Best Coach Handbags and Purses:

Unlike many of the other designer handbag companies that started in Italy, Coach began more than a half-century ago in a family run workshop in a Manhattan loft. The company started by making handcrafted, high-quality leathergoods and the legendary Coach workmanship was born. Consumers began to seek out Coach products for their high standards and innovative designs. Today, the most searched for handbags and purses on the Internet are from Coach. The Coach handbags are released in collections that feature new shapes, styles, materials and classic designs. Coach purses and handbags all strive to provide comfort and convenience for their owners and seams are double-stitched for maximum durability. To provide each piece consistency and color all the interior bound edges, handle straps, and inside pockets are made from the same leather. Only the top 10% of leathers are selected by Coach handbags which guarantee originality and uniqueness to each one. We read somewhere on the Internet that Coach products are so well made that they could last a lifetime except that fashion and trends change so often that women buy new purses/handbags every few years to replace the older models eventhough they are still in great shape.
Coach handbags



We will delve into the replica designer purse market in more detail below, but if it were not for such quality, must-have appeal for Coach handbags there would be no reason to have a knockoff Coach purse. Coach brand purses and bags have stood the test of time and come out on top over and over again. Coach makes a variety of handbags including the Legacy handbags, duffles, gallery totes, signature stripe handbags, Chelsea handbags, Hamptons handbags, Soho handbags, shoulder totes, classic signature handbags and baby bags. They come in small, medium and large handbag sizes and are defined as in hand, on shoulder, or across body types. One reason why Coach handbags and purses remain so popular is that celebrities like Jessica Simpson use their products and are seen in Hollywood or at large events displaying the Coach products - this is great free publicity for makers of designer bags like Coach. We will start with the best Coach "in hand" bags and purses. The most popular models are the new Legacy Signature Satchel ($648) that offers vintage styling, a zip-top and dogleash closure. The jacquard fabric with leather trim is elegant and timeless. The Legacy Leather Top Handle Pouch is smaller than most but the price tag is reasonable at $168. The Patent Gallery Tote in mahogany for $358 is chic and roomy. The Coach Hamptons Signature Large Carryall ($358) is another favorite this season with plenty of room. Really a large tote, this Coach bag features Signature fabric and lightweight leather trim. The best "in hand" Soho handbag from Coach is the Mia Leather Satchel for $378 - sleek, long straps, and feet to prevent scuffing. My wife prefers the Chelsea Optic Signature Demi ($178) - a smaller shaped bag which she says works well for work or going out. Check out the latest Coach handbag collections onnline at Coach.com.

Top Shoulder and Across Body Handbags:

On the shoulder bags are worn either by your side or tucked under your arm. The Coach Legacy collection offers quite a few shoulder handbags worth looking at including the Legacy Suede Shoulder Bag ($398), the new Mandy Suede Courier ($798), the Katy Travel Tote for $398, or the Ali Signature Shoulder Flap for $458. The most popular Coach duffles are the Leather Medium Duffle ($298) and the Signature Duffle for $228. We also like the Signature Stripe Reversible Large Tote ($298) - luggage tag, monogramming available, and 5 color options. Other "on shoulder" bags from Coach that sell well are the Chelsea Leather Hobo ($258), the Optic Signature Baby Bag ($398), the Coach Hamptons Pebbled Leather Small Hobo ($178), the Coach Hamptons Signature Book Tote ($358), the Coach Soho Signature Large Hobo ($298), and the Coach Soho Signature Multi-Function Tote for $498. The Pebbled Leather Shoulder Tote ($348) is something I bought my wife this year - not too flashy, with classic Coach style and design for a fair price. The "across the body" handbags from Coach are getting excellent reviews from consumers for fashionable looks with functional needs. The Signature Medium Duffle ($278), Signature Stripe Taffy ($128), Coach Hamptons Stripe Swing Pack ($138), and the Coach Soho Signature Hippie Flap are top sellers. Just remember that when purchasing a Coach purse, the price will be high but the smile you see on your wife or girlfriends face will make it all worth it. They are truly a gift that will last a lifetime. View the most popular Coach handbags here.

Replica and Fake Coach Bags:

"Imitation is the greatest form of flattery" goes the old expression, but the counterfeiting of designer bads from Coach is out of control. The black market for imitation or fake Coach handbags and purses is enormous and hurts the sale of the manufacturer. Ebay has been cracked down on by legal teams for allowing the sale of replica Coach bags, but it still doesn't slow down the people who produce these things in oversea markets like China. The status symbol associated with having a Coach handbag over your shoulder is so powerful that women will buy replica Coach handbags just so they can have one. The way that the knockoff Coach bags are made today, it is hard for the average person to tell the difference let alone a certified reseller of Coach products. When in doubt, take the bag to a Coach store and see if they can tell you if it's real or fake. Fake Coach bags are only about $50-$100 and really do look identical to the authentic Coach purses and handbags. Just recently Coach was suing Target stores for trying to sell fake Coach handbags and the lawsuit was dropped since Target claims they bought the bag wholesale from another department store and didn't realize they are replicas. It is illegal to buy or sell replica products of trademarked goods, so only buy Coach bags from officially licensed resellers and stores.

Coach Diaper Bag:

This category shocked me when I found out that a prestigious, luxury brand like Coach actually carries diaper bags. You would figure that the 2 don't go together, but we found that women want any accessory item that shows "status" even if it's a diaper bag. After a little more research we found that Gucci, Prada and Kate Spade also make expensive diaper bags for the more sophisticated moms out there. The Coach diaper bag retails for $398 and features functional details like extra pockets and a changing pad. The Optic Signature Baby Bag from Coach comes in 4 color selections (Pink, Blue, Black, Khaki) and is a stylish diaper bag designed for any mother on the go. There is an inside zip pocket, 5 open pockets, a diaper changing pad, back snap pocket, two side gusseted pockets, a zip top closure, and fabric lining. My wife has the Kate Spade diaper bag and I must say that it has held up well through 2 little kids over the last 5 years. You can find the Coach diaper bag online at the Coach.com website.
