Sad but true… when I wear my B, I carry/ wear it back to front with its distinctive front facing me AND with a sweater draped at the top hiding it.. I’m an equestrian and loved the brand for its heritage many many years before I ever bought mine….
I know what you mean - I'm more wary of wearing my Gucci monogram Horsebit bag in certain places than my more anonymous Loewe Puzzle, despite costing about the same.
SAME!! I got it in black with nickel. Love it!! It's easy to care for, a little polish and like new. They don't make Coach like that anymore, unfortunately. The vintage is the way to buy now for Coach.
I purchased my first Coach bag back in 1986 ( Swinger lightweight ) $ 105 dollars. I still have the bag and it is in perfect condition. Plus, I could resell it for more!
Coach outlet, absolutely NOT. However, the Coach boutique blew me away, it was literally an entire Luxury experience (mind you I haven’t purchased ANY contemporary since my early 20’s, until recently). I went into a Coach Boutique a few weeks back and I was blown away not only by the beautiful leather bags, but the entire experience TOP NOTCH!!! 💯 Soooo much better than my most recent LV purchases and experience at the LV boutique… I’ve purchased several bags in the past weeks at Coach, and let me tell you the leather that you get for the bag that you get definitely you get the value!
I’ve worked for both Coach Boutique and Outlet as well as some lux brands as an SA and even their outlet options are better than other brands offshoots quality wise. (I know this because you damage out bags by cutting them and seeing the guts of the bags tells you how long they will hold up. What is under the leather matters.
Coach has recaptured the joy of getting a new bag. You open the box and are shocked at how well made and reasonably priced it is. That's what they've perfected in 2023-4.
@@Laurenlilly902Hermès can STILL argue the point because they still have Artisans creating their bags. But LV & Chanel which have lost that “quality “ stand point due to mass production and loss of quality control. That’s a department that they probably “cut” so now they loss that soapbox to stand on. LV at least is BEGINNING to catch the hint that the shut up and just buy our stuff mangled or not tactic is no longer working and customers across product lines are demanding more and shunning for the greedy price increases and insults(aspirational). If you want to charge us an arm And a leg then the product needs to match the premium price tag. Chanel is the last holder onto that nasty sales philosophy above and are doubling down at the risk of financial and status irrelevancy. If you notice Coach and Hermès are the conversation at the moment. Chanel & LV are currently NOT except to say that the quality doesn’t match the price tag and how people are stalking preloved sites in search of what was.
Coach hit a sweet spot. People are annoyed with the fashion house quality. So they are providing great quality for a reasonable price. The new creative director came for LV. So enjoy it while it last😂😂
I've got a vintage Coach which was made in Italy - it's got a pigskin lining! I actually own several vintage and new Coach bags. I'd consider paying full price to secure a new release as some of their styles are limited edition.
I think that’s exactly right. I have Coach bags as old as 40 years that still look great. Particularly if you stick with their leather options, they are quite hard-wearing. I can’t speak to their current customer service, but when my briefcase was damaged a few years ago, they did the repair for free and charged $20 for the return shipping. Given that an exterior D-ring attachment had to be replaced, you couldn’t see any sign of repair at all. If I see someone with a coach bag, I assume they have taste and common sense. 😂
I have bags from both brands- including a recent purchase of one of the gold-plated Dooney and Bourkes with the vacchetta leather. I am sad to report that the Dooney quality has gone down. It’s still good just not as good as it used to be.
I own older Dooney bags, mostly their Florentine leather, and they are beautiful, high quality, bags. Have not purchased a Dooney in years, so can't speak to their current quality. I also own several Coach bags, both boutique and outlet. Obviously the boutique bags are better quality, but I have no complaints about my outlet bags. I'm also not afraid or worried when I carry my Coach & Dooney bags, as opposed to my LV bags. I carry them with joy in my heart, because I love them so much, and am not worried they might get a scratch, stain, or God forbid water mark. Also, I think Coach's SLGs are better quality and value. That's my 2 cents, for what it's worth. 😊
Not Michael Kors!…. Coach is so much nicer! I have recently bought a few items…full price, and do not regret the purchases!!! Quite honestly, I get the same “feel” sporting these items that I do my Chanel, LV and Hermes!!! I purchase for the item, not the brand….i simply buy what I love!!!!💕
I think it's about buying what you love, regardless of brand! I have several brands, some high-end, some mid range, and some really affordable. The common theme is that they're all bags I love, and I enjoy using, and I enjoy how they finish an outfit - it's not always about the logo.
I have bought from nearly all the big designer houses (Hermes, Chanel, Dior, LV, Bottega, Fendi, etc.) and I also own three Coach bags, the most recent one being the Quilted Tabby 26. I LOVE my new Quilted Tabby. I have five Chanel bags (four of them classic flaps) and no longer feel safe wearing them out, so I bought the Quilted Tabby since it gives off a similar vibe. Turns out I love it even more because I don't need to be precious with it and the leather is buttery smooth. If people like me who own Chanel flaps are buying this bag, and people who could never afford a Chanel bag are buying this bag, Coach is hitting that perfect sweet spot where different types of consumers are buying their products.
This comment 👆🏻 right here, hit the nail on the head! I also have 2 Chanel flap bags, and others, but I am obsessed with My Coach Quilted Madison handbag, the leather is just to die for, it’s also my black Quilted Tabby 26, AMAZING! I’m preferring them more than my Chanel’s as of late.
It could be argued that the delicate nature of the Chanel classic flap is what makes it a luxury, in contrast to Coach having better functionality. Both good leathers but one is delicate for an occasional wear bag and the other is supple and soft, yet hardy for a great day-to-day bag. Luxury is usually something you don’t have or use often, due to its high expense.
So I’m gonna go deep and I’m going to say because I have experienced some family loss this year and the past year, that anything material that brings a smile to your face can be considered luxury whether it comes with a hefty price tag or not. Price and affordability is subjective to different people in different areas and different walks of life. Having said that, I’ve never owned Chanel or Hermes, but I have owned quite a bit of Coach in my day, and there hasn’t been one time I’ve opened a package that it hasn’t brought a smile to my face. At this time of my life, THAT … IS luxury.
Amen. Wish you much strength. I'm thrilled with my recent Coach purchases. I was able to buy an additional chain strap with the bag without losing sleep over the price. Once it arrived the joy increased exponentially.
@@amorgladiador8856 thank you for your kindness 🙏🏼 and honestly, I agree with your comment. There’s no better luxury than being able to get a good quality piece that you can actually enjoy guilt free. I don’t know that I would ever be able to use a Chanel bag without being extra precious with it and that takes the fun out of it.
COACH doesn't always send boutique items to the outlet. People fail to realize their outlet pieces are different from the boutique and COACH puts out collections specifically for the outlets. Those were some nasty comments and COACH is way better than Michael Kors.
