jasyjen says "Coach handbags make great gifts." about Coach Handbags

jasyjen — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 16:37:35 GMT

Coach purses are so stylish, and always in fashion! I don't know a single woman that wouldn't be thrilled to receive a Coach purse as a gift. You can tell that they are well made just by the way they smell. The scent of leather is terrific when you unzip your bag!

One thing you'll need to know going in to purchase a Coach purse, is that they aren't cheap. You can expect to spend quite a bit of money. Of course, you can purchase a smaller bag for less money than a larger bag. Coach bags come in all sizes! A tote bag can cost you $ 500.00 or more. (I know... OUCH!) But you can pick up a clutch for about $ 150.00. Also, there are so many different Collections of bags, the older collections wont cost as much either. So you can always look at the older style bags and still be giving (or receiving) a fantastic looking, well made, handbag.

The Collections of bags that Coach offers vary widely. They make beautiful patchwork bags, large Ergo bags, traditional printed totes, Signature...

wh0b0x says "Chic and eco-awesome!" about Ecoist Recycled Candy Wrapper Purse

wh0b0x — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 21:33:36 GMT

I recently bought this Recycled Candy Wrapper clutch purse for a trendy cousin-in-law of mine. It's a Christmas present, so I have yet to get it to her. However, I'm quite excited about it.

After ripping open the packaging I admired the smooth texture of the sturdy candy wrappers. I was worried they may just be fragile paper wrappers, but trust me, they're quite durable. Also, it has amazing colors - quite eye-catching.

The strap is removable to be used as a clutch or wrist-purse.

The size is perfect to hold credit cards, extra cash, a cell phone and some gum. You could even throw in some chapstick/lip gloss if you'd like. Perfect for going out on the town!

I showed my impossible-to-impress boyfriend and he was like, "whoa, this is so cool!"

PLUS! It comes with a card saying that a tree has been planted thanks to my purchse.

Eco-Friendly? Absolutely!

Kanani17 says "Don't waste your money on the Buxton organizer purse" about Buxton Over The Shoulder Sling Organizer Bag

Kanani17 — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 18:44:51 GMT

I was really excited to get the Buxton organizer as I thought it would be the ideal purse for me. I even upgraded the leather. When I unwrapped it, I tried to ignore the strong smell of petroleum-based chemicals. It did fit all my stuff, but the first thing I noticed was the pocket that they showed the water bottles going into was too gaping. It had two zippers on the sides to tighten up things, but it still gaped on the sides when the flap was shut. I dropped several items out of the compartment. If you stuff that compartment full enough so it doesn't gap, then the flap is hard to fasten over it.

Speaking of fastening, the magnets are not strong enough to hold the bag closed. That was SO annoying. The flap would open up, the compartment would gape open and my stuff would fall out.

Also, the mesh on the inside of the flap got tangled up with the top part of the zippers on the sides. This effectively sealed the purse shut. The only way to disentangle it caused the...

vivasuzi says "You CAN carry a laptop and still be fashionable!" about Merona Sinclair Work Tote Bag - Black

vivasuzi — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 00:48:27 GMT

For a year or so, I had been using a "laptop bag" that wasn't really meant for laptops. I decided it was about time for an upgrade so my husband and I went to Best Buy looking for a bag. I wanted something stylish, but the "stylish" bags at Best Buy were not only tacky, but they also were like $80! Not worth it for a bag!

So it was off to the reliable Target store for a bag, I knew they had to have one. It only took me 10 minutes to find and pick out this Merona Sinclair Work Tote Bag. It seemed perfect, and so far I couldn't be happier. The Merona bag is stylish, no doubt, as many people have already told me they like my new bag. However stylish it may be, it also has great function as well.

Inside one side it has a pocket with a velcro strap - perfect fit for my laptop. Don't get me wrong, this bag will not protect your laptop super because it doesn't have a lot of padding, however it will keep your laptop dry in the rain AND makes it easy to care.

Your laptop will stay...

sadus says "I cant believe this" about Coach Canvas Wristlet

sadus — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 02:44:44 GMT

2008

I have purchased a Large Carly by Coach and must say I am quite disappointed given the nearly 400.00 price tag. The bag began to fray at various fold points on the bag. I returned it only to have the second one doing the same thing.

