Coach Handbags Collections Guide: More Than Bags
By admin | July 2, 2008
Coach handbags should be present in each woman’s wardrobe, as they are a symbol of elegance and style, without being very expensive like most designer handbags are. Coach bags have the quality of being multifunctional, many collections including tote bags with lots of pockets for small stuff a woman can’t live without. In this way, busy women will always be able to find everything in their purse, from lipstick to make up and sunglasses. Besides, even bigger Coach tote bags models are elegant and can satisfy even the most demanding lady.
What’s In A Coach Hand Bag?
Coach handbags, besides the years of history behind them, offer an exceptional quality which not many leather goods manufacturers can be proud of. Every detail, from the laces to the zippers, or the slightly rounded corners, has been thought in depth, and has been assessed, in order to offer the modern girl a touch of glamor and perfection.
Let’s take for example, the new Coach Sophie Signature hand bag from the Bleecker collection: it has a long stripe so you can wear it across the body or over the shoulder, and it comes with a perfectly assorted wallet, matching the colors and the model of the bag’s exterior, so the woman will feel good each time she takes the wallet out of the purse. This reminds me of old times, when every handbag came with a matching wallet inside, and they were not Coach but common, no name bags.
Here you are some characteristics of Sophie Signature Coach bags:
- Zip pocket in the interior of the bag
- Exterior multifunction pockets for mobile phone or other accessories
- Ring to clip an accessory or keyfob
- Zip-top closure
- Signature jacquard textile material with lightweight or metallic leather trim
Like all Coach bags in the Bleecker collection, the Sophie Signature can be worn on your shoulder or cross body, thanks to its 31 1/2″ adjustable strap.
Ladies, don’t ignore Coach Handbags.

By admin | June 17, 2008
Every girl would love to wear fashion tote bags assorted for every outfit and for every moment of the day. Unfortunately, not everybody can afford to spend hundreds of dollars for bags and purses in vivid colors and unusual shapes, which you’d wear about twice or three times a year. Most ladies would get a big black handbag or tote bag for daily use, plus several small purses for occasions. Once in a while, they would get a Coach bag from one of the old collections, like Hamptons or Carly, which they would use on very special days or nights.
Fashion Tote Bags Rentals
However, there is a good solution to have all the fashion tote bags you want without having to buy them or to steal them. Now you can simply rent them by day or by week. The prices are affordable, you can have designer fashion tote bags for as low as $6 per week. Do you want Gucci tonight? So be it!

Coach Bags Collections Comparisons
By admin | May 6, 2008
Coach bags are my favorites. But you probably know that already, as I’ve been writing only about Coach bags ever since I’ve started this site, which was supposed to be about all designer handbags brands. Of course I intend also to write about the others, like Prada, or Louis Vuitton, or Fendi, but for the time being, I’m just fascinated by the Coach stuff, and especially the leather collections.
Coach handbags comparisons: Coach Signature Stripe Floral, vs. Legacy Gigi Leather Tote
First of all, both Signature stripe floral and Legacy Gigi are totes, which makes them very convenient for day to day use, when going to work, or whenever we need to carry with us a bunch of items which wouldn’t fit smaller purses.
As you can see from the beautiful photo above, the signature stripe floral can be called a spring or summer hadnbag, because of the pink flowers which match very well my summer wardrobe. I also have a pair of shoes in the same pink shade, and you can be sure that all looks are on me when I get out in the city wearing this nice bag.
However, I wouldn’t wear this purse when going to an official business meeting, or to an elegant reception or dinner. It is rather a casual model than a haute couture one.
The Coach bag Legacy Gigi is all leather, and it is available in more colors, like this brass / teal you see in the photo, or wallnut brown, or brass / camel, or brass / black.
A bit more elegant than the floral bag, this Legacy model is yet not suitable for dinner parties, but it can go for business meetings which are not extremely official.
The accessories of this bag are very beautiful, and the two exterior pockets can help you to find your items quickly, provided that you rmember in which pocket you’ve put them in the first place.
If you were to buy only one of these Coach bags, which one would it be?

