i just love the legacys altogether more. i mean, i think it's the leather detail, the simplicity yet timeless look and overall....turnlock. same reason why i brought the turnlock stripe planner.
i play with it all day. much to my classmates' dismay because it does make a tiny click sound. now i just do it at home occasionally.
when legacy was first introduced, it was launch in all stores across America, recently, as of the end of january, they have brought back all the legacy pieces to certain stores named the legacy stores...there are 15 of them in America (according to the book i have) but i also noticed that a lot of stores still have legacy...i think it just depends on the location. san jose's valleyfair and emeryville is definiely not flagships or higher (well, maybe san jose can be considered such, but the size of that store is average) so they shouldn't have it but they do.
the thing that sets legacy i think, and what reed is banking on, is when
coach first started out with bonnie cashin that meant a lot more then just a 'fashion trend' as some of the more elaborate styles that come through every month...
he's dipping his feet into both categories. the timeless ones that makes you spend more $$ but you covet it more.
and what has made coach stock soar...those fun bags that are just for a moment or two...not as expensive, and most likely the next month you'd be looking for something new..coach's price range would fit and make luxury affordable.
i think the biggest compliment i've heard from someone about Coach was this french woman who was a world traveler- she loves our style and thinks the quality is well made, along with the merchandising and look and overall feel of the store. it's something i can't quite describe.
then again if i do describe it it'll lose all it's luster