Coach was very passé and cheap feeling and looking in the late 90's to early 2000's I want to say. Then around 2015 with new creative director they reinvented themselves and I've been addicted since then. I have Chanel, Gucci, LV, Chloe, and other "luxury" bags but my coach bags are my go to...I feel comfortable and safe carrying them at all times. This is true for Coach retail only IMO and the leather versions not the canvas and logo stuff. Although the canvas is good quality it just reeks of that cheap late 1990’s-2000’s Coach that I hated. Coach is definitely higher than Michael Kors level.
I was gagged when I went into a coach OUTLET, yes OUTLET and the leather felt so good, way better than LV. I went into LV for a backpack and I was treated very poorly, not even acknowledged. I walked out with nothing. Went to the coach outlet the following week just to look around, gagged at the amazing quality.
Totally agree that Coach should focus on American heritage. Make them in US again and I would pay double+. Get rid of the C logo and use the original turn locks pls.
Coach outlet bags are coded with an F in the serial number. Those are like Michael Kors. Coach Boutique bags are of a different quality. I'd personally rather buy 10 Coach bags of different styles than waste money on a single bag. So, I think if you want "Many" bags of great quality Coach works. They had 10 years of WTF, but they found their way back.
Collected many great Coach pieces 20 years ago, graduated to Louis Vuitton and Chanel about 10 years ago… I love them all. Just got the new denim tabby and it’s adorable. Thank you for highlighting this topic, Dacob 🎉
I’m so glad you are talking about Coach! I had a closet full of Coach bags 15 plus years ago until the logos flooded the market. I bought a Coach bag last week and I love it. It reminds me of the Legacy line of the past. The leather was like butta! (butter!😂)
Vintage COACH, early 1990's was a brand that if you know, YOU KNOW. What I would consider "quiet luxury". Excellent leather craftsmanship with a great history. Apart from the hangtag that said COACH, (if you knew the brand), you recognized the styles and knew it was Coach. My very first "luxury" bag was the COACH Wallis. Not Willis, Wallis. It was a simple all leather, dark navy crossbody half moon flap bag (postman's lock) with a back slit pocket, all brass hardware. Made in the USA. I still have it to this day. My next 4 Coach bags were all made in the USA. Fast forward to early 2000's when Coach switched gears and started plastering their "C" logo everywhere and suddenly production was moved to China. They LOST me as a customer and I never shopped Coach again. Whoever took over back then, ruined the brand (to me) with quirky logos that catered to teen-somethings equating the brand to Michael Kors which I detest. Coach had lost their way. They should go back to their roots, bring production back to the USA and get RID of the "C" logo
I recently got a Chanel mini rectangular in black. I have worn it a total of maybe 6 times and one of the corners is already scuffed. I take so well care of that bag and I feel that it just shouldn’t happen that fast. On the other hand my Coach bags are in pristine condition even though I hardly baby them like I do with the Chanel bags
Same with me. My Chanel bags aged super fast. I have several Coach vintage bags I bought on Ebay and they look ageless. One is the small convertible belt bag and must be over 20 years old and no loss of color, no scuffs and hardware looks great. It really makes you rethink what luxury should be.
I don’t think Coach is a luxury brand, but it certainly is a solid contemporary brand, in my opinion. They have their hits and misses, just like any other brand. I have some Coach pieces and I enjoy them very much!
I recently purchased Coach bags and shoes for my wife and daughters, and they absolutely love them. My wife has an old Coach backpack that she uses every day and treats like a $20 bag, but it's incredibly durable. Despite being at least ten years old, it still looks great. I must say, when you buy from a luxury brand like Coach, you receive fantastic customer service from their stores or online. I highly recommend Coach products. I know a lot of people focus on discounted bags, but it is nice to have great customer service. And they do not cost as much as a small car.
Love that you’re talking about Coach. I totally agree, I wish they would continue to lean hard into their own heritage and make more of their really smooth, buttery leather designs with that gorgeous heavy brass hardware and the turnlocks that don’t have the big C logo. Those styles are gorgeous!
Agree. Just bought a reissue Coach glove tanned leather bag. Love it. Granted, the leather is not as thick as the vintage leather but it's still amazing quality.
Coach was my very first handbag and has been a staple in my collection ever since. I have other brands but I always end up back in my Coach bags!!! And yes I do pay full price for a bag if I want it bad enough cause sometimes the shade or style sales out before they go on sale. And I do appreciate that they have sales because I can't always drop a large amount of money at one time. If I do get a bag on sale I am still proud that I own it. I love Coach and I will always be a client of theirs!!!
Coach quality, especially at the boutique level is top notch. A lot of the current designs rival legacy luxury brands for a fraction of the cost. Lastly, from my experience I have enjoyed the customer service I get at the boutique even if I don’t end up buying anything.
Coach is great quality. Love the Coach Swinger bag. A classic. The shopping experience I get at my Coach store (Not outlet) is enough for me to consider it luxury. I normally get offered water while I browse.
I love the swinger bag I own two one in the wine color with chain and a chalk white swinger it’s my all time favorite bag from coach and indeed a classic 🥰🥰
Now that I know the Luxury Brands are manufacturing $57 dollar bags and up selling them for thousands of dollars. Coach/Marc Jacobs/Dooney and Bourke/ Kate Spade is ALL I’m buying.
I can only afford Vera Bradley bags. People are complaining that Vera has switched to recycled cotton.I can't tell the difference. I still love their bags.
@13:36 Coach is definitely higher quality than Michael Kors… I usually wait for the Coach sale… but when I notice certain bags doesn’t go on sale I do buy it full price..
The quality for Coach bags are really amazing. Although I never considered it a luxury brand, there are certain styles that are appealing to my eyes. I would consider buying more Coach bags in the future whether luxury or not.❤
Coach been around since 1941, but because its not from France or England then everyone put them down. I've always loved Coach leather since childhood. Yes its made in China like Tory Burch or most US Handbag Brands, I don't think we can change that but its fun, colors are fun and they have prices that fit most people budget. I love the Ruby. Coach Outlet is different than Coach Retail. I try to only buy from the Retail because the Outlet is different material. Many of the full grain good bags takes a long time to go down.
Dacob saw your recent insta your out from surgery already❤️ praying for your quick recovery babe🙏🏼 Its always great seeing new videos from you godbless always🙏🏼
Love vintage coach and that the brand is releasing bags with a nod to their roots like the rambler or Kip turnlock. It’s def not cringe and the service I receive is more “luxurious” than Chanel or Hermes.
I have several Coach bags a Brand I love! Respectfully I do not call it Luxury, I buy Coach because of great quailty. I notice a lot of YT peeps buying Coach because it's a trend. I do not buy for trends or to keep up with anyone. I do not own any Michael Kors I just never cared for the bags. I own many Coach Vintage bags and the leather is exceptional.