Where To Repair Coach Bags
By admin | April 23, 2008
There’s probably no statistic on how many women actually repair their bags, handbags or purses. I never do. However, in case you have a designer bag, like Coach bags or some other known and expensive brand, you may want to get it repaired in case of damage.
If you didn’t know, please find out that at least for Coach bags there’s a possibility to have them repaired by the producer directly. All you have to pay for is the shipping and handling tax, which in case you are from US, it is about $20. Coach offers lifetime guarantee for their bags and accessories, and they would fix it for you regardless the reason of the damage.
The best thing is that in case the evaluator decides your bag cannot be fixed, Coach would either send you a new one, or a voucher for discount when you shop for another Coach bag or other accessories. This is what I would call a leather goods company which cares about consumers.

How To Spot Fake Coach Bags
By admin | April 22, 2008
If you want to buy Coach bags online, then you might want to make sure that you buy the real bag and not a cheap replica. Not that Coach bags are very expensive, as they are rather inexpensive compared to other designer bags like Prada or Guggi or Louis Vuitton. Nevertheless, they are not the cheapest bags out there, so they are prone to fakes and you can be scammed.
I can’t tell you there’s a 100% certain method for spotting fake Coach bags in online stores, but the least you can do, is to buy from their original website and not from eBay or Amazon or other sources, especially those were people can put their personal items to auction. In that case, the shop has no responsibility, it’s the owner who posts the auctioned item and it’s his pitch you’ll read on the auction’s page.
The most obvious fakes are the ones which do not reproduce exactly the original bag: for example, instead of the “CC” logo, you’ll see a CG or a GG. This is the easiest case when you can detect a fake Coach bag.
If a bag does not look like the ones you know, then you can compare it with the photos which are published on the Coach website, as they have there all their collections, with a lot of photos for every handbag. If you cannot find a match, you should question its authenticity.
Under no circumstances will a Coach bag have the CC pattern on both the outside and the lining. It may happen that the pattern is not present at all, but Coach never uses it on both the interior and the exterior of a handbag.
If the fake is not so well done, you’ll spot it immediately, because the bag will look sloppy, with irregular stitches, plus the leather will be visibly of poor quality

More Coach Bags Collections
By admin | April 21, 2008
We started to talk about the Coach Bags collections a few days ago, but we didn’t have the chance to finish our handbags listings at that time. We are going through the remaining bag collections now, and we shall start with one which is not my favorite, but surely has its charm:
Madeline Coach Handbags Collection
The Madeline Tote has a hexagonal shape, and it comes with a zip-top closure. It is a handbag, which means the handles are too short for my taste. I always like to hang my bags on one shoulder, in order to have both hands free. But for women who want to be elegant without exaggerating, the Madeline bag is a perfect match. These bags are available in a great variety of colors: red, black, yellow, blue, brown, fuchsia, or combinations of brown and gold. The small, fancy ribbons attached to the handbags give them a youth look.
Signature Stripe Tote Handbags Collection
The Signature Stripe collection follows the trends of all Coach bags, these bags being defined by a colorful stripe model and leather trim in the upper part. They are very suitable for all day use, for going-to-work purse, or girl shopping handbag. Their size is medium, but it’s enough for you to put inside the wallet, the agenda and some sets of keys. You can choose between the scarf model, the pouch bag, the stripe shoulder, or the scarf patchwork model. All of them are vividly colored and please the eye.
Coach Ergo Bags Collection
More sophisticated than the other collections, the Ergo bags are shiny and soft, and they follow your body’s lines. The choice of colors is rather scarce, but given the fact that they are supposed to be in a note of classic elegance, they are the best in dark brown or black.
The Baby Bags Collection
Maybe the smallest collection of Coach bags, but definitely good looking and extremely stylish, either you choose the Optic Signature Baby Bag, or the New Hamptons Weekend Stripe multi-function. These bags come with extra pockets and a changing pad. Just beautiful and fucntional.
