself. I love silver just not this particular design. I would personally put my $100+ towards something else. Unless you love this piece, then that's very important and it's not a horrible price for a sterling silver bracelet with a designer name. I guess if you would be happy with another bracelet but this is what Coach had, save your money. If this caught your eye and you really love it, then go for it!

As for the wallet, I LOVE the Bleeker dotted. And it's one of the more reasonably priced wallets that is pretty functional IMO and will suffice for most occasions. Important if you are living in it for a while like I do.

If I personally had to pick, I would go wallet as something I would get more use out of and the bracelet I would hold off until either a sale or another time. With jewelry, I can always find something to please me. Wallets are a little more difficult for me to find and like and pay for so that's what my decision making thinking would be.

Good Luck and I can't wait to see what you get! Happy Birthday! :presents

I have not seen the bracelet in person. Our local Coach is super small, so their jewelry inventory is limited,

Here is something I did not mention; I have a $100 of $300 purchase. I know for a fact I want the wallet, but on the fence on the bracelet. It was either that or a wristlet (the pebbled one in cornflower) that I thought of adding to the wallet to make the purchase over $300.

Does that change anyone's opinion? For both, it would come to $216 plus tax.

Oh then this is an add on item. It depends. Will you use the bracelet or wristlet more? To me a wristlet is the same thing pretty much as a wallet so if you are getting a wallet for sure, I'd go with your bracelet for your wrist rather than the wristlet.

Yes on wallet and add bracelet..not wristlet. I love the bracelet and I think that's a great add-on, and if it pushes you over the $300 mark..it really will only cost you $28!! Yes!
