COACH ROCKS! I used to be addicted to Coach bags. Truly, I bought Coach like crazy. I LOVE this stuff! I've been addicted to Coach for over 30 years.
I have every bag they came out with some 10-15 years ago -- every single bag, including all the accessories: wallet, makeup case, eyeglass case, cell phone case, key case, even a little bag to hold my butt wipes! Belts, back packs, fanny packs -- you name it, I bought it. The outlet closest to my home was my store of choice, and the manager of the outlet used to call me every time they got a new style in -- I'd make the trek out there the following weekend and buy up everything I could. Once, I bought 3 bags at the same time.
It's a sickness.
Now that I'm retired, I no longer shop for anything, certainly not Coach! But I still have all my old purses, because you can't kill these Coach bags. They truly DO last a lifetime. All the brass is solid brass, and the leather is extremely sturdy. The older it gets, the better it looks. You can't go wrong with Coach!

P.S.: Don't buy it in the stores; it's too expensive. Find an outlet! All the bags in the outlets are overstocks in perfect condition: too many of one style or too many of one color. They're automatically a quarter of the price in the stores, but they also have a sale table of bags that they REALLY have too many colors of, and they're marked down another quarter -- so you can get a bag from that table for half the price in the stores. No joke.

Coach DOES INDEED ROCK!! I go to the outlets in Hagerstown, MD, and you're right, you can pick up any Coach bag for 60-75% off!! They last forever, as evidenced by my mom's Coach collection (can you tell I learned the addiction from her??), and they're so classic they go with anything, including jeans!!!
My favorite is the Coach city bag in black. Small in size, holds a ton! 
Hi my name is Nelly and I'm a Coach-aholic!

... is $500. But it's signed by the maker, and has a leather lined interior too. It's a Stefano Serapian and I like it cos it's square leather and has a rubber bottom which is perfect for resting down in a washroom sink or movie theater floor.
I rotate between it and my Coach classic '80's city bag, depending if I want to carry more or less.
Dalia's seen it! We hefted each other bags in NY when we met in January!!

Atleast you were a smart shopper Bev! You had an addiction, clearly! But atleast you had some common sense and bought via outlet LOL
I used to have a great purse...it was kinda like a bag and I could hold in by the top straps or it would fit over my shoulder.
Now that I have Bentley I have a double backpack deal. A large one for his diapers etc and a smaller one for me that clips to the front of the big one. When I drop him at the sitters I just unbuckle my smaller purse and go. It's perfect! I just got it before Christmas...it was on sale from $75 to $25 so I knew it was written in the stars for me to own this unit LOL

Nelly???? Your purse cost you $500???? OMG! That's an expensive purse you have. Guard it with your life! 
I just buy the $25-45 no-name brand purses. Whatever I find that's cute and is practical.

Sounds like those square bags airlines used to give out in the 80s! Bet that's nothing like them, huh?
My favourite handbag (sorry, purse! ) atm is a straw one I got on holiday. It's big enough for everything I carry, the straps JUST fit over my shoulder so I can carry it either way and most importantly for me, it stands up on it's own so nothing falls out when I put it down!

I am unfortuanley no help here because I cannot get myself to spend a lot of money on a purse. I am the cheapy Target or even Meijer brand girl. I do like some of the knockoffs that I have seen at purse parties. I could probably get myself to buy one of those! Good luck purse hunting!
