What’s your Coach Count?
Rich of Queercents writes about The Purse. So for all you budget fashionistas out there, what’s your Coach (or whatever brand) count? Do you revel in your good deals? Did you earn your purse as a reward to yourself? Crow about them here in the comments!
I left a comment at Queercents. I have 4 Coach bags. I’m not ashamed to admit it. I’ll give you a story about each one:
1) Baxter Bag: Black, approximately 14 years old. I bought it with my first tax refund after working as an intern at Wharton all summer. I still have it and it fits a lot of stuff, even if it’s out of style and everyone thinks it’s a bowling ball bag. It’s a great mini-satchel.
2) Grey purse: Bought it at the Outlet shops in Petaluma, CA. It’s a small thing that carries my wallet, keys, cellphone and lipstick when I’m out clubbing. It’s too small for anything else, but perfect when I’m wearing an outfit without pockets.
3) Black neoprene purse: Also from the Outlets at Petaluma. It’s boxy with an adjustable strap. Everyone loves it. I get the most compliments on this bag, even though I bought it at least 6 years ago when I still lived in CA. There is something really cute about a little lunchboxy bag that’s not actually a hard case.
4) Signature Demi Pouch: Gold, received Summer 2006 at my cousin’s wedding. It was a gift from a family member. The gold is very cute and trendy. I kind of like it. I’ve been thinking of getting this bag for a while, because of the size, but never got around to it. Couldn’t really justify adding another purse to my collection.
5) Bucket Hat: It matches #4. A few years ago, my mom asked me for a bucket hat to wear while playing golf. I get her exactly what she requested, knowing that she still likes Coach brand stuff, and then she doesn’t wear it. She wonders why I don’t buy her anything anymore. She doesn’t use the gifts she’s requested! I hate that. Since I found it languishing in the front closet, I took it, and I wear it when it rains. It’s perfect with my purse since I match. The guys at work make fun of me for it, but I don’t care. SOMEONE ought to wear the darned thing before it goes out of style completely. It’s part of my aspiring ‘ladies-who-lunch’ image.
