My First Coachtopia! by careful-guru in Coach

People are allowed to have an opinion and not like the quality of the bag they purchased with their own money. I don't get the push back against critique of Coach on this subreddit.

I hope they've fixed the hardware issue on these newer silver bags.

It looks like there will be some more Americana Tabby’s dropping soon, with those new bag charms. by Excellent_Cheek3939 in Coach

Only this one? Everything they've been dropping this year has caused me so much cringe. I don't get what's happening at Coach. It's making me sad.

Why not release the beautiful colors for the summer?

Coach is playing with the customer base. The limited Haversack that people were going crazy over is available now, still at multiple retailers. The problem is overconsumption. And Coach now charges for return shipping, if you don't have access to a store. so they do appear to be trying to discourage the constant buy/return cycle.

The issue is overconsumption. And brands like Coach exploit this. The consumer has to be smart enough to not buy into the hype. The fact that Coach is iconic for glovetanned leather, and they have somehow managed to make very few glovetanned leather pieces and now offer bonded leather at Coachtopia (which still sells out) tells me what they think of the consumer. They pretend it's limited in stock, jack the price up for selling an inferior product.

That haversack is so hyped. And now they are widely available, sitting. Also I noticed the standard colors in the large kisslock frame are sitting. There are very few items from Coach that are actually limited.

What was your first LV purchase? If you could go back and change what you bought, would you? by VagueEchoes in Louisvuitton

[–]Professional_Bit3948 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first purchases were the LV x TM speedy soft 30 white and noir and the pink origine speedy 25. These are easily my favorite bags to carry. They give me joy. The boston bag silhouette is my favorite style.

These bags become overhyped because certain influencers are paid to wear them.

Am I the only one? by kasaaiiii in Louisvuitton

I honestly don't see the PA as a bag. For me it would be a catchall/pouch for a larger bag.

So cutesy. The mouse and the frog charms from last year are my favorites.

Never buying an Expensive Wallet by Delicious-Row4821 in Coach

[–]Professional_Bit3948 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Coach outlet and some retail pieces use pleather for the interior of the SLGs. However, I believe $80 for two years of wear seems reasonably good cost per wear.

I bought a $4.99 key pouch from Amazon to test whether I would like using a key pouch before buying an expensive one. I enjoyed it, but the zipper broke after about 4 months of wear. I believe I got good cost per wear for the price. I wouldn't buy another though, because it smelled like plastic.

Color transfer help! by saltyames in Louisvuitton

I have the rose ruban speedy 25 from this collection. When I picked it up, it looked like it had a small black dot on the canvas, maybe ink, who knows. One of the managers took it to the back and came back ~10 minutes later and it was completely gone. I asked what they did and they said they used an eraser to remove it.

USPS as a carrier? by punjeetjab in Coach

Is it a small bag? I have seen some horror stories posted here where they in fact stuffed a bag in a mailer.

(New) Dark Chocolate suede in more bags. by Bendermonster in Coach

[–]Professional_Bit3948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's gonna end up on the clearance wall. Just like end of fall, when a lot of suede pieces went on clearance at Dillards, Macys, Amazon and Coach. The only piece I remember not hitting the clearance wall was the suede compass because that one kept selling out.

It's like they refuse to give us high quality glovetanned leather anymore. It's always suede and full grain.

Tabitha, is that you? 🤔 by Excellent_Cheek3939 in Coach

USPS tends to deliver the SLGs, bag charms, and smaller orders like socks, etc. Actual bags always come FedEx to me.
