Handbags

I still use my old leather coach bags.  I stopped buying them when they changed their logo to the gold script on the bags. I never liked that look.   I would never buy a non leather bag from them.

I was gifted one; perfect size but I never carry it because of the weight.  I really should find a new home for it.

I have several Coach and several that are the original print.  I used to carry them often.  They still look brand new and wear like iron.  I thnk they did kind of fall out of favor and other brands like Michael Kor and Kate Spade, etc. kind of were more popular.  I don't intend to sell mine.  I just don't go any place much these days.

Coach was the only brand I would buy when their leather was good.  I was never into the logo bags just the classic style leather bags.  They then tried to reach the younger crowd with bringing in the "Poppy" series which really cheapen it.

Coach definitely fell out of favor with me in the last 10 to 15 years or so. I had quite a few of their beautiful leather bags in classic styles...expensive but still affordable. And then they decided to go after the younger crowd in what I called "teeny boppy styles" with doo-dads hanging on them....and of course the prices went up significantly in my opinion. Their ads of young girls carrying those goofy bags was the last straw. I stopped buying them at that point. The vintage bags are beautiful..and always will be in a class of their own.

I brought about six or seven leather coach bags in different styles and colors back in the eighties they wear iron.  I never knew they were out of style or could ever go out of style.

Coach bags were high quality leather back then and I can't believe how I carried my coach bags, wore heels and commuted to work on the train.

I stopped carrying my coach bags because they got heavy even when I went from wearing heels to sneakers.  I need to start using them again.

I only had one Coach bag, but I loved it.

My Mom gave it to me in 1960 something. It was called "saddle"  design and is now considered vintage.

It was a heavy. soft but flexible leather and someone told me the gorgeous leather was also used at one time to make base balls.

Anyhow, I am now using Cross Over bags;  they are much lighter and less worry then when I was shopping and had to keep an eye on it all the time.

A friend of mine noticed the bag when  I wore it and admired it ,,,,i.e. vintage, leather etc.

So I gave it to her and she was thrilled.

And I was so happy to send it to a good home.
