The Coach Signature Stripe collection has been around for quite sometime now, but now there is a new color in collection. The new color in the collection is a mix of Brass, Khaki, and Pink and it’s actually quite pretty! The blend of the three colors together compliments the satchel very well I must say!

I have always been drawn to the Coach Signature Stripe Satchel because it kind of reminds me of a Louis Vuitton Speedy 30. They both have that same shape and style but of course the Coach satchel is much more affordable than the fabulous Louis Vuitton Speedy.

The Coach Signature Stripe Satchel has the measurements of 12 (L) x 7 3/4 (H) which is very close to the measurements of the Louis Vuitton Speedy 30. Being that the measurements are so close to the Speedy, we can concur that this handbag has plenty of room for all of your stylish essentials and more! Other amazing features of the handbag include: two exterior pockets; zip top closure; coated signature print fabric with leather trim; fabric lining; and 18″ straps.

The Coach Signature Stripe Satchel can be purchased at Nordstrom for $298, which is a great buy for a handbag that is so spacious not to mention pretty.

What type of luggage do you Bagista’s carry? Unfortunately, the most attractive feature found on my carry-on is the fact that it comes in my favorite color of black. I’ve always wanted to give into designer luggage, but I’m not your typical traveler, with that said, spending big bucks on an everyday handbag seems much more reasonable for me. The All-American brand Coach introduces a new good featured within their new Penelope line; meet the OP Art Suitcase. I don’t recall Coach doing suitcases in the past, briefcases for men, yes, but not luggage. So here’s something really new to Coach; OP art canvas lines the exterior of the case as black leather trim decors it as well. Some of my favorite details includes a lock closure consisting of a numerical combination and the bold hot pink interior which adds that perfect finishing touch to this travel piece. Luggage prices can run pretty high and this Coach leaves no exceptions. You can find the medium version for $1,200 or for $300 more, you can get the largest case which measures in at 27’’ x 18” x 8.5”! Ladies, what’s your input toward Coach’s new Suitcase, Do you like this?

Cobalt. As mentioned by fellow blogger brs, it’s the blue to go for this spring as it seems like every brand right now is flaunting their version. For the past couple of seasons or so, something really different is going on over at Coach Headquarters… and I love it! Their changes are great and they can clearly be seen among their collections. One of the brands latest is the Penelope line. With its surprising colors and new silhouettes; Coach is really brings “new” to the table. I’ll admit that I’ve been cautious of some of Coach’s logoed stuff, but I never feared their leather goods, and the Penelope Leather Shopper leaves no exceptions. Who knew pebbled and patent leather could look so good together? Coach seemed to pull it off as the combination is pleasant rather than busy. My favorites things about this shopper: the choice of hues, the minimal silver hardware, and the pretty feminine ruffles found decoring its upper body. If only this shopper lost the handle studs and the leaf-shaped zipper pull, then I would adore this piece even more! Measuring in at 13” x 8” x 4” you can find this newbie carrying a very reasonable price tag of $348.

I have always loved the Louis Vuitton Galliera, and it looks as if Coach has made their own version of the Galliera. I bring to you the Coach Zoe, and it reminds me of a more affordable version of the Galliera. The Zoe isn’t as pretty as the Galliera but it sure does come in plenty of colors. With the amount of colors this handbag comes in, you are bound to find at least one color of the handbag that you find appealing. To be exact, over at Nordstrom.com, the handbag currently is available for purchase in seven different colors. My favorite color is the orchid but each color is fabulous in its own way. Some features of the handbag is that is has a zip top closure, interior pockets for your different necessities, very spacious, and most importantly it’s stylish. If my heart wasn’t set on the Louis Vuitton Azur Galliera PM, I would probably opt for the Coach Zoe in one of it’s many colors.

The Coach Zoe is currently available for purchase at Nordstrom.com and is priced at $348, which I don’t think is that bad or high of a price. Coach has been pretty outrageous with their prices lately and I must say this isn’t that high of a price for them right now. Cute bag and definitely worth the price, if I could only get passed the whole Galliera comparison I would probably love it even more.

