Coach Handbags

So Coach is just as ready for me for the bitter winter to go away (yes, I know- it hasn’t even begun). The new Coach Resort line has let us in on a little sneak peek of some bubbly fun. The Coach Bubble Print Accessories and Tote add a little whimsical fun to the spring lines we are all waiting for. I know winter is just beginning, but I’m bitter cold already and just about ready to be splashing around in some fun and sun. Coach has given us a peak to the Resort line with a cute hat, wristlet, tote, and key chain. I really love the smaller accessories. I think the tote could look cute out at the beach, but it might be a bit much for me. The hat just seems so preppy and flirty, how could I resist? No word on pricing yet, but hopefully we will all hear a little more about this line sometime in the near future. Hope you all are bundled up and looking forward to all the Resort lines!

Ladies, I think it may be time we all admit that if we start buying accessories for accessories we really have a problem. I still remember my mom’s lipstick cases she had; black leather, structured, with a little mirror when you opened up the case. I actually whined and whined that I needed one also to hold my Barbie shoes. And because my persuasive skills began at such a young age, I won- I got that case! But it has to be a fact that us ladies can accessorize like it is no one job. Hence all my talk is about lipstick cases. You can argue that the case is able to protect your lipstick and make it easier to find, but you and I both know when you drop that case in your purse it will still be just as hard to find.

Leave it to Coach to coyly design a cute lipstick case that might also not even get lost. The Coach Optic Signature Lurex Lipstick Case is designed to look like a small wristlet. Because of the strap, my guess is that this lipstick case will be much easier not to lose. Featuring a cute frame closure and a tiny mirror inside, this accessory will help you get those lips ready to pucker up. After all, when you are on a hot date and need some gloss, no one wants to go purse diving looking for it . Measuring 2 1/8 (L) x 3 3/4 (H) and available in 3 colors; black, lilac, and tan, this could be the perfect gift for any accessorizing lady out there. Buy through Coach for $68.

After years of annoying me about learning to snowboard, a group of my best friends have talked me into buying gear and learning to board. Not that I don’t want to. But the thought of spending so much time on my bum in the freezing cold snow is not enticing at all. Sadly enough, the enticing part is the gear I get to buy- coat, pants, hat, goggles, gloves, board. Yay! Just one more area to spend money. I probably will care more to match all my gear than to actually learn the sport. I can see it now… I wake up and do my hair, put on all my matching gear, and go down to the lodge by the fire- look around- and decide I am the best damned dressed boarder of them all. Unfortunately, that will get me no where on the slopes.

So while I think ahead to my near future days of boarding, I started to think that I may need a cute bag to go along with my experience (yes, another excuse to buy a bag). When I imagine myself at a Ski Lodge this winter, I see myself carrying the new Coach Soho Large Ski Hobo. Although white is so hard to keep sparkling clean, I still would opt for the white hobo which is trimmed in light and soft rabbit fur. The rest of the bag is made from quilted Signature fabric and has a posh tab with magnetic snap and dogleash closure. Once you open up this beauty, you will find fabric lining, a zip pocket, and a multi-function pocket. Dimensions are 15 1/4″ for the strap and 14 1/4 (L) x 12 1/4 (H) overall. Don’t be fooled, this is quite the big bag. If you want to look posh on the slopes (rather in the lodge), buy this bag in black, brown, or white for $498 via Coach.

There is quite a bit of fuss on the forum about a certain Coach bag. The Coach Daphne Large Satchel is catching attention left and right. This doctor style satchel is beautiful if any of you ladies (or great boyfriends/husbands/etc) are looking for the perfect gift. This bag has some major perks that is drawing attention left and right. My pick is the beautiful brown leather version with bronze accents. Being one of the focal points of the bag, the two front pockets with turnlock closures are simply stunning. There is also an outside zip pocket and a nifty dogleash closure. The other part of the bag that is vying for attention is the handles- which are braided leather and are 21″. The braiding adds a little special touch to a classic brown bag look. On the inside, you will find fabric lining, both cellphone and multi function pockets, and an inside zip pocket. Final dimensions are 15 (L) x 8 1/2 (H) x 5 3/4 (W). If this is a perfect brown bag, make sure to grab it for $698 at Coach ASAP. And yes, prices at Coach have seemingly gone up recently.

Oh yes, it is here. I have always raved about Coach producing new lines constantly. As if handbags, coats, glasses, and watches were not enough- Coach is now proud to be producing baby goods. I, for one, am thoroughly excited. Not that I have a baby, or even plan on having one anytime soon- but because when I do have a baby, I plan on dressing it in ridiculously cute clothes and buying ridiculously cute accessories. Now, my mom has always told me how impractical it is to spend big bucks on baby clothing and shoes, because they grow out of them so fast. So I do plan on listening to my mom; I will not buy them the ridiculously cute designer gear. I will let her do it.

