agreed.
and, honestly. i will NEVER understand people using the argument "well, for x more, i could get a lv." yes, you can. but it's an entirely different bag. the little i know of lv, what can you get for $600 (besides a speedy?). not a whole bunch. maybe something that is about the size of a clutch. in coach, you can get a pretty darn good (large) bag. it's all about what you want.
and it really saddens me that people are so into the name of a designer. like i said before, if you love it, get it. end of story.