Coach Madison Girl Tote
What’s this? Somehow I’m getting the feeling that “we are living in a material world” all over again. Introducing the Coach Madison Girl Tote. Just when I thought Coach was doing better their their designs, they had to throw an oddball like this into the mix. Is it just me, or does this nylon tote just scream Madonna? I realize that there is this whole 80s retro thing going on right now. It seems like there are kids everywhere wearing their skinny jeans, rocker tees, and trucker hats. Oh well, I suppose not everything from the 80s should be considered evil. After all, I grew up in the 80s. But I just don’t think Coach is cut out for the whole 80s retro thing. When I look at this bag, I find myself more horrified than anything. Sorry Coach! I just think you need to stick with your ultra gorgeous Resort 2009 designs. They are so much prettier and elegant looking. How does everyone feel?

The Coach Madison Girl Tote measures 14″ x 13″ x 9″ and has a 8.5″ strap drop. It is available in Pink/Purple with crinkled black leather trim.

Introducing the Coach Resort 2009 Handbag Collection
Way back when my love for handbags was in its infancy, I absolutely adored Coach Bags. But as time passed, their novelty began to wear off. I mean, what fun was there in owning a Coach bag if everyone and their sister had one as well? Plus my tastes had begun to grow more and more extravagant. They had simply lost their appeal. But lately, I have found myself taking a second look at Coach. And for good reason! Not only are their new styles fresh and exciting, they are absolutely gorgeous as well. These bags are probably some of the most beautiful bags I have seen from Coach in a very long time. If you don’t believe me, then head on over to Coach’s official website and check them out for yourself. I guarantee that you will be pleasantly surprised.

But with so many great new bags from Coach to choose from, you are probably wondering if they could ever possibly top themselves. Well, guess what! I think they just may have! Introducing the new Coach Resort 2009 Collection, which is due out next month. Soft leathers, pretty shades of pink, and illuminating metallics, this collection has it all. Beware of sensory overload, these bags will definitely delight and dazzle. But what I find most appealing about the collection is all the new shapes that is has introduced. Their silhouettes are so simple, rounded, and unstructured. They just look so soft. Suppressing the urge to squeeze them may prove difficult. These are definitely not your typical Coach bags. Here’s a sneak peak of what’s to come:

Resort Leather Shoulder Tote in punch (left) – $598
Resort Shoulder Bag in blush (middle) – $448
Graphic Op Art Shoulder Tote in multi (right) – $798

Resort Python Shoulder Tote in silver – $2200

Parker Karung Shoulder Flap (left) – Available in March
Resort Python Clutch in silver (right) – $1100

Also check out Coach’s new online charity called Coach Cares!

A group of ten celebrities (including Halle Berry, Jessica Alba, Ryan Reynolds, Mandy Moore, and Eva Longoria) have chosen their favorite Coach styles. During this coming holiday season, the proceeds from of each of these bags sold online will be donated to the celebrity’s charity of choice. What a fun way to brighten up the holidays!

Coach Julianne Purse
Coach has been making some pretty bags lately but not only are they still made in China, they have also increased the prices in their handbags quite a bit. One of the handbags I like but have different feelings about is the Julianne. I think the Julianne is a very beautiful handbag but it looks like Coach got their inspiration from fellow rival Louis Vuitton. I’m sure everyone can agree with me that the Julianne resembles the Louis Vuitton Palermo in many ways. The shape, style, and even the strap of the bag says Palermo all over it. One thing the Julianne has beat over the Palermo is the variety of colors it comes in. My personal favorite color is the Magenta, but the Julianne also comes in Black, Expresso, and Teal. Being that the Julianne has a length of 15 inches and a height of 11 inches, it is very spacious and has plenty of room to store all of your essentials.

The Coach Julianne retails for $458, which makes you miss the old Coach days of reasonable prices. The Julianne is a great handbag for this fall, but is a bag that is made in China really worth the $458 price tag? That’s for you to decide, but one thing is for sure, that even if the Coach Julianne looks like the Louis Vuitton Palermo, it still is absolutely stunning.