I looked at the quilted Tabby 26 bag. It’s a reasonably sized bag on the larger side but the internal capacity is equivalent to a micro bag because of the way it’s designed internally.
I have been loving coach lately but the retail coach I do not care for the outlet but the retail bags in my opinion are top tier quality especially the leather bags in genuine glovetanned leather I don’t really care for their canvas either but the quality I feel you get a lot for the price than other luxury brands such as multiple strap options, a full leather bag without the price being ridiculous but coach brings fun and excitement to bags again and is overall a great deal ❤❤❤
I bought several of the Coach denim full price because I want brand new items. I do not buy that much Coach to worry about price. When an item goes on sale it is more likely to be shop-worn or a return. To me it is worth full price to get a pristine item still in the factory wrapping.
Vintage coach, like the Willis bag, those coach bags were solid and well made. My mom used to wear them, and the leather felt thick and sturdy. Today’s bags are better than what they were 8 years ago or so, leather wise and style wise. But I will never pay full price for Coach these days, having paid full price in the past, I think it makes more sense to wait because most likely it will be on sale at some point. A big fan of the Cassie 19 and the Soft Tabby Shoulder bag.
I had a Willis bag in the 90’s A couple of years ago I hunted down a vintage Willis that was beat up. I took it to my leather guy and it looks amazing. The quality is unmatched
I have been faithful to Coach . I love there retail bags and I still have bags I purchased back in the 80’s. The outlet bags are cute but I will always purchase Coach retail . I have tons of luxury brand bags but Coach is a true classic quality staple
I love Coach 1948! Their leather is insanely durable and I still have a limited edition bag from 10+ years ago. When I was a kid I used to browse Macys and told myself I was going to afford one. I still have a few Coach bags, but I can’t believe people still do not consider them luxury
I had/have Chanel, LV, Celine, etc but my favorite is Coach especially after 2020. I couldn't care less if something is "luxury" or not. Coach is a great brand, I don't have to babysit and handle it with gloves on.
Paid full price at the couch store (not outlet) for a Mickey Mouse bucket hat. Sold out in minutes and the bucket hat was never shipped to the outlet. The callab collections are amazing and lucrative.
Mid-range, decent quality for the price. I have several Coach bags and enjoy them a lot. I’m not a fan of the classic canvas but their leather is nice. I’d definitely rank them above MK. I can use the heck out of them and they hold up.
I love them.. I have a few you need to stick for the classic clean leather then you feel the luxury and it’s timeless if you go for seasonal you can feel the less quality Leather and the look can be tacky with some ( but some are cute and cheaper 🤪)
There's a difference between Coach Outlet and Coach . I either go to the boutique or Coach online (Coach Outlet is also online, so there's a difference). Coach has excellent quality and the price is right. Coach also has sales and some of the less popular styles go to the Coach Outlet after a while, but Coach has good quality and you won't get mugged for it. Coach is also a great brand to go under the radar if you can afford true luxury brands. Great way to avoid the lowered quality of LV and Chanel plus huge price increases.
So true. I don't have to project plan my outings with Coach bags . With expensive bags you have to consider everything. Takes the joy away from owning the bag.
I love Coach. The quality is great and classic styles mixed with modern. I have used my medium sized Chanel flap bag 3 times and I bought it 2 years ago. I am scared to use it for fear of it being stolen or damaged! Never again
Years ago my ex-colleague’s sister worked in Coach logistics department. She told me that Coach moved its entire production line to Vietnam. Hence, whether it is a luxury brand or not is very subjective, but one thing I am sure is that their bags’ production costs are very low compared to other luxury brands.
You're right, and knowing how dirt cheap it really is to produce these bags in China and Vietnam (no environmental/labor regulations, etc.) their "affordable" price is actually very overpriced for what you get.
When you mentioned how real lovers don't buiy for the logo - I get that so much. My first bag was back in 2003 and has lasted till now, in amazing shape, and while Burberry check is impossible to miss mine is in pink so doesn't stand out as much as most don't think pink check. But my other bag is a givenchy and that had such a small logo on it that I love it. Perfumes I will, and have, spent on but those are all for me because I like to smell nice for myself. So I don't mind dropping some money on them.
Compare the Coach leather heart bag to the Chanel heart bag. You will be blown away that Coach has the better bag. It's crazy how they have to still prove themselves.
I’m loving my Coach Quilted Tabby 26 in black leather with brass hardware. It’s a double flap bag and just gorgeous quality for $550. I get compliments almost every time I wear it. I prefer the Coach Retail over Coach Outlet, but there’s a lot of bang for the buck at both stores.
I bought the coach Selena Grace bag in red brand spanking new and I still cherish it to this day. It was after I hit a huge milestone at work. I saw the bag before I ever even knew it was Selena’s. That was just a huge bonus.
I got my first coach bag at ten years old I'm not almost 57 years old. I have 80s 90s and 2000 bags . Skip to last two years I went and purchased maybe 40 vintage bags. Recently I just got 10 bags allot from Neiman Marcus and saks for less than 200 for 5 to 700 bags. I got the Chanel dupes two of them today for 1k. I then walked into Macys backstage section got a 4k Valentino for 1000. My boss and mentor died of pancreatic cancer recently I know he us in heaven saying not another bag.❤❤❤
Not every Coach bag goes on sale. Coach makes great quality leather bags much better than Michael Kors. I read through most of the comments and most of them agree. I own Chanel, Fendi, Dior, LV, etc. and still love my Coach bags. Another thing, they are never boring. Most big luxury buyers are surprised when they first check out Coach. Most people who buy Coach have always bought Coach instead of those big luxury brands. Nothing new there.
I think a lot of People don’t know the difference between an outlet bag and a retail bag. You will almost always pay full price at coach retail, unless there a semi annual sale. They person says “Michael kors category” has never stepped foot in a retail store and only has shopped outlet. They make specific bags for the outlet and more high quality at retail. I have so many brands in my collection from LV to coach and I will say the fact that coach is the only brand that people are debating on says a lot about the quality of the brand. People are confused about how you can pay only $500 for a bag that is not falling apart like a Chanel bag is lol. The fashion house is a classic and you will always see people carry thier bags.
I love the Rogue in the soft pebbled leather it is gorgeous! I also, love the new quilted tabby, the leather and craftsmanship is stunning. I also have the traditional “luxury” brands and am here to say Coach is definitely showing up and giving back to this community.
I bought Coach in the 80's, when I was right out of school. I always thought that they were "starter bags" but I haven't been in coach store in a long time. I guess I'm missing out. NanZ
Even though I do not own any Coach items, I respect them greatly for delivering good quality for a price that is accessible 💖✨ Unlike some other brands that charge 8k for subpar quality bags 💀
Coach is making a come back! I bought the soft tabby in CC denim, and it is super cute! I love the quality, they always arrive in factory packaging and the leather on the pillow quilted bags are so buttery. Love the quality vs price.
