Hi Everyone ! I am debating between these two bags . The Louis Vuitton one I would have to buy pre owned but thats ok as there are many sites now I do trust and offer free shipping if that bag does not work out .
I mainly arm carry my bags , but also like the option of a shoulder strap when I need to be hands free .
I will be carrying the bag for work and just casual everyday . I do only work part time though . And do not tend to stuff my bags .
Here are the two I picked : http://www.neimanmarcus.com/Coach-1941-Cooper-Glove-Tanned-Carryall-Tote-Bag/prod204700089/p.prod
Or...https://www.yoogiscloset.com/handbags/louis-vuitton-quetsche-epi-leather-brea-mm-bag-50509.html
I hope these links work . The first one is the Coach Cooper in black . Its new so can not get just yet .
And the second one is the Louis Vuitton Epi Brea in the Quetsche color . Which is a dark plum .
Any thoughts or opinions you can share on either of these please do ? ! Thanks for your help :)

I like the Coach better, but that might be down to price and the fact that I'm not that into Epi leather. I like other leather types more. Both are pretty bags, so go with your gut on this one. If all else fails, make a list of both bags' pros and cons. It usually helps to see what you really want!

have you ever felt epi before? unless you're sure you'll like epi i'd try to touch something epi before you pick the lv. i do own one epi piece, but it feels like an upgraded plastic tbh. you can feel every ridge and wave and it wouldn't be soft like the coach. not everyone likes epi when they feel it.

This exactly! This is my problem with the Epi leather. It looks and feels kinda fake and plasticky.

Yes I have ! I love a more structured bag , so I guess this is why I do love Epi leather . It is stiff , yes I agree .
I also love the Coach glovetanned leather as well . BUT ....I hate a saggy , shapeless purse . So Its very hard to find soft leather bags that hold there shape . Does this make sense ? :)

Thanks for the reply !!! I will make a list of pros and cons :) The price , yes , theres always going to be a big difference . LV never goes on sale VS Coach , always on sale . Even pre loved , many times LV is still more expensive .So I can see your attraction to the lower priced purse . I like Coach's leather bags , but only the ones that hold there shape . I tend to go for a more structured look . :)

ok, then i vote epi. it's all-weather and if you decide to resell you'll be better off than w/the coach. if you prefer the coach def. wait for a sale as the other post mentioned, don't pay even close to retail.
