Long story short, needed to replace my Large Black Sophia bag with a new one. I found this bag on clearance, 50 and another 30 off! It came to $130!!

I needed a black bag, and have always loved this print. Off all of you that have this bag or the saffiano taxi totes, how are they holding up? Any issues? Would love to hear from you!

A Red Currant Taxi Tote is on hold for me at an outlet , clearance price $102, am tempted to add that to my collection...it will be my only red bag...thoughts?

Great deal! It's a very pretty bag and I love how wide it opens, but I'd be worried about those skinny straps. I can't imagine they would last as long as your Sophia's straps.

I hope they do! This better be made as strong as it is advertised too, it can carry a laptop? I dont intent to carry a laptop... Would love if others chimed in as to how their bags are holding up and how often they use theirs...my faith in Coach is a little shaken, especially with the new policies in place and my experience with the Sophia..

I've only had my taxi tote a few months, so I can't tell you how it's held up, but the times I have used it, it's been great. As long as I don't over load it, it's comfy on my shoulder. It is easy to over load though....it's so big!! It just fits SO much stuff!! I've started using it more as a travel bag than anything lately.

I have the ocelot print taxi. I use it for work and yes, if you overload it, the skinny straps will try to cut off your shoulder!

Every single corner started to show wear - and I mean peeling. Thankfully the corners have a lot of black. So I used a sharpie to color in what I could and put a dab of nail polish remover over it.

Thank You for info/intel!! I have bad shoulders so would not load it up, but thought this size might be ideal to carry my wind cheater/ light fleece for the evenings in the summers and scarf and gloves in the winters along with my regular items. It sure is a big bag. The smaller zip top version would jave been ideal but this was the only good looking girl on clearance, in a non light color. So she came home..

Great price! I have this bag and have had no issues with it, it's still in perfect condition. It can get heavy loaded up, but I don't carry much so it works well for me.

Oh no!! I am not liking what i am hearing..i saw the ocelot print yesterday, i steer clear of bags with any white in them...i guess a sharpie would work on this one too but for what we spend on these bags, we should not have too..

Thank You!! After visiting the Coach store, my friends and I headed to an outlet mall and made a stop at the Coach Outlet too. I needed a new bag and the price seemed right.. Plus i have always loved this print! If this breaks on me, am not sure what i would do!