I love Coach! The quality is fantastic. I only shop the retail boutique. Not the outlet. I feel like I’m getting away with something at their prices. Lol PS I love Winnie B. Glad yall are friends. Of course!!! Cuz you’re both dope AF! I think you would love the coach Rogue in all leather cuz it doesn’t have any logo except on a tiny hang tag. I have paid full price for coach bags that never seem to go on sale. Lol
Discovered the brand a few years ago on TH-cam when l was looking for the pochette Metis reviews and got caught on the glassing drama. Bought myself a Coach Cassie 25 instead as a look alike. Loved the bag so much l bought a few more Cassie 19. Than the Tabby Pillow and now the black denim 20 quilted Tabby. Never have l ever had to return a Coach do to quality issues and that says a lot. To bad they don't have a reputation here, in Italy at least, because they only have stores in outlets and very often they're seen as outlet quality.
I adore my Coach shearling Tabby in the mini. Quality is exceptional and I didn’t want to spend a fortune on a Couture version… mines a deep burgundy and just gorgeous ❤
Coach is awesome, timeless and has a great history. I love all my Coach bags right along with the designer bags I own. Coach is smart because they have something for everyone. The designs range from classic & conservative to trendy, fun and youthful. The pricing is affordable, whether you can buy it full price or wait for a sale. The quality is amazing, way better than Michael Kors, and in some cases out performs what these luxury brands are putting out now.... They're simply winning all around.
I’ve had coach bags for years. I’ve found the quality to be great. I do have say it doesn’t fulfill me as much when I buy one, but I am really liking some of their more recent styles.
Micheal Kors may be in TJ Max but Coach is always available at Ross and Marshall’s. Between that and the outlets, I would never pay full price for Coach, I’ll just wait a week and it will be 70% off..
I quite recently bought my first Coach's: bags (backpack, cabas, crossbody and PC bag), wallets ( 2 red ones and one small eazy in the pocket in brown), pouches (one brown and a dark blue matching with the cabas). Experienced with Louis, Lancel, Longchamp, Tumi, Delvaux for three decades. I'm not a newbie with leather goods. I can say that Coach is very good ratio quality affordability IMO. For most of the bag addicts among the working class we can buy on a regular basis for our use and own pleasure. No need to sell a kidney and a bone. The same cream as my leather sofas and they are perfect. I will consider Coach luxury if I need and they will provide a fixing, new zipper, new strap.... Wait and see. FYI: outlet purchases for now, no shop in Belgium... May be next time in Paris, at least in BHV...
Yes coach is LUXURY!!! It is actually QUIET LUXURY. Some bags are upwards of 800 dollars! Coach leather, well at least vintage leather is of better quality than LV CHANEL YSL and even yes Hermes!!! I have to admit that new coach leather is not as good as it used to be: but my 90s coach leather I feel looks and feels better than my Hermes from the early 2000s !! I own both and I can emphatically say this !!! No Hermes bag can hold a candle to my Coach Miranda leather bag from 2008!!!
My favorite bag is the Coach Rogue and as in paying for full price I have a basquiat rogue 39 that is now worth twice as much than what I paid. Coach does limit their status with the outlet stuff though. But the quality is impeccable on my rogues. Some of my coach is worth more than some of my LV and gucci
Imho coach is a luxury fashion house. To be classified as a luxury brand seems there is no hard rule so it depends on what a person is looking for but coach has heritage pieces and too notch quality and customer service however I put them in a mid tier of luxury brands because there are business aspect of other fashion brands that coach does not have. Some people only refers to certain brands as luxury and does not even know the proper definition of 'luxury'.
Some of yall paying 7k for a bag that’s leather and will fall apart from piss poor construction. Coach has never had a quality issue. Ijs 😊
THIS is TRUE 🤔
Not true! Every handbag I ever purchased for that price or higher has absolutely has longevity ❤
It doesn't matter whether Coach is lux or not. To me, it's an excellent brand, great design, very well made, and very affordable. My favorite brand.❤
Sad but true… when I wear my B, I carry/ wear it back to front with its distinctive front facing me AND with a sweater draped at the top hiding it.. I’m an equestrian and loved the brand for its heritage many many years before I ever bought mine….
I know what you mean - I'm more wary of wearing my Gucci monogram Horsebit bag in certain places than my more anonymous Loewe Puzzle, despite costing about the same.
I couldn't have said it better.💁♀️
I bought my first Coach bag, Willis in 1991. No logo, just turn lock and key tag. She’s still a beauty 33 yrs later! Made in USA. 🇺🇸 ❤
Those were the days. They’re all made in China now.
SAME!! I got it in black with nickel. Love it!! It's easy to care for, a little polish and like new. They don't make Coach like that anymore, unfortunately. The vintage is the way to buy now for Coach.
A classic love my Willis!
I purchased my first Coach bag back in 1986 ( Swinger lightweight ) $ 105 dollars. I still have the bag and it is in perfect condition. Plus, I could resell it for more!
@@peterlangendorff9846 no they arent. they are made all over asia . . Its chrome tanned leather dyed in India and Vietnam artisans also.
I think Coach is a dependable classic. I’m not a fan of their canvas logo bags. But the leather bags are good quality and timeless.
Agree …not a fan of canvas but definitely the leather bags
Coach outlet, absolutely NOT.
However, the Coach boutique blew me away, it was literally an entire Luxury experience (mind you I haven’t purchased ANY contemporary since my early 20’s, until recently). I went into a Coach Boutique a few weeks back and I was blown away not only by the beautiful leather bags, but the entire experience TOP NOTCH!!! 💯
Soooo much better than my most recent LV purchases and experience at the LV boutique… I’ve purchased several bags in the past weeks at Coach, and let me tell you the leather that you get for the bag that you get definitely you get the value!
Depends on what Coach outlet piece you get. I have two beautiful Coach Outlet bags that have amazing quality, better than my recent Chanel purchase
I’ve worked for both Coach Boutique and Outlet as well as some lux brands as an SA and even their outlet options are better than other brands offshoots quality wise. (I know this because you damage out bags by cutting them and seeing the guts of the bags tells you how long they will hold up. What is under the leather matters.
@@Lovemonniibee
Right the outlets has some decent pieces
"It ain't a Coach bag, without a Coach tag"....the leather lasts for years and you don't need to handle it with gloves.
Coach has recaptured the joy of getting a new bag. You open the box and are shocked at how well made and reasonably priced it is. That's what they've perfected in 2023-4.
You get it 😊
Also how well wrapped it is.
