fashion nowhere

I will try to tread lightly on this subject and not get too emotional or offend anyone. But seriously, if I never see another one of these Coach handbags with the c's all over 'em, I wouldn't complain. I just don't understand it. Why would a person choose to spend $398 on this bag? In my mind, the only reason is so everyone will know what brand your bag is, because come on, it's not a cute bag. Whatever, I've never been a fan of flaunting labels. I just feel like any attempt at individual style is tossed out of the window once you put this bag on your shoulder.

I actually never realized how much these bags cost until I went to the Coach website to get the above pic. So I decided to enter a hypothetical world where I had $400 to spend on a handbag. After less than 10 minutes, this is what I found:




1) Marc by Marc, "Aline" Satchel, $335. 2) Stuart Weitzman, "Cala" Bag, $247. 3) UO, Sabina Convertible Satchel, $245. 4) Kooba, Corseted Detail Hobo, $357.

All four well under my $400 budget and soooo much cuter than the "c" bag, right?

I don't like the one with the c's all over it but I like the actual design of it. You should see the leather ones they have and I think they're lovely

Yes, I completely agree that the leather Coach bags look great! It's the ones with the c's that I don't really care for. I don't understand why a person would choose one with c's over a leather one. :-)
