The Legacy bags were some of my most favorite
Coach has ever introduced. To me, it was that more modern twist on their popular vintage styles. And they sold like crazy. The duffles in all the updated colors? Loved them. The archival bags? Loved them. But...
I don't expect Vevers to revisit the legacy styles because he has his own vision of the future for the brand. I just find it interesting that they are already admitting that they need to introduce more bags in the lower price range. They are hitting price resistance--buyers have finally hit the limit in both contemporary and premier brands. I would hope the quality wouldn't suffer on the less expensive styles, and maybe under Vever's direction it won't, but we will have to wait and see.
I suppose this topic fascinates me because I have long been offended by companies that continually raise their prices as if a higher price tag is synonymous with quality and exclusivity. And so many people buy into that mentality. Yes, making them more expensive might mean fewer people buy them but I don't believe it has much to do with them being superior to other brands. I would put some of my older Coach bags up against almost any other brand in terms of quality and construction.