I would buy Coach not because I think It’s luxury but because of its quality
But isn’t quality is what makes luxury luxury? LV Chanel Hermes are claiming it’s the quality that makes the bag a luxury bag and so so overpriced??

@luciano6967 Say it again for the people in the back, they didn't hear you!
@@Laurenlilly902 yeah but not only quality. Exclusivity too and other things
Coach hit a sweet spot. People are annoyed with the fashion house quality. So they are providing great quality for a reasonable price. The new creative director came for LV. So enjoy it while it last😂😂
Not Stuart Vevers anymore? (The guy credited for creating Loewe's Origami Tote)
@@OrangeIsTheNewBag Stuart Vevers still creative director at Coach (ex Loewe and LV)!
@@mizmelbourne Thank you!
I've got a vintage Coach which was made in Italy - it's got a pigskin lining! I actually own several vintage and new Coach bags. I'd consider paying full price to secure a new release as some of their styles are limited edition.
I think that’s exactly right. I have Coach bags as old as 40 years that still look great. Particularly if you stick with their leather options, they are quite hard-wearing. I can’t speak to their current customer service, but when my briefcase was damaged a few years ago, they did the repair for free and charged $20 for the return shipping. Given that an exterior D-ring attachment had to be replaced, you couldn’t see any sign of repair at all. If I see someone with a coach bag, I assume they have taste and common sense. 😂
On some of Dooney and Bourke's bags, they have 14k gold plated hardware. If they can have gold plated hardware, so can the "luxury" industry.
I would rather have Dooney & Bourke than Coach if I could afford to spend that much money.
Plating costs pennies to about £3 TOPS.
I rather have both coach and D&B@@OrioleBeagle
I have bags from both brands- including a recent purchase of one of the gold-plated Dooney and Bourkes with the vacchetta leather. I am sad to report that the Dooney quality has gone down. It’s still good just not as good as it used to be.
I own older Dooney bags, mostly their Florentine leather, and they are beautiful, high quality, bags. Have not purchased a Dooney in years, so can't speak to their current quality. I also own several Coach bags, both boutique and outlet. Obviously the boutique bags are better quality, but I have no complaints about my outlet bags. I'm also not afraid or worried when I carry my Coach & Dooney bags, as opposed to my LV bags. I carry them with joy in my heart, because I love them so much, and am not worried they might get a scratch, stain, or God forbid water mark. Also, I think Coach's SLGs are better quality and value. That's my 2 cents, for what it's worth. 😊
Not Michael Kors!…. Coach is so much nicer! I have recently bought a few items…full price, and do not regret the purchases!!! Quite honestly, I get the same “feel” sporting these items that I do my Chanel, LV and Hermes!!! I purchase for the item, not the brand….i simply buy what I love!!!!💕
Say it again!!!
As it should be. Some people buy because of the brand despite hating it.
I think it's about buying what you love, regardless of brand! I have several brands, some high-end, some mid range, and some really affordable. The common theme is that they're all bags I love, and I enjoy using, and I enjoy how they finish an outfit - it's not always about the logo.
Same ❤
I have bought from nearly all the big designer houses (Hermes, Chanel, Dior, LV, Bottega, Fendi, etc.) and I also own three Coach bags, the most recent one being the Quilted Tabby 26. I LOVE my new Quilted Tabby. I have five Chanel bags (four of them classic flaps) and no longer feel safe wearing them out, so I bought the Quilted Tabby since it gives off a similar vibe. Turns out I love it even more because I don't need to be precious with it and the leather is buttery smooth. If people like me who own Chanel flaps are buying this bag, and people who could never afford a Chanel bag are buying this bag, Coach is hitting that perfect sweet spot where different types of consumers are buying their products.
This comment 👆🏻 right here, hit the nail on the head!
I also have 2 Chanel flap bags, and others, but I am obsessed with My Coach Quilted Madison handbag, the leather is just to die for, it’s also my black Quilted Tabby 26, AMAZING! I’m preferring them more than my Chanel’s as of late.
Spot on. Also own Chanel. Too much worry and drama with Chanel. Coach brings back the joy of getting a beautiful new bag.
I also own 4 Chanel bags and recently bought 3 Coach bags this year. The experience was nice I hadn't had a Coach bags in forever.
This is me 😅 I am sad to see that my Chanel bags are so fragile and I just don’t reach for them as much as I do with my Coach, YSL and LV
It could be argued that the delicate nature of the Chanel classic flap is what makes it a luxury, in contrast to Coach having better functionality. Both good leathers but one is delicate for an occasional wear bag and the other is supple and soft, yet hardy for a great day-to-day bag. Luxury is usually something you don’t have or use often, due to its high expense.
So I’m gonna go deep and I’m going to say because I have experienced some family loss this year and the past year, that anything material that brings a smile to your face can be considered luxury whether it comes with a hefty price tag or not. Price and affordability is subjective to different people in different areas and different walks of life. Having said that, I’ve never owned Chanel or Hermes, but I have owned quite a bit of Coach in my day, and there hasn’t been one time I’ve opened a package that it hasn’t brought a smile to my face. At this time of my life, THAT … IS luxury.
Amen. Wish you much strength. I'm thrilled with my recent Coach purchases. I was able to buy an additional chain strap with the bag without losing sleep over the price. Once it arrived the joy increased exponentially.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
@@crazycatladyjo2688 Thank you 🙏🏼❤️
@@amorgladiador8856 thank you for your kindness 🙏🏼 and honestly, I agree with your comment. There’s no better luxury than being able to get a good quality piece that you can actually enjoy guilt free. I don’t know that I would ever be able to use a Chanel bag without being extra precious with it and that takes the fun out of it.
COACH doesn't always send boutique items to the outlet. People fail to realize their outlet pieces are different from the boutique and COACH puts out collections specifically for the outlets. Those were some nasty comments and COACH is way better than Michael Kors.
Coach was very passé and cheap feeling and looking in the late 90's to early 2000's I want to say. Then around 2015 with new creative director they reinvented themselves and I've been addicted since then. I have Chanel, Gucci, LV, Chloe, and other "luxury" bags but my coach bags are my go to...I feel comfortable and safe carrying them at all times. This is true for Coach retail only IMO and the leather versions not the canvas and logo stuff. Although the canvas is good quality it just reeks of that cheap late 1990’s-2000’s Coach that I hated. Coach is definitely higher than Michael Kors level.
I was gagged when I went into a coach OUTLET, yes OUTLET and the leather felt so good, way better than LV. I went into LV for a backpack and I was treated very poorly, not even acknowledged. I walked out with nothing.
Went to the coach outlet the following week just to look around, gagged at the amazing quality.
Totally agree that Coach should focus on American heritage. Make them in US again and I would pay double+. Get rid of the C logo and use the original turn locks pls.
