Whether you’re a fan of the All-American brand Coach, or not, you can’t deny your curiosity towards seeing their latest designs each season. I always look forward to seeing their nice (and not-so-nice) pieces. For the past couple of years, I’ve seen drastic changes done to their brand, basically it seems like most of their goods are less classic in design followed by outrageously expensive price tags. Take a look at one of the many newbie’s by Coach; the Legacy Pieced Leather Flap Hobo is its name. I’ve never been crazy over the brands infamous patchwork bags, and this hobo leaves no exceptions. I’m bothered by the collaboration of suede, leather, haircalf, nubuck, and soft-pebbled leather patches, it just doesn’t appeal to my likings. The only details found on this piece that I’m fond of would be the hobo’s design and that nice shoulder strap, other than that, this bag is way to medieval-themed for my taste. Stiff, heavy, and trendy is what I imagine this Coach bag to be and the outrageously overpriced MSRP of $1,200 is enough to make me turn away with no doubts. A classic leather Coach bag sporting a rich hue is a yes in my book… while this bag is definitely a nay!

Have you gals seen the latest products Coach has to offer? I’ve always found interest in the brands infamous Legacy line, especially in their leather goods. Chunky brass hardware and thick leathers have always been Coach details that I admire, which leaves no secret to why I truly dig the Legacy Top Handle bag. I’m not a typical Coach fanatic and I tend to browse their latest products out of curiosity in finding a stunning item, such as this bag. The giant flap top, the turn lock, and the versatile bronze hue are great! I love how much detail Coach applied to this bag, yet it’s not too hectic. Although this bag does seem pretty heavy and might cause pain or bruising to the crook of your arm, don’t give up just yet, a handy detachable shoulder strap can be found on this piece for your health convenience! This bag is really convincing, but what’s keeping me from buying it? It’s the retail price tag, as I’m definitely not feeling the $758 price tag. I think I’ll just wait until some spectacular sale goes on… that’s if I don’t find something else I want. Ladies, what’s your input on this Coach bag?

Coach has been making some pretty bags lately but not only are they still made in China, they have also increased the prices in their handbags quite a bit. One of the handbags I like but have different feelings about is the Julianne. I think the Julianne is a very beautiful handbag but it looks like Coach got their inspiration from fellow rival Louis Vuitton. I’m sure everyone can agree with me that the Julianne resembles the Louis Vuitton Palermo in many ways. The shape, style, and even the strap of the bag says Palermo all over it. One thing the Julianne has beat over the Palermo is the variety of colors it comes in. My personal favorite color is the Magenta, but the Julianne also comes in Black, Expresso, and Teal. Being that the Julianne has a length of 15 inches and a height of 11 inches, it is very spacious and has plenty of room to store all of your essentials.

The Coach Julianne retails for $458, which makes you miss the old Coach days of reasonable prices. The Julianne is a great handbag for this fall, but is a bag that is made in China really worth the $458 price tag? That’s for you to decide, but one thing is for sure, that even if the Coach Julianne looks like the Louis Vuitton Palermo, it still is absolutely stunning.

Dainty and extremely refined, the no-fuss, no-frills, no-nonsense Carrie Double Pocket Satchel from the Coach Legacy Boutique is sure to win a few hearts. If the clean lines and starkly attractive color palette don’t do the trick, maybe those inimitably classic details will. From the roomy outer pocket to that telltale turnlock closure, this little purse is unmistakably Coach. It’s an ideal choice for the woman who’s searching for the antithesis to the capacious, slouchy carryall.

Kissed with shimmer, the gleaming Faux -Python- Frances is an exclusive piece of the Coach Legacy Boutique. Just roomy enough to store an evening’s worth of essentials, it’s as attractive as it is functional. It also has an adorable handle and a strap, which makes it practical if you’re especially not interested in clutching your purse all night long.

Could your search for the perfect everyday bag finally end here? Presumably, if Coach has anything to say about it. The Soho Leather Satchel aims to please trend-loving fashion mavens who still appreciate a touch of classic simplicity in their wardrobes. This satchel is smart and practical, loaded with pockets and compartments galore. Red is such a neutral nowadays that this would fit nicely into any woman’s arsenal. It may be basic, but it boasts those little details that make it an intriguing purse. Also in pink, black and saddle.

Color me impressed! Tory Burch has always kind of bored me, but here she strikes gold (or would that be fuchsia?) with her fabulous Anne Dégradé Satchel. The structured shape is so classic and unassuming, but the color - appropriately called “Party Fuchsia” - might just put people in a trance with its brilliance. The downside is that the trendy dégradé effect may not seem so enticing in the near future. Many have called it the tie-dye of today - and look where that is now. Right now, though, Anne is one striking bag. Also in black.

Suede adds an instant shot of luxury to nearly anything. Example? This Coach Suede Kristin Bag, an otherwise fairly simple purse that’s coated in the rich material and accented with light leather trim. It’s only available in brown, so keep that in mind if you’re considering it. It’s practical and attractive, but it’s also a tad bit boring despite the fact that it’s impeccably made and boasts such touchable fabric. I’d love to see it in a berry or evergreen shade, instead of the season’s most basic neutral.

Typically, I would not expect Coach to release a funky and edgy design. But alas, Coach realized that the masses are into the deep and dark skulls and crossbones. Really though, it is not deep and dark, it is just edgy and totally hip now. The best part is the Coach Skull Charm sports silver and black leather with metallic trim and costs a mere $38.

Eva Longoria Parker is living the dream. She plays on the hit TV show Desperate Housewives, is now on the big screen, and recently married San Antonio Spur basketball player, Tony Parker. Eva is all smiles nearly every time she is photographed. After leaving a photo shoot, Eva Longoria was seen wearing a hot blue number paired with her Coach -Python- Miranda. As prices in handbags skyrocket and buyers continue to look for more luxurious options, design houses like Coach, who are known for their more affordable bags in the realm of the handbag world, continue to raise their prices and bring in new option. In the past couple years, Coach began to release alligator and -python- bags to compete with the exotic push in the luxury market. Many shoppers say they would not splurge on an exotic bag from Coach, but Eva seems to love this bag!
