Thanks again for your thoughts, folks....
I'm really curious after my last purchase (err....yesterday) about the new line coming out this fall. More than one SA that I've been close with at
Coach has said that I might be surprised with how much I will like the new stuff. They keep mentioning that what I've seen (on the link I've shared) isn't really representative of the whole line for Fall, and the manager at Coach yesterday describes it as being "like the old Coach, only better. What you saw is for runway -- the really showy pieces. There will be a more toned down look that you'll love."
That's hard to believe given the examples shown in that link (aside from the turnlocks, etc)
....but....well, I guess we'll see. I'm certainly curious. (But the price point increases seem to be a given, and I'm bummed and turned off about that. To me, Coach has always been - and should be - about good quality leather goods available at reasonable prices and MADE IN NEW YORK).
Again, we'll see. We're all watching you, Stuart.
