Somethings been bugging me. Something has been bugging me for a long time. It's something that I see a whole lot of people carry and think it is okay when in all reality they are making a huge fashion don't. The Coach Bag. I believe this bag became popular with all of it's glorious C's on canvas around the early 2000's. I know it was a time when we were all still in college. See being 2003 and being 21, sometimes you don't have the best judgement on bags and purchase what you see to be popular. I mean I didn't even start my fixation on bags until I graduated college and had my own money to throw around on overpriced but worth every penny big label handbags. I can proudly say I have NEVER owned a Coach bag but I don't want to be a total bitch here so let's just go over what made you buy that Coach bag, why in the world do you still wear it, and most importantly..........the on Gods earth to you think it's appropriate to add a Coach scarf or key chain or whatever awful accessories I see hanging off of these bags. Please know I am not trying to be mean, I am just trying to help. And please ALWAYS remember "Always chose LV's over C's". Learn it, Love it, Own it.
There are a couple of exceptions to this rule......chicks in HS that don't have any fashion knowledge yet, and women over 50. Fine whatever I mean this is still a huge fashion disaster but we'll cut these people a break. Let me tell you though, my mother is 62 and would never be caught dead with the "C" going on. I kinda taught her that though. You can also help your elders! So last night I was craving a philly cheese steak from the mall food court. While I eating a small piece of heaven and drinking my coke I began to Coach bags coming at me left and right. It was like a horrible nightmare but I was wide awake. I didn't even know people carried these yucky things anymore. Why are these bags still around I thought to myself? Now I know there are Coach stores everywhere now a days but I thought people would eventually come to their senses and know that overpriced canvas bags with C's all over them along with horrid decorations are not going to make them a fashionista. What I would like to do is just throw out there that it is soo easy for some people to get used to certain styles and just stick with them. Huge no no. So what I am going to do is try to introduce you guys to other styles and designers. And believe me just post your used Coach Bag on craigslist or ebay and it should sell very easily. Get rid of them.
Let's just start off with a huge NO on my end in the higher end category. Burberry Nova Check bags. With a great price point varying from around $400-$600 you might this these PVC made in china bags are a steal. No, they suck! Even when I was with the company myself and my coworkers just really pitied these bags and how fast they flew out of the store. I totally never got it. It's just a NO! Another line that is at a sensible price but if almost 99% horrid are bags from Juicy. I mean hello did you ever notice that they are ALWAYS on the sale table at Sak's. And just to top it all off basically ANY bad that states what brand it is all over the bag can take a hike! Girls.....these bags are supposed to be a longterm deal. A classic that you will always wear. Do not go and throw your money away on a small bag that has G's all over it for Guggi. Gucci had GORGEOUS bags. Why pay less and get a shitty one. Save up and get a limited edition one or one of the huge leathers with the classic Gucci clasp. Same exact thing goes for the Diors. I know those little saddlebags with the "CD"'s all over it they have are cute but believe me in 5 years you won't want to see that thing ever again. Not worth it! And lastly.......TRENDY LV small pvc bags. I love my Louis don't get me wrong but do you ever still see Jessica still wearing her huge white Louis she wanted so bad and wore endlessly on Newlyweds? Yeah, I didn't think so either.
Bags that are fabulous and around the same price as the Coach bag that you just sold! Kooba bags. I love this line. Amazing leather and classic styles. If you want a logo on you this is not for you. Bag's range from like ehh $300-$600. It may not have a name all over it but believe me these bags look more expensive and beautiful on then those "C" bags ever will. Coach bags have cheap written all over them. Marc by Marc Jacob. Not my pick by any means but this is a good line. Some have the label all over it and some do not. Good for the girl in her 20's. Price range around the same as Kooba. Tory Burch. I think these are a great choice. I just saw one that I adored for $425 in just a great washed leather. Hobo International. I once was drooling over this bag when I think I was working and I asked her what it was and she said Hobo International so of course I went home and googled but could not find this exact bag but believe me they have awesome bags. Henri Bendel. love love love love. Best bags. Best price points. I just saw a new one that I am going to get when I have some extra money after wedding season! btw just for knowledge....Henri Bendel and Coco Chanel did accessories together. If you look at both lines you can see many similarities.
Now I'm just going to list some lines that I love and are to die:
Chanel
Balenciaga(I think everyone already knows about that obsession)
Miu Miu
Marc Jacobs(I still have dreams about getting a Stam bag)
Prada
Jimmy Choo
Ferragmo
And always remember "LV's over C's"
Peace and Love
