[quote MargosKaftan]@chocolatesaltyballs22 - I know what you mean, they are good shapes and good quality but theres almost a compromise feel about the brand, when others at that "lower than designer, but higher than high street" bags are still desirable in a way - think others have managed to create a "ok we are not in the big league, but we are fun!" feeling to their brands, whereas coach seems to be "we are a more sensible purchase", and frankly if you wanted to be sensible you'd go to M&S.
That said, I was given a coach small cross body bag and its really lovely ! Use it so much more than I thought I would and is just the right size for evenings out when I dont want to be obviously carrying an evening bag, but don't want to take a bag I've been lugging around work all day.[/quote]
Interesting take on Coach’s image! I can see why some people may feel that way, but it’s not something that puts me off the brand. I feel the quality of the leather and design of Coach bags is better than high street offerings. I’m happy to be seen as someone too “sensible” to pay inflated designer prices for no further increase in quality 
In fact I got a lovely Coach camera bag recently and it’s made me very happy