AGHHH!...

mysticstarfish says "This Dooney Makes Me Looney!" about Dooney & Burke Patched Plaid Medium Duffle Bag

mysticstarfish — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 04:07:28 GMT

The Dooney & Bourke Patched Plaid Medium Duffle Bag is a true Dooney classic. It is a patchwork plaid pattern full of great colors for the fall and winter season. The trim is a chocolate leather. This pattern is available in all Dooney styles, Barrel, Slouch, East West, Wristlet, etc.

This bag is 100% cotton with a poly-vinyl coating making it durable and easy to clean.

Like all Dooney bags, the inside is heavily lined and has great accessory pockets. The medium duffle is actually quite large and can even fit my planner, wallet, checkbook, makeup bag and all my other little odds and ends, with plenty of room to spare.

I purchased this bag last spring knowing it would be great for the fall. I have waited patiently to use it and now that I am, I really love it. It goes great with anything.

Dooney & Bourke produces strong, durable, good looking handbags; well worth the price paid.

Unfortunately, Dooney has recently discontinued this pattern. Dooney discontinues patterns very quickly. ...

pinkbeachflamingo says "NOT WORTH THE PRICE" about Vera Bradley Handbags

pinkbeachflamingo — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 00:26:21 GMT

VERA BRADLEY HAS ALOT OF REALLY CUTE PATTERNS HOWEVER THEY FADE REALLY BAD REALLY FAST EVEN WHEN NOT BEING IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT. I HAVE SEVERAL PIECES FROM HANDBAGS TO THE BEACH TOTES AND DUFFEL BAG. I DO NOT PLAN ON BUYING ANYMORE OF THIS LINE.SO IF YOUR BUYING ONE TO USE AS AN OCCASIONAL BAG I THINK IT WOULD BE FINE BUT NOT AS AN EVERYDAY BAG. IT JUST WILL NOT HOLD UP.....

mishy119 says "not a heavy duty bag" about Buxton Over The Shoulder Sling Organizer Bag

mishy119 — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 18:00:37 GMT

Bought my buxton over the shoulder bag from Home Shopping Club this summer. I started to use it in August - Well lets see. It black - the area for the cell phone, great location, but now the velcro has ripped off. Do not put alot into the flap that folds over - its too bulky and will not close right. Water bottle - never worked for me. The inside folds are nice - but made out of mesh so you can see through them, but then other things get caught up in them and rip them. The zippers on the side constantly unzip themselves. The strap constantly moves itself.

The over the shoulder feature is hands free, and is great if you are not going to use it everyday and alot. My black leather all ready looks worn. I can not return it to HSC as its over 30 days and can not return it to its original manufaturer. I guess that is what you get for 20.00. Great for vacation bag, but not for heavy duty everyday toting.

sandralee says "It didn't hold up!!!! " about Dooney & Bourke It Bag

sandralee — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 00:38:24 GMT

I thought I was purchasing a quality item when I bought the IT handbag at the Dooney and Bourke store in Dallas.... Wrong!!! I purchased the white bag, and it turned yellowish after a year of use. It was yellow under the coating, and I could not get to it to clean it. I was disappointed for how much money I paid for it. I purchased a Furla purse and like it much better....

Jo says "Francesco Biasia, Will you marry me? " about Francesco Biasia East Emma A71300

Jo — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:33:37 GMT

To the Point

I was looking for a black bag with a handle I could put across my shoulder. I found Francesco Biasia East Emma A71301 for $129.99 at TJ Maxx. The original price was $230.00. I looked around and found several on eBay in the $170.00 range. I love my East Emma bag. (http://cgi.ebay.com/FRANCESCO-BIASIA-EAST-WEST-EMMA-BLACK-HANDBAG-PURSE_W0QQitemZ300260813450 at eBay)

A Closer View

Truly I had no idea who Francesco Biasia was. I just liked this Italian made leather bag. It's large measuring about 9 inches high by 15 inches across by 5 inches deep.

My pictures may be able to show the type of leather it is. It borders on patent leather but it isn't. It is glazed leather. I love the look. It's soft and although large even with all my stuff in it when I wear it across my shoulder it isn't heavy.

