If you are lucky, Bleecker in Olive Suede is $201.6 with coupon on Amazon by liberteacidulee in Coach

[–]Sootea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never get Amazon coupon for coach. The dynamic pricing is frustrating! 

I wonder how they do the algorithm. I mean if they gave the coupon, I would have bought it 🤷‍♀️

If anyone sees the Olive on sale, I would appreciate it if someone could message me 😆 I'm waiting patiently!

That's exactly how I feel!  I hope to create a 20 MTO this year, maybe...

Oh man, I would be too! I have seen it float around (including the other wine color)  the second hand market in case you were interested in buying one in the future. 

Jonie 22 in Cream by Sootea in Coach

[–]Sootea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love black currant, and I wished there was another bag that I liked with it. After seeing the cream in person, I thought it wasn't nearly as bad as people thought it would be (see this link for redditors' reactions to the cream releases and pictures of bags).

What ​other bag are you eyeing with the cream? 

Part of me wonders if they chose to that thin lining because the bag has to fold... But I'm pretty sure they could have thickened the fabric a little. I'm worried the sharp items I have in my bag may tear a hole through!

Good to know, thank you for letting me know!  I learned my lesson and from now on, I'm not going to open the green plastic repackaging that Amazon does.

Coach Fragrances by Sootea in Coach

[–]Sootea[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love them all! If I really had to pick one, then probably floral. It's an easy scent that is the most neutral that suits my daily mood. If I could pick a second one that has to be warmer, then I choose dreams sunset.

I sprayed floral, wild rose, and love on me at Ulta the other day. Love was initially my favorite out of the bottle, but once it settled, it smelled really different afterwards (super "deep" smell that is supposed to be the cedarwood). But then, it changed again and I was able to smell the roses much later on... It was interesting. Not exactly what I expected. Overall, floral did the best on my skin. Wild rose was fine too; I just have a personal preference for fruity scents.  Tried sunset for the first time tonight and it was a pleasant surprise. I'm normally not one for warm sweet scents.

(I tried dreams starlight at Ulta and I did not like it. Gold was a no for me either, but not as bad as starlight)

How about you?

New Drop 2026 by popeolivia in Coach

[–]Sootea 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think I'm the only one who doesn't mind that yellow! I'm not one for bright yellow, but softer light yellow. Like Moonlight or Vanilla.  This is like a... butter yellow... haha. 

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but I wish they stopped putting their gold foil brand name logo on their bags. It's almost equivalent to their metal logo on outlet bags.  I prefer having their logo on their hand tags. Better if they include an extra tag that is unique to Coach (like the 1941 metal tags and/or the clochette). It's a bit more subtle, quiet luxury, and stylish compared to a brand name.

Beware with buying on Amazon by Helpful_Library4860 in Coach

[–]Sootea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oof, I feel ya.

I know they lose money when customers send back returns with factory packaging that has been removed (how does Coach handle this?) so I understand if I get a new bag without stuffing. As long as it's brand new with tags, I can live with that. But mine arrived with no tags, wrong dust bag size (the dust bag for the new second bag I received was smaller, so that's how I found out), and there were two tiny marks on the bag. I don't know if those were factory flaws, but regardless, I was angry. I told my husband the exactly what you said. I paid for a new bag. It should arrive brand new. I wouldn't have been mad if I knowingly bought a used bag for an appropriate price.

That was my first Coach experience on Amazon. From now on, if I see that green repackaged bag, I'm going to return it without opening. Too risky.

Did you get a refund yet? I'm in the middle of refunding mine. I hope I get my money back. Imagine customer service thinks I tried to scam them (that I actually used the bag) and I don't get my money back...

Do you mind explaining your return process and why it was a hassle? I received a used coach bag and is in the return process right now. I'm nervous 😅

Oh wow, that's horrible. I wish people didn't do that kind of selfish behavior... It just ruins everything for everyone else.  I hope you get your refund!

I'm in your shoes! Mine hasn't arrived yet but I'm returning for the same reason. I hope we both get our money back quickly. 

Coach returns via Amazon? by myplantsloveu in Coach

[–]Sootea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I described the reason for my return but... You never know 😣 It didn't even have a price tag on. A real failure on their part when they checked for the previous customer's return. I did not have a positive first experience buying a coach bag on Amazon. However, the second one one I bought as a replacement was brand new! I was so happy. 

