Good question. But they last a lifetime. I will do anything for a coach...don't tell DH that.

High quality leather, superior handstitching and detailing.


As far as their fabric bags, it's only the name.

I don't buy fabric Coach bags. I only buy the leather ones. I feel justified doing that.

You pay for the name. Period the end. Sure, I guess you could say that they last longer or are made better than other bags. But really. Who cares how long a bag lasts...chances are you're going to want to buy many of them in your lifetime...

It's just a company marketing off of the fact that people feel better about themselves when they have things with name brands on them to show off.

You can also go to the outlets and get one for less....I can buy 2 then!

I guess if you buy the trendy styles, you would want to change frequently. I usually buy classic style clothes and accessories and so I am still carrying the Coach bag I got in senior year of college (98)

MY Dh calls my bags 'Roach Coach' because they're small. I like small bags.

I have one - a small one - it costs $138.
All my bags my entire life, never cost more than $30.

I know my mom would love one - I just can't see spending $300 on a bag!!

Me either.

I read an article about 'luxury' brands lately, and Coach was mentioned (positively) for being a 'luxury' brand that's more accessible than others (i.e. Louis Viutton, etc. which are much more expensive.)

ETA: I have one that I use almost daily- I have had it for three years and it looks brand new. It was worth the money to me.

Yeah something about spending $700 on a LV bag that is vinyl seems silly. I would rather spend $250 on a leather Coach in one of their classic styles and have it for 10+ years.
