As mentioned previously, Coach has been increasing their prices to compete with higher end designers like Louis vuitton, for example. And it seems like they are trying to make their accessories more exclusive. I mean, there are plenty of Coach goods that appeal to me and I own a few bags by them. But honestly, $1,500 for an Ostrich Wallet with the Coach label on it is a joke, in my opinion. And aren’t their products made over in China?
The new Ostrich Accordion Zip Around Wallet by Coach comes in light blue and tan, and I would pick the blue or “pool” if I were to purchase one (which would be never). The wallet is very functional, allowing one to carry many credit cards, money, papers, change, ect. But so what? To me, and besides the exotic skin, this Coach wallet is nothing spectacular and is just like any other wallet of theirs. Why would I spend $1500 on a wallet when I could buy a bag or two? I think Coach is taking their pricing a little too far. But hey, if you’re a fan of the wallet, there is also a matching handbag that retails for $4,800!

You are exactly right…all Coach products these days are made in China. Short of reading every label on every product, though, it is tough to find that out. I went about 5 rounds via e-mail with Coach customer service asking where their bags are manufactured, and all I got were very vague answers. Finally I got a very new, young sales associate to tell me. I guess they don’t want to admit it, especially since they are boosting their price-point to be in line with designer bags made in Italy and elsewhere. I used to be a loyal Coach shopper, but I’ve given them up for Longchamp and Ferragamo.
