The Coach Purse, the Better Purse
Before getting my first Coach purse a few years ago I would use nothing but cheap bags I found at discount department stores. When I decided to finally splurge on something better it was only because I was going to be at a formal event and needed something that was practical but still looked classy. The Coach purse that I bought was stylish and went well with the dress I was wearing and in the end it all made me look and feel great.
Once I used my Coach purse that night I began looking for other excuses to take it out with me because it got so many compliments. Eventually I began taking it with me everywhere sometimes even dressing up to match the accessory instead of the other way around. Not only was the purse as good as any other in terms of being roomy easy to organize but I found that it outlasted any other handbag I ever owned.
In the past I would replace my handbags all the time because things would fall apart. Either the inner pockets would tear, the zipper would break or the handle would detach from the bag. The new purse turned out to be worth every penny I spent on it if only for the fact that it didn't only last me, but it never even appeared to begin wearing out.
As I started having more and more love for my little purse I broke down and decided to buy another one. I had enough money by then to treat myself to better things so the temptation of getting another Coach purse, one that was better looking for every day use, was easy to give in to. Their line up of handbags and other accessories has always been astounding so choosing just one was difficult.
Like so many people out there I find their unique styles to be irresistible.
Coach purses these days come in anything from wild bright colors, off the wall patterns or simple understated leather looks. Being someone who likes to carry a lot of unnecessary things around with me it's nice that so many of their bags are bursting with pockets. Better still, unlike so many of the older non branded handbags I would carry around, Coach purses manage to offer all these pockets in a way that doesn't come off as looking tacky.
With some styles made out of fabrics or Suede, they are still most famous for their leather purses, which I love. Since they first began designing woman's accessories in the fifties they have used only the best leather refining process. It was all inspired by the leather of a baseball glove which is what makes the leather Coach Purses amongst the softest around.
It's also what makes their tanned leather purses have such a unique look.
Today I own four Coach purses of my own and it seems like I'm becoming somewhat of a collector. I have a small one in bright red, a large patterned one, my classy black suede purse and, naturally, a handy tanned leather purse.

I am talking about the new Prada/Jute Snakeskin Hobo.
For those you that love a bit of glitz and glamour, you...