My Francesco Biasia East Emma bag is loaded with pockets. The flap that goes over the bag with Francesco Biasia written on it closes via a magnet. The two side pockets are large and also close...

jeh3v says "Coach Carly" about Coach coach

jeh3v — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 17:02:25 GMT

The Coach carly has fraying issues and many people have had to take them back to the store because of this. But Coach always gives a merch credit so you are not out the money if you get a Carly and it frays. You can take the merch credit and but it towards another bag, so all is not lost. This is one of the main problems with Coach that is encountered by many people....

LUCKYSTARR says "Perfect for anyone on the go " about Coach Heritage Stripe

LUCKYSTARR — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 13:30:37 GMT

As always Coach never lets me down. I am a proud owner of many Coach handbags and accessories. And this new collection is one of the best. Easy to clean and maintain. Spill some thing on your purse no problem. This new coating is amazing! I would recommend this purse to anyone who has a few to many "Oops" in there life. I also recomend this bag to anyone who likes a lot of space....

southernbelle2951 says "CHEAP QUALITY! Didn't even last ONE MONTH!!!" about Buxton Over The Shoulder Sling Organizer Bag

southernbelle2951 — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 18:59:18 GMT

Buxton Over The Shoulder Sling Organizer Bag

This was the worst thing I have ever purchased from an infomercial.

It may be genuine leather, but it's so thin that it split in 2 places in less than a week.

The handle is cheap (NOT leather) and the zippers are poorly made. One of the zipper pulls came completely off in my hand in less than 2 weeks.

I haven't even had the purse a month, and I've already thrown it away.
It is literally a piece of junk!

Save your money!! Don't buy it. My hubby bought it as a surprise for me. Turns out HE was the one most surprised. He was disgusted with the poor quality.

My Razr phone fell right out of the phone holder on the first day. It is not secure.

jazzyjess says "Its a one of a kind piece!!!" about Maddie Powers Purses

jazzyjess — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 18:21:27 GMT

Maddie Powers Purses are so awesome!!! I love that they are all one of a kind pieces. They give off a vintage fair, which is a must in fashion. And there's always somebody saying "Where did you get that purse?!". Every girl wants a purse that everyone wants and this is definitely one brand people want....

suzaroon says "Fun, Festive Bags in a variety of shapes and sizes" about Vera Bradley Handbags

suzaroon — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 03:55:46 GMT

I now have three Vera Bradley bags---one small blue, one medium brown/pink, and one medium black. I love them all and love how versital they each are! I was originally apprehensive about buying one of these bags because the prints APPEARED to be so limiting as to what I could wear with them, but I have no problem matching them with my clothes ---I rarely have to switch to another purse to match an outfit on a normal day. Expensive, but think about your cost per usage! :)

larry4ever says "Do not buy this bag, you will regret it, totally bogus! BEWARE!" about Buxton Over The Shoulder Sling Organizer Bag

larry4ever — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 13:34:31 GMT

I bought a Buxton Organizer Bag and thought it would solve all my problems. I always have a big purse and can't find anything in it. This was MY product, MY savior! WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!!! First of all, I had a medium size purse and could not fit half of all my stuff in the Buxton. The flap wouldn't close. After 1 day, the netting inside began to undo... After 2 days, the shoulder strap just broke off... After 1 week, the lining began falling apart... I kept it a total of 2 weeks before it became totally useless (things were falling out) and then just threw it in the trash. If this purse was bigger and built much stronger, it would be a sensational product - I would pay extra for this. The cell phone holder was very useful however....

mhurst826 says "Lifetime Coach Girl!" about Coach Handbags

mhurst826 — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 05:57:38 GMT

I used to be trendy, then I had a baby. Now I am a jeans and t-shirt kinda girl, and I use fantastic looking purses to dress things up. I have owned many bags, from the uber trendy multi-color LV to a rabbit fur M. Kors. Now I keep it to Coach. I am very picky about my bags, they must be well made, good looking, and go well with a variety of things. Coach always fits the bill. My 1st mothers day present was a Coach Carly patchwork purse, that I simply adore! It works well with so many outfits, not to mention my diaper bag! I also have a very classic black leather purse, that is the little black dress of the purse world! I would say I own about 7-10 bags, and I have been pleased with every one! Yes, some designs are meant to say "LOOK AT ME I HAVE A COACH PURSE" but I don't normally go for those...

On a side note- I really don't think Coach purses are very expensive, and certainly not something that should be faked....the price doesn't warrant being faked. I would NEVER carry any fake...