For starters, every new mommie needs an adorable baby bag. I’m going to opt for the corny yet always classic and cute pink if it’s a girl blue if it’s a boy combo. The Coach Optic Signature Baby Bag is actually stylish to be worn even if you are not toting new baby. If you are looking for pocket space, this bag features an inside zip pocket, five open pockets, a back snap pocket, and two side gusseted pockets. I’m gonna bet that with all those pockets and all the baby stuff you have to carry, you might be lovin’ the pocket to ‘baby stuff’ ratio. Along with the pocket party, this diaper bag contains the ever needed changing pad for the dirty clean ups. I love the simplicity of the bag but the fun touch of the optic signature jacquard fabric. The inside is lined in fabric. For you dimensions junkies, which come in handy, the straps are 21 1/4” while the overall bag is 15 1/2 (L) x 11 3/4 (H) x 5 1/2 (W). Turn your mommie changing woes into designer fun for $398 via Coach.

I always want to dress my baby in cute hats. I have to give props to my mommie because she always had all 4 of us dressed so cute. I am in love with the softness of the Coach Baby Pom Pom Hat. I’m actually wondering if I pulled, tugged, stretched, and wore it long enough just maybe it would fit my own head. This hat is made of cashmere and there is only one size available. Again, I wonder if it is one size fits all expandable type of hat. Probably not. This adorable little thing comes in light blue and pink also. For $98 through Coach any baby can be stylin’ and warm all at once. Now, if you have a hat, you have to get some matching mittens. What could be cuter than a baby with matching accessories? Umm… I venture to say just about nothing (oh, maybe that English Bulldog puppy I want soo bad!!). The Coach Baby Mittens are so cute that I want to fly back into the past and ask my mom to get them for my little baby hands. Made of none other than the softest imported cashmere, these mittens can make any little finger feel warm and cuddly. If any of you are looking for baby shower gifts, don’t you dare leave out the mittens if you get the hat or vice versa! Just for an extra precaution, the mittens have an attached string to help you keep from losing one out of the pair. These little guys also come in light blue or pink and are on sale for $98 at Coach.

Now it is time for the itsy bitsy tiny 10 little toes. We are looking for cuteness and warmth for this season, and Coach sure has it. For starters there is the Coach Baby Booties. These booties are simple and cute- just the way I like them. Like the hat and mittens, these booties are made of cashmere and are offered in light blue and pink. Grab these baby treats for $98 via Coach. But if you want your baby to really stand out with some fashionable tootsies, you need to opt for the material of the season- shearling. Ah yes, shearling is even being used for little baby feet. The Coach Optic Signature Shearling Baby Slippers scream out ‘Stud in the making’ or definitely ‘Diva in the making’. These little slippers show off the Coach Optic Signature fabric pattern. There is even more. The leather strap has a stylish turnlock detail and the slipper gleams with its shearling trim. To finish this petite treat off is a suede outsole. Hey, if you are buying stylish shoes for yourself, why not do the same for your baby (this is where my mommie would come in handy JK). Buy these through Coach for $128.

And finally, what childhood isn’t complete without a teddy bear? I know I have had the same bear since I was about 3. My sister’s teddy bear has made it through so much in life it is ridiculous ‘Barf Bear’ is still alive (don’t ask about the name, that was so her choice). We had surgeries performed on our bears numerous times, and I don’t know where I would be today without ‘Bear-Bear’. The Coach Baby Bear is ultimately cute and topped off with a little Coach Signature fabric satin scarf bow around the neck. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you much about the bear itself or its dimensions (knowing our designer luck it is probably a beanie baby- I will have to look into it this weekend). Nevertheless this teddy bear is quite cute. Buy this pink or blue themed bear with its matching colored nose for $58 via Coach.

If you still haven’t found what you are looking for, try the Coach Baby Cashmere Blanket (for $198), the Coach Baby Bear Suede Picture Frame (available for $98), or the Coach Enamel Teddy Bear Keyfob ($48 through Coach).

Oh how I’d love to be a Coach Baby kid!!

You just had to do it, didn’t you Coach? You had to jump on the shearling bandwagon. Well, you are on it- might as well enjoy the ride. I’m going to have to hand it to Coach, because personally, I don’t think they did too bad of a job with this number. I actually really dig it. The Coach Shearling Gallery Tote makes me want to cuddle up next to the fire and sip on my Chai Tea Latte! Yum. Coach explains that “the detailing and design of this tote is reminiscent of bags that were popular among the ski set in the 1960’s and ‘70’s”. I wasn’t aware of that fact at the time, but I’m just going to believe it. This gallery tote is actually quite chic. The outside shows off two front and side pockets with turnlock closures. Made of lightweight leather with shearling trim, this tote can bring winter fashion to your arm. The bag can be opened with its zip top which unveils fabric lining, a cellphone pocket, and a ring to clip keys or what have you. You can choose between brass/blue or brass/tobacco (my pick is for sure the blue!!) Measuring up at 11 7/8 (L) x 8 7/8 (H) x 4 3/8 (W), Coach is asking $598 for this furry thing.