Coach outlet bags are coded with an F in the serial number. Those are like Michael Kors.
Coach Boutique bags are of a different quality.
I'd personally rather buy 10 Coach bags of different styles than waste money on a single bag.
So, I think if you want "Many" bags of great quality Coach works.
They had 10 years of WTF, but they found their way back.
Collected many great Coach pieces 20 years ago, graduated to Louis Vuitton and Chanel about 10 years ago… I love them all. Just got the new denim tabby and it’s adorable. Thank you for highlighting this topic, Dacob 🎉
Yes, I love Coach main. I have a few items and absolutely love them, but you have to be a good shopper. Not all Coach is universally made.
they discontinued the original Cassie, it was PERFECT like a Constance
Reminded me of the pochette Métis. Great bag agreed
I’m so glad you are talking about Coach! I had a closet full of Coach bags 15 plus years ago until the logos flooded the market. I bought a Coach bag last week and I love it. It reminds me of the Legacy line of the past. The leather was like butta! (butter!😂)
Vintage COACH, early 1990's was a brand that if you know, YOU KNOW. What I would consider "quiet luxury". Excellent leather craftsmanship with a great history. Apart from the hangtag that said COACH, (if you knew the brand), you recognized the styles and knew it was Coach. My very first "luxury" bag was the COACH Wallis. Not Willis, Wallis. It was a simple all leather, dark navy crossbody half moon flap bag (postman's lock) with a back slit pocket, all brass hardware. Made in the USA. I still have it to this day. My next 4 Coach bags were all made in the USA. Fast forward to early 2000's when Coach switched gears and started plastering their "C" logo everywhere and suddenly production was moved to China. They LOST me as a customer and I never shopped Coach again. Whoever took over back then, ruined the brand (to me) with quirky logos that catered to teen-somethings equating the brand to Michael Kors which I detest. Coach had lost their way. They should go back to their roots, bring production back to the USA and get RID of the "C" logo
It’s luxury now a days 😅🥰 their leather is actually very good and classy it’s not over done like it was in the early 2000’s ☺️
When Coach was made in US, I had several bags. Now, not so much. Still have my 2 work totes circa 1992 and 1995. Impeccable quality.
Those were the days.
Coach is feel good luxury. You get something beautiful and you don't get ripped off with high prices and sub par quality
They have some bags that are made from glove tanned leather
I recently got a Chanel mini rectangular in black. I have worn it a total of maybe 6 times and one of the corners is already scuffed. I take so well care of that bag and I feel that it just shouldn’t happen that fast. On the other hand my Coach bags are in pristine condition even though I hardly baby them like I do with the Chanel bags
Same with me. My Chanel bags aged super fast. I have several Coach vintage bags I bought on Ebay and they look ageless. One is the small convertible belt bag and must be over 20 years old and no loss of color, no scuffs and hardware looks great. It really makes you rethink what luxury should be.
I don’t think Coach is a luxury brand, but it certainly is a solid contemporary brand, in my opinion. They have their hits and misses, just like any other brand. I have some Coach pieces and I enjoy them very much!
To me they are quality workhorses, mine are a mix of vintage and in store purchases.
I recently purchased Coach bags and shoes for my wife and daughters, and they absolutely love them. My wife has an old Coach backpack that she uses every day and treats like a $20 bag, but it's incredibly durable. Despite being at least ten years old, it still looks great. I must say, when you buy from a luxury brand like Coach, you receive fantastic customer service from their stores or online. I highly recommend Coach products. I know a lot of people focus on discounted bags, but it is nice to have great customer service. And they do not cost as much as a small car.
Love that you’re talking about Coach. I totally agree, I wish they would continue to lean hard into their own heritage and make more of their really smooth, buttery leather designs with that gorgeous heavy brass hardware and the turnlocks that don’t have the big C logo. Those styles are gorgeous!
Agree. Just bought a reissue Coach glove tanned leather bag. Love it. Granted, the leather is not as thick as the vintage leather but it's still amazing quality.
Coach was my very first handbag and has been a staple in my collection ever since. I have other brands but I always end up back in my Coach bags!!! And yes I do pay full price for a bag if I want it bad enough cause sometimes the shade or style sales out before they go on sale. And I do appreciate that they have sales because I can't always drop a large amount of money at one time. If I do get a bag on sale I am still proud that I own it. I love Coach and I will always be a client of theirs!!!
My first bag too. My dad bought it for me. He started my bag addiction lol
Coach quality, especially at the boutique level is top notch. A lot of the current designs rival legacy luxury brands for a fraction of the cost. Lastly, from my experience I have enjoyed the customer service I get at the boutique even if I don’t end up buying anything.
Coach is great quality. Love the Coach Swinger bag. A classic. The shopping experience I get at my Coach store (Not outlet) is enough for me to consider it luxury. I normally get offered water while I browse.
I love the swinger bag I own two one in the wine color with chain and a chalk white swinger it’s my all time favorite bag from coach and indeed a classic 🥰🥰
@@cherisebanks3337 Yes! It’s such a nice, minimal design and I love the way it locks! I have the chalk color too! 🤩
I just bought a swinger they are so great
@@katemiller7874 congrats I hope you love it 🥰
Coach is luxury
Now that I know the Luxury Brands are manufacturing $57 dollar bags and up selling them for thousands of dollars. Coach/Marc Jacobs/Dooney and Bourke/ Kate Spade is ALL I’m buying.
It all seems to be a mess at the moment.
If someone is not paying my bills… they simply can’t tell me what cringe is.🤣🤣
Coach is that girl! 🩷👛
I can only afford Vera Bradley bags. People are complaining that Vera has switched to recycled cotton.I can't tell the difference. I still love their bags.
Watch out for recycled polyester and recycled products in general I have a very sneaky suspicion it’s cancer causing
@@roseg1333 Good to know. It must be something in the chemical process.
@@roseg1333 I heard regular polyester causes infertility from a biology guy once.
I love Coach. Especially the newer items ❤🎉
@13:36 Coach is definitely higher quality than Michael Kors…
I usually wait for the Coach sale… but when I notice certain bags doesn’t go on sale I do buy it full price..
As a guy, I owned a Coach leather wallet for nearly seven years. And I used/wore? it every day. It was a great billfold 👍
I do try to buy only on sale but about 30% of them I have paid full price for FOMO. Some items truly are limited edition but most are not.
Luxury fashion should be called OVERPRICED FASHION
Coach is not luxury and that is a good thing
Coach is sold on Harrods under designer handbags. its luxury they aren’t selling junk on that website
there is 110 designer brands on the harrods website if you scroll through they are all high quality brands
Coach is luxury. Their bags last decades, and have far higher quality than Chanel, etc.
