I received a card for 25% off from Coach and.............

HULAGIRL — Tue, 04 Mar 2014 20:29:32 GMT

it's burning a hole in my pocket because I can't use it until Mar. 7th.........

I've been on the Coach website and can't take my eyes off this one.

I'm wanting some feedback on the bag I'm seriously considering. It's the large Bleeker Cooper perforated tote in tan/silver color. It comes in a smaller size, but I'm thinking of just going with the big one......the discount is a good one and I love the simplicity of this bag.

I considered the TSV along with some other Oryany bags but I'm not sold on the color blocking and industrial looking hardware.

I would choose Coach over Oryany any day! Go with what you love!

I feel your pain...I'm eyeing the MADISON CARRIE IN GATHERED TWIST LEATHER in black but even with the 25 % discount I have a hard time spending that amount.

The Bleeker is $428 and with $107 off, isn't much more than the price of the bag I had to return to the Q today because of shoddy manufacturing problem......I didn't go with my gut when I ordered it and swore I'd never buy anything from the line, but loved the style.....should have known I'd be burned. (guess that's my justification for getting the Bleeker). I guess we've got a couple of days to decide for sure.......that twist leather is a beauty, too.

mine arrived in mail too.... i'm trying NOT to look at the site - I really can't possibly find another place for a handbag...... REALLY! But that hasn't stopped me previously - thus the issue! I really just would like a new springy wallet it doesn't have to match any particular bag...... I will look, I know me!

Those bags are lovely, ladies - wear them in good health!

Hi,

There is a Coach outlet is in Delaware. They gave me a 20% off card when I entered the store. They also had some pretty good mark downs along wit the 20% off. There is also a QVC outlet near there.

I hear ya......so hard to resist. I think Coach has been doing a great job of coming out with different styles.....Dooney bags are all starting to basically look alike to me.

I also wanted to add that I picked a new wallet from the Q......the one that protects your credit cards.....it's leather and I'm finding that I really like it. I ordered a pink one and the color is nice......

I've had a Coach Bleeker Tote for 3 years. It's my daily work ""briefcase"". I waited nearly 20 years to get a Coach briefcase/tote and I do love it! Mine is a solid copper color...the model I have been discontinued.

I have been brutal to this poor bag and it still looks amazing. And I've only conditioned the leather maybe 3 or 4 times since getting it.

I've been a huge Coach fan since 1986 when I was still in college and put my first bag on layaway with Higbee's! So I'm definitely biased when I tell you to invest in the Coach over anything else the Q has to offer.

I know that I'm 99% sure I'm going to get it.......I really like the perforated leather and figure the tan/silver color will be something I can carry all seasons.

Hi ladies! I typically don't spend a lot on a purse, but got 2 at really good prices and after receiving a significant Coach gift card for my b-day, I'm looking on their site for another. Is there somewhere I can get a coupon code for their site? I really do like their purses, but it's still a lot to spend on one!!

I would grab one of those smaller Bleeker bags today if not for these 2 reasons:

For Christmas, my son and daughter-in-law gave me a lovely Kate Spade bag. She works at the new Kate Spade store in our area and gets a discount.

Not to mention that just 2 weeks before Christmas, I had bought myself a new Coach bag (can't think of the name of it right now, I think it is just called the Madison east/west tote). So I have 2 new "upper-end" handbags so I cannot see buying another one so soon. But I really like those Bleekers!

look at coachfactory.com. It is usually invitation only, but the site allows you to register and have access right away for the first time. This past weekend it was open to all.

My sister and I got really nice purses all 50% + an extra 10% off. Check it out. I have an Oryany Taylor bag and I love it but for totes I prefer Coach.

My new Bleeker Cooper Perforated Tote is on it's way to me......I'll let you know what I think when it gets here!!!!!! (got $107 off/free shipping)

Lucky you! I have been on the Coach website email list for a long time but never get the discount cards!!! I have been a devotee of Coach for years and years. There is a Coach outlet not far from me but the quality of the factory outlet stores is not up to what they sell in the B&M stores. I also like the D&B bags but I find that they are heavy, even before you load them up.

I have purchased two bags from their website before and I think that might have something to do with getting the 25% discount card......I get discount cards two or three times a year (if I remember right).....I don't always use it, but I just happened to be in the market for a new bag this time.

I have no idea. I got the discounts after purchasing something online, I think Prior to that, I never had received them. Had gotten factory store discounts before.

I don't like the MFF stuff, but I think they are going upscale now, so they have worked on improving factory store products.

Coach bags are definitely going up. They want to be known more as a "luxury brand" and not "aspirational." That would be Dooney and Bourke. Time will only tell if the new strategy works.

So hopefully, you get to enjoy your discount. I even get the exclusive ones--a joke. It gets to be ridiculous after a while. You can only buy so much and I don't use mine now.

Wow. That 70% off clearance at Coach outlets have some great choices. Came away with a clutch,but could have spent so much more. Really wanted a multi-color logo tote,but none to be found. Anyone know how long the sale goes?
