Before I came across this sneaky surprise on Coach.com, I was doubtful Coach could surprise me this much—after our “incident.” But now I’m looking forward to a life of loving Coach non-signature bags, on occasion, and continuing a collection, when bags are sized to price right.
There really are plenty of lovely new bags by Coach, including two additional varieties of the Daphne Satchel (metallic and suede!).
But there is one bag in the new collection that really stands out, it’s the Hamptons Vintage Carryall. Named “Vintage” for its period-reminiscent details, it really is all about the details. Where Coach now fails on logo alignment, they make up for in strides with braided straps, fine materials, and new touches.
The carryall features an extra detail on every aspect, including stitched handles, two-tone tassels, unique thick stitching mixed with smaller stitches, et cetera, et cetera! This lightweight leather, 15″ length tote comes in a variety of all-wonderful colors, for $598.
If only these divine details came in a smaller bag, and price.

Like yourself, I’ve also been wary of Coach bags. I’ve suffered too many disappointments not to be. But this bag is rather refreshing and it’s good to know that Coach has the potential to create classics.

I appreciate your detailed comment. But I had to remove the advertising for your own store (that you work for) in it. I do appreciate the work put in to tie Shoebuy’s bags into the Coach one, but I can’t allow it.
I recognize the value in business blogging, but I think the practice should be kept to perhaps mentioning one’s own blog in other sites’ comments, and not using their blogs as your own corporate one. You understand?
But as always, I enjoy getting comments from you, as you are a repeat visitor with valuable things to add. I encourage people to visit your blog and Shoebuy.com. I could even post some more bags (and shoes at Kiss Me, Stace) from the shop.
Thank you!