@@cecilyerkergood point
TRUE luxury is universal. Coach appeals mostly to Americans. So no, it's not a luxury. It's a mid range contemporary brand like MK, Kate Spade etc.
The quality for Coach bags are really amazing. Although I never considered it a luxury brand, there are certain styles that are appealing to my eyes. I would consider buying more Coach bags in the future whether luxury or not.❤
The presentation when you order them online is there as well. They make it feel special and wonderful.
Coach been around since 1941, but because its not from France or England then everyone put them down. I've always loved Coach leather since childhood. Yes its made in China like Tory Burch or most US Handbag Brands, I don't think we can change that but its fun, colors are fun and they have prices that fit most people budget. I love the Ruby. Coach Outlet is different than Coach Retail. I try to only buy from the Retail because the Outlet is different material. Many of the full grain good bags takes a long time to go down.
Dacob saw your recent insta your out from surgery already❤️ praying for your quick recovery babe🙏🏼 Its always great seeing new videos from you godbless always🙏🏼
Coach is luxury--American style (NY vibe♥)! Who cares about a 12K bag! That's cheesy! Not interested!
Love my Coach bags❣️ and I have many of them! The quality of the leather is só good, and I love the colors and the designs 🥰
Love vintage coach and that the brand is releasing bags with a nod to their roots like the rambler or Kip turnlock. It’s def not cringe and the service I receive is more “luxurious” than Chanel or Hermes.
Agreed. Just bought a reissue glove tanned leather bag. Beautiful.
I have several Coach bags a Brand I love! Respectfully I do not call it Luxury, I buy Coach because of great quailty. I notice a lot of YT peeps buying Coach because it's a trend. I do not buy for trends or to keep up with anyone. I do not own any Michael Kors I just never cared for the bags. I own many Coach Vintage bags and the leather is exceptional.
You just got me looking on the Coach website 🤣 haven't been there in ages!
I have 3 coach bags from the late 70s they are amazing. Still, use them. Amazing craftsmanship.
coach under Stuart Vevers I adore.
I looked at the quilted Tabby 26 bag. It’s a reasonably sized bag on the larger side but the internal capacity is equivalent to a micro bag because of the way it’s designed internally.
Coach is a quality bag. Particularly vintage Coach. No drama, no worries. 💗🌺👜
I have been loving coach lately but the retail coach I do not care for the outlet but the retail bags in my opinion are top tier quality especially the leather bags in genuine glovetanned leather I don’t really care for their canvas either but the quality I feel you get a lot for the price than other luxury brands such as multiple strap options, a full leather bag without the price being ridiculous but coach brings fun and excitement to bags again and is overall a great deal ❤❤❤
I bought several of the Coach denim full price because I want brand new items. I do not buy that much Coach to worry about price. When an item goes on sale it is more likely to be shop-worn or a return. To me it is worth full price to get a pristine item still in the factory wrapping.
Vintage coach, like the Willis bag, those coach bags were solid and well made. My mom used to wear them, and the leather felt thick and sturdy. Today’s bags are better than what they were 8 years ago or so, leather wise and style wise. But I will never pay full price for Coach these days, having paid full price in the past, I think it makes more sense to wait because most likely it will be on sale at some point. A big fan of the Cassie 19 and the Soft Tabby Shoulder bag.
I had a Willis bag in the 90’s A couple of years ago I hunted down a vintage Willis that was beat up. I took it to my leather guy and it looks amazing. The quality is unmatched
I have been faithful to Coach . I love there retail bags and I still have bags I purchased back in the 80’s. The outlet bags are cute but I will always purchase Coach retail . I have tons of luxury brand bags but Coach is a true classic quality staple
I love Coach 1948! Their leather is insanely durable and I still have a limited edition bag from 10+ years ago. When I was a kid I used to browse Macys and told myself I was going to afford one. I still have a few Coach bags, but I can’t believe people still do not consider them luxury
I had/have Chanel, LV, Celine, etc but my favorite is Coach especially after 2020. I couldn't care less if something is "luxury" or not. Coach is a great brand, I don't have to babysit and handle it with gloves on.
Paid full price at the couch store (not outlet) for a Mickey Mouse bucket hat. Sold out in minutes and the bucket hat was never shipped to the outlet. The callab collections are amazing and lucrative.
Mid-range, decent quality for the price. I have several Coach bags and enjoy them a lot. I’m not a fan of the classic canvas but their leather is nice. I’d definitely rank them above MK. I can use the heck out of them and they hold up.
I love them.. I have a few you need to stick for the classic clean leather then you feel the luxury and it’s timeless
if you go for seasonal you can feel the less quality Leather and the look can be tacky with some ( but some are cute and cheaper 🤪)
There's a difference between Coach Outlet and Coach . I either go to the boutique or Coach online (Coach Outlet is also online, so there's a difference). Coach has excellent quality and the price is right. Coach also has sales and some of the less popular styles go to the Coach Outlet after a while, but Coach has good quality and you won't get mugged for it.
Coach is also a great brand to go under the radar if you can afford true luxury brands. Great way to avoid the lowered quality of LV and Chanel plus huge price increases.
So true. I don't have to project plan my outings with Coach bags . With expensive bags you have to consider everything. Takes the joy away from owning the bag.
I love Coach. The quality is great and classic styles mixed with modern.
I have used my medium sized Chanel flap bag 3 times and I bought it 2 years ago. I am scared to use it for fear of it being stolen or damaged! Never again
Years ago my ex-colleague’s sister worked in Coach logistics department. She told me that Coach moved its entire production line to Vietnam. Hence, whether it is a luxury brand or not is very subjective, but one thing I am sure is that their bags’ production costs are very low compared to other luxury brands.
I believe you, I don’t think coach price matches the quality it feels cheap to me.
You're right, and knowing how dirt cheap it really is to produce these bags in China and Vietnam (no environmental/labor regulations, etc.) their "affordable" price is actually very overpriced for what you get.
Isn't current artistic director at Coach is the guy who used to be the artistic director at Loewe?
Yes he worked at both Loewe and Louis Vuitton.
No doubt coach is a contemporary brand but their leathers are very good.
When you mentioned how real lovers don't buiy for the logo - I get that so much. My first bag was back in 2003 and has lasted till now, in amazing shape, and while Burberry check is impossible to miss mine is in pink so doesn't stand out as much as most don't think pink check. But my other bag is a givenchy and that had such a small logo on it that I love it. Perfumes I will, and have, spent on but those are all for me because I like to smell nice for myself. So I don't mind dropping some money on them.
Just went to Ig to follow you. And omg. Hope all is well. Speedy recovery ❤. I love coach as my practical bag. And to try trends I’m not sure about. ❤
Compare the Coach leather heart bag to the Chanel heart bag. You will be blown away that Coach has the better bag. It's crazy how they have to still prove themselves.