For those of you who are not aware, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. I am sure many of you know women or have personally been affected by Breast Cancer. I have not only had family members who have died from it, but dealt with my own huge scare just a year and a half ago. Luckily, I am fine, but from that day on I began to try to help support the cause. Whether it is donating money to research, taking part in triathlons, or just telling the woman next to me at the cancer center that she would be another courageous and beautiful fighter, I have tried to be a part of fighting for a cure.

Coach has joined the Fight Against Breast Cancer for the month of October by giving $100 in proceeds from each Positively Pink Watch toward the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The Coach Positively Pink Watch is not only cute but also will make your heart feel good since it is for a good cause. As if the specs really even matter, since all of us as women should be contributing to breast cancer research, but this watch is made beautifully with some of the most gorgeous details. The watch features Swiss quartz, mineral crystal, and a silver dial with Swarvoski crystal. The theme is pink, so the watch has a pink bezel, a pieced pink leather strap, and has an engraved ribbon logo on the back of the stainless steel case. If this isn’t enough, you can also count on the watch to be water resistant to 99 feet. On sale for $298 via Coach (remember $100 of those dollars goes to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation), this watch could not be for a better cause and could not adorn you in pink any better.

If you want to really go all out, or chose between one or the other, Coach also has Special Edition Multi-Jeweled Keyfob. If you have been looking for a cute little key ring, this one may be the winner- not to mention 50% of the proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. This pretty little key ring is decorated with a cluster of crystals set in silver Coach logos. To spread the hope, the enamel of the keyfob is in a pretty pink color. The keyring is nickel and measures 1 1/2”. If the watch was too much, there is no reason all of us can’t spread some hope and love by buying this keyfob- which is a mere $58 via Coach (remember half of the proceeds of this will go towards the Breast Cancer Research Foundation).

And you thought you didn’t see many celebs shopping at Coach… Well, Ashlee Simpson does (if she even counts as a celeb). It looks like Little Simpson did some major shopping at Coach- I wonder what goodies she has in the bag? What baffles me is that she is merely the sister of Jessica, her album was not huge (at least in my standards), and she just bought a 9,000 sq ft home on an acre of land in California’s San Fernando Valley. Whaa?? I’m about to go make Angelina adopt me, then I’ll start a singing career, then I’ll make sure to lip-sing on SNL (since I will have to since I can’t sing at all), and then I can be on my way to a small mansion in Cali. Any of you with me?

On with our day of Tuesday Totes, I have found yet another brown tote. As much as I am a lover of totes, all of the browns for fall are making me feel very drab. But this Coach Suede Beaded Tote is at least easier on your wallet than many other bags out there. I love this tote because it adds a little bit of fun to an overall ’safe’ bag- and by safe I mean not daring with color or design (hey, why should it? It’s a brown suede tote!) The strips of bright bugle beads do not immediately stand out, but upon further inspection they give the bag quite a nice finishing touch. The rest of the bag is adorned in soft brown (actual color is called Flint) suede and is trimmed in metallic leather. The inside is lined in fabric and has inside zip pockets including a cellphone/multi-function pocket. Being a zip top closure is quite a perk for a tote, which makes it a little safer to carry around. The handles are an adjustable 17 1/2” and the bag measurements are 15 3/8 (L) x 10 1/2 (H) x 4 3/8 (W). This tote can be yours for $358 via Coach.

P.S. If you’d like to see this bag try to be daring, take a peek here! (I don’t like the color at all)

Peer pressure works wonders. Coach, usually known for their classy up-scale, yet affordable bags, is now delving into python. It had to start sometime. With every other designer using exotic materials, Coach has decided it is their turn too. Brand new is the Coach Python Small Pocket Satchel. Personally, I don’t really dig the color chosen. For their first exotic skin bag, shocking blue might be a little too risky- especially for the not so typical price tag we all associate with Coach. The inside features of the satchel include an inside zip pocket, a whatever-you-want-to-store inside pocket, and imported silk lining. The outside features show everyone else the exotic python with calfskin trim, two front and side pockets, and outside zip pocket, and brass turnlock closures. The dimensions are 10 5/8 (L) x 5 1/2 (H) x 4 5/8 (W). For about 6 times over what you are used to spending at Coach, the Coach Python Small Pocket Satchel is available for $1900 via Coach.

Along with the satchel comes the Coach Python Demi. This bag I can stomach a little more because it’s not as big in size so you can get away with some bold colors a bit easier. This demi has all 3 S’s. Small, Simple, and Sexy. The inside of the bag has a cell phone or multi-function pocket and is also lined with imported silk. The outside features the python with calfskin trim and a zip-top closure. The chain is quite fun- it’s an 18 1/2” removable python and brass chain strap with a dogleash clip. The overall dimensions of the bag are 9 1/2 (L) x 4 5/8 (H) x 1 (W). This very small but exotic bag can be purchased for $900 through Coach.
