So I went to the outlet and did some looking around and I found this lovely little Patricia Saddle bag F59380 with Lapiz studs and it was a steal on clearance. I didn't realize it was a factory bag until I got it home but honestly it feels very luxe and looks great. When my rouge hurts my shoulder this will be my go too!

and speaking of the Rogue! I got this great little cactus charm for my every day emb patchwork!

So now no more purchasing for a while for me I will live vicariously through you all for a bit as I save for my next rogue (I see you rogue 39). I was considering the rogue satchel at the outlet on my adventure but I didn't like it for myself personally but the pricing was insane $318 for regulars $425ish for exotics. I will probably regret not getting one. Anyone near The Mills Jersey outlet mall I highly recommend it so many deals to be had!

You haven't been with Coach long enough to see a trend. There was a time when you couldn't find a green bag. Blues, except for navy, were also scarce at times. Back in the 80s, every bag came in the same 10 colors. They updated the colors occasionally but usually had black, navy, mahogany, burgundy, and British tan or saddle.

Wow, this is so interesting! With my love of color variety, I don't think I could have been a Coach fan in those days. At least there was a Red in the mix, but over half the colors being in the Brown/Beige family seems so odd now. And i'm sure there was no hint of embellishments or Bedazzler experiments on any bags either. :lol:

Although Betsy Johnson might have fulfilled the youthful, more playful, purse and fashion demands back then. I forget how long ago BJ debuted, maybe in the early to mid '70's?

Then again, leather wasn't her specialty...sorry, I'm thinking out loud while typing...lol.

Back then, I don't recall anyone changing bags, at least among the people I knew. So most people carried basic colors that went with everything. When I bought Coach, I always chose something in the brown family, possibly British tan, because in my mind, that was the color leather was supposed to be. The leather they used was so gorgeous, it was prettier in "leather" colors where you could notice the grain.

That's true -- people simply didn't change bags so frequently. I think I'm projecting my CURRENT taste and/or circumstances, onto what once WAS the norm, where very few people even questioned such things. But my fashion sense and discretionary income were also at a different level in the past -- many other lifestyle choices and/or priorities, limited my purchases of (at that time) 'luxuries'.

I've been staring at rogue bags for what seems like FOREVER, and had my eyes set on the black one as an early birthday gift to myself (treat yourself!). I went into the Coach store where I live and came out with this one! Love the color & the saleswomen were so helpful. Coach stores in Massachusetts are fantastic.

In the 80s I bought one Coach a year for about $100. When I got the new one, I would donate the old one. I'm kicking myself for that! I sure wish I had them today. I don't even remember what styles I had.