I recently bought a Coach Field Tote imo it’s comparable to certain LV canvas with leather trim bags.
I’m loving my Coach Quilted Tabby 26 in black leather with brass hardware. It’s a double flap bag and just gorgeous quality for $550. I get compliments almost every time I wear it. I prefer the Coach Retail over Coach Outlet, but there’s a lot of bang for the buck at both stores.
I bought the coach Selena Grace bag in red brand spanking new and I still cherish it to this day. It was after I hit a huge milestone at work. I saw the bag before I ever even knew it was Selena’s. That was just a huge bonus.
I got my first coach bag at ten years old I'm not almost 57 years old. I have 80s 90s and 2000 bags . Skip to last two years I went and purchased maybe 40 vintage bags. Recently I just got 10 bags allot from Neiman Marcus and saks for less than 200 for 5 to 700 bags. I got the Chanel dupes two of them today for 1k. I then walked into Macys backstage section got a 4k Valentino for 1000. My boss and mentor died of pancreatic cancer recently I know he us in heaven saying not another bag.❤❤❤
I'm now 57
I'm a hoarder I own almost 200 bags. I also have a pantry full of perfume❤
@@traceyreneerivera-fernande6876 If you ever feel the need to sell.... 😂
Not every Coach bag goes on sale. Coach makes great quality leather bags much better than Michael Kors. I read through most of the comments and most of them agree. I own Chanel, Fendi, Dior, LV, etc. and still love my Coach bags. Another thing, they are never boring. Most big luxury buyers are surprised when they first check out Coach. Most people who buy Coach have always bought Coach instead of those big luxury brands. Nothing new there.
I think a lot of
People don’t know the difference between an outlet bag and a retail bag. You will almost always pay full price at coach retail, unless there a semi annual sale. They person says “Michael kors category” has never stepped foot in a retail store and only has shopped outlet. They make specific bags for the outlet and more high quality at retail. I have so many brands in my collection from LV to coach and I will say the fact that coach is the only brand that people are debating on says a lot about the quality of the brand. People are confused about how you can pay only $500 for a bag that is not falling apart like a Chanel bag is lol. The fashion house is a classic and you will always see people carry thier bags.
I love the Rogue in the soft pebbled leather it is gorgeous! I also, love the new quilted tabby, the leather and craftsmanship is stunning. I also have the traditional “luxury” brands and am here to say Coach is definitely showing up and giving back to this community.
I bought Coach in the 80's, when I was right out of school. I always thought that they were "starter bags" but I haven't been in coach store in a long time. I guess I'm missing out. NanZ
Even though I do not own any Coach items, I respect them greatly for delivering good quality for a price that is accessible 💖✨
Unlike some other brands that charge 8k for subpar quality bags 💀
Coach is making a come back! I bought the soft tabby in CC denim, and it is super cute! I love the quality, they always arrive in factory packaging and the leather on the pillow quilted bags are so buttery. Love the quality vs price.
I love Coach! The quality is fantastic. I only shop the retail boutique. Not the outlet. I feel like I’m getting away with something at their prices. Lol PS I love Winnie B. Glad yall are friends. Of course!!! Cuz you’re both dope AF! I think you would love the coach Rogue in all leather cuz it doesn’t have any logo except on a tiny hang tag. I have paid full price for coach bags that never seem to go on sale. Lol
If Coach remained a “ Made in America” brand their prices would have to skyrocket because the labor isn’t cheap here or Europe at all
Hi Dacob! 🙏🏻❤️ *hv a speedy recovery*
Discovered the brand a few years ago on TH-cam when l was looking for the pochette Metis reviews and got caught on the glassing drama. Bought myself a Coach Cassie 25 instead as a look alike. Loved the bag so much l bought a few more Cassie 19. Than the Tabby Pillow and now the black denim 20 quilted Tabby.
Never have l ever had to return a Coach do to quality issues and that says a lot.
To bad they don't have a reputation here, in Italy at least, because they only have stores in outlets and very often they're seen as outlet quality.
Dacob!! This video made me bust out one of my vintage coach bags to carry this week!!! Thank you ❤
I adore my Coach shearling Tabby in the mini. Quality is exceptional and I didn’t want to spend a fortune on a Couture version… mines a deep burgundy and just gorgeous ❤
Coach is awesome, timeless and has a great history. I love all my Coach bags right along with the designer bags I own. Coach is smart because they have something for everyone. The designs range from classic & conservative to trendy, fun and youthful. The pricing is affordable, whether you can buy it full price or wait for a sale. The quality is amazing, way better than Michael Kors, and in some cases out performs what these luxury brands are putting out now.... They're simply winning all around.
I’ve had coach bags for years. I’ve found the quality to be great. I do have say it doesn’t fulfill me as much when I buy one, but I am really liking some of their more recent styles.
Micheal Kors may be in TJ Max but Coach is always available at Ross and Marshall’s. Between that and the outlets, I would never pay full price for Coach, I’ll just wait a week and it will be 70% off..
I quite recently bought my first Coach's: bags (backpack, cabas, crossbody and PC bag), wallets ( 2 red ones and one small eazy in the pocket in brown), pouches (one brown and a dark blue matching with the cabas). Experienced with Louis, Lancel, Longchamp, Tumi, Delvaux for three decades. I'm not a newbie with leather goods.
I can say that Coach is very good ratio quality affordability IMO. For most of the bag addicts among the working class we can buy on a regular basis for our use and own pleasure. No need to sell a kidney and a bone.
The same cream as my leather sofas and they are perfect.
I will consider Coach luxury if I need and they will provide a fixing, new zipper, new strap.... Wait and see.
FYI: outlet purchases for now, no shop in Belgium... May be next time in Paris, at least in BHV...
Yes coach is LUXURY!!! It is actually QUIET LUXURY. Some bags are upwards of 800 dollars! Coach leather, well at least vintage leather is of better quality than LV CHANEL YSL and even yes Hermes!!! I have to admit that new coach leather is not as good as it used to be: but my 90s coach leather I feel looks and feels better than my Hermes from the early 2000s !! I own both and I can emphatically say this !!! No Hermes bag can hold a candle to my Coach Miranda leather bag from 2008!!!
My favorite bag is the Coach Rogue and as in paying for full price I have a basquiat rogue 39 that is now worth twice as much than what I paid. Coach does limit their status with the outlet stuff though. But the quality is impeccable on my rogues. Some of my coach is worth more than some of my LV and gucci
Imho coach is a luxury fashion house. To be classified as a luxury brand seems there is no hard rule so it depends on what a person is looking for but coach has heritage pieces and too notch quality and customer service however I put them in a mid tier of luxury brands because there are business aspect of other fashion brands that coach does not have. Some people only refers to certain brands as luxury and does not even know the proper definition of 'luxury'.
