Tweed is the new cool. It’s no longer for librarians, but perhaps for chic school girls, whom like to study and shop; drink a cocktail with the girls, and write her own grade-A essays, learn chemistry and experiment on boys–no, men.
Maturity is sophistication, and it’s a growing trend. But this tweed (or bouclé) appeal has roots deeper than that. If you put on your (face-flattering, of course) eyeglasses and examine a true designer bag weaved with wool and threads (including subtle shimmering threads for this Coach bag), you’ll see the beauty and intricacy.
Yes, this COACH Chelsea Bouclé Demi embodies everything one might desire in a tweed accessory, or any designer handbag, perhaps? Each bag, due to the handmade crafting, is unique. With my perfectionist predilection, I found my absolute perfect dream bag. In my new fall bag, the bolder orange “stripes” are aligned in an even, balanced manner. It speaks to my symmetrical eye.
There are more details, of course, including trimmings of leather and soft suede. Two brass buckle rings wrap in a leather strapped flap. And along the edge of the classic Coach reinforced edges, is golden piping.
You should be aware that the online store’s photo is incorrect. The strap is simpler, with a one-side dog leash clip. I suspect with that design removal, is when they added the sparkling threading. My calculations say it is quite worth it.

I have actually seen this bag and it is to die for! I could hardly resist the urge to pull out my card and charge it especially when i saw the peek toe heels that match. Ladies if you’re thinking of getting this bag, go for it. It’s a great investment.

Thanks for your comment. I saw FLATS that matched in Macy’s!!! (And the new herringbone “Coral Pumps”?!!!) I love those! But I do go for quantity/wearability (somewhat) over designer/expense in shoes. I saw seychelles tweed flats that might be comfortable. Unfortunately, I’m starting to go for quantity AND designer in bags, though! I’ll probably buy a Coach shoe at some point, when I find one that just sings to me and is very comfortable/practical. But even at eBay prices (sometimes), they cost more than I’d like.
The thing with designer items for me, though, is that I go nuts trying to keep them nice and clean. I can’t picture myself with designer shoes and staying sane.