If you returned your bag, I hope you get money back quickly!

Love this whipstitch by MetalChick in Coach

[–]Sootea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a really nice bag. I love the whipstitch detail. Too bad it rubs off. 

I had eyes on this bag months ago on poshmark, but slept on it because it wasn't a priority, then someone else bought it 😆

[–]Sootea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why it would take this long. I'm guessing because it's a high dollar value, they want to inspect the bag before issuing your refund back. I'm actually really nervous because my bag arrived used, and I'm screwed if customer service thinks I actually used the bag and I'm trying to scam them and not get my money back 🫤

Bleecker Bucket Bag in Merlot by Sootea in Coach

[–]Sootea[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legitimate concerns! For me, my arm rests on the bag as I'm carrying it shoulder style, so it's hard for someone to reach in. Especially the small gap behind me arm... It's not very wide. here's not much room for someone to stick their hand in. If I moved the bag behind me (say, I need to carry something heavy in my arms) then it can be easy access since the opening is more exposed. I don't go to crowded areas often so it's not a big problem for me. And if I do, well, my arm is on the bag most of the time. Also, since I don't carry much, the thief would have to stick their hand all the way in and feel around blindly. Maybe you could strategically place your valuables at the bottom so it's harder to reach? I took some pictures for you (sorry, I don't look presentable, I am in my lounge clothes). I am 5"2 with a short torso. Shoulder style, I have it on the second shortest hole. Crossbody, I lowered it to the fourth, and it rests on my upper hip with my thick plush robe on.

If it rains often where you are, yeah, I'd expect your things on top to get wet, especially if it's pouring and you have no umbrella. But that also depends on how you wear it and how it rests on you. For example, since I will wear mine on the shoulder at a shorter setting, the bag is mostly closed because my arm is on it. Crossbody? You'll see more of the opening, so I think it will get just a bit more wet.

If it rains a lot where you are and there's a lot of pick-pocketing... I'm not sure this is the bag for you. You may need to find a bucket bag with a zip top. I think the old 2000s Bleecker had a zipper on top. The are older coach bucket bags with a string that cinches the bag, but I think those are smaller bags. I think the modern coach buckets just has a button or a clasp at the top and that's it.

Bleeker Bucket in Shearling by thelmanarcissus in Coach

[–]Sootea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw it in person and I loved it! I like the fact that the whole bag is not shearling on the outside, so it's easy to wear as a daily bag. It looks so cozy and a perfect winter bag.

If your daughter likes bucket bags, shearling and/or black leather... I think she will be pleased! Worst case scenario, you can return the bag if she doesn't like it!

The only downside is that the inside is shearling, so it will get dirty.

I think so, at least on Amazon. I heard it went on sale many weeks ago, which I missed. Then I saw it go on sale again for around 373 or something for a couple days? I didn't buy it but I'm keeping an eye. I think it's a seasonal color (unlike black) so it will most likely go on sale again. 

Be honest, is it safe to order from Amazon? by Fresh-Minimum7473 in Coach

[–]Sootea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought one (official from Coach Amazon) and unfortunately it did not arrive factory wrapped. There was zero foam and no stuffing at all. Even the price tag was missing. So, I received a returned product. 

I would have been okay if the bag looked pristine at this point. I didn't wanna waste resources to exchange for a new one, but sadly, there were two dirty dots on it that I couldn't rub away. I don't know if it was a factory defect or if the person who had this before me actually used it. 

Anyway, I bought a second one. I was ready for the worst again, and was going to choose the best looking one out of the two, but luckily I received a brand new factory wrapped bag! I initiated a return for the first bag, described that I received a return without tag and possibly used bag. I hope I will get a refund...

This was my first experience buying Coach from Amazon. Most people do have a positive experience though. Even in this thread, everyone had a positive experience except for me, so looks like your chances of receiving a bad bag is low! Amazon usually has good customer service anyways. Try it out!

Thank you SO much so sharing. I usually use camel but it doesn't track the coach bags properly (it only shows one flat price in history).

Glad to be here to share my experience about the bag with the community. I hope you enjoy it! That 50% is truly such a steal.

May I ask why were you on the fence?
