I've been unimpressed with the look of Coach bags in recent years; I think they're too trendy and cutesy. My attraction to classic Coach is just that it IS classic- timeless design that you buy once and use for the rest of your life... which would never happen with some ditsy little lime green pouchy, like Coach has been turning out lately. That having been said, my daily companion is a 5 year old red Coach Hamptons diaper bag that's just the right size to shlep music, book, lunch, and everything else I need for work and gigs. It's probably gonna last me the rest of my professional life (and for the amount I paid for it, it had better )
