The Top 5 Coach Bags For Autumn 08
Starting out as a basic, quality manufacturer of luggage in the 1940s, Coach has become one of the choice brands for the well-to-do girl. The designs are practical, with a flair for fashion - as such, they have risen to iconic status in some circles. This season’s bags are no exception, with great new colour schemes, constructions and finishes.
1. With its updated yet classic construction, the Hamptons Leather Caryall is one of Coach’s most advertised bags this season. There’s a good reason for that: it is a mid-size bad that isn’t overly fancy, but still retains a classic sense of charm. Whether you’re headed for a stroll in the park or to a fancy dinner, this bag will accompany you in style.
2. The Carly Signature, popular through past seasons, is still going strong. You can get it in different colour combinations (including one with the black logo fabric), and has proven itself as a great casual bag for the urban girl. This bag loves being taken on shopping excursions, or day trips which will make full use of its capacious size. Several female friends of mine are in love with this bag.
3. If you’ve got the urge to strut about bedecked in mid-century style, the Hamptons Vintage Flap Satchel is the purse for you. Elegant, put-together and a bit nostalgic, this purse lends a retro edge to any outfit you pair it with. Though the turquoise colour is the nicest, they also carry it in a more sedate shade of white.
4. With styling reminiscent of Hermes’ Kelly bag, this python-embossed Hamptons Flap Tote is loaded with over-the-top glamour. Not for the faint of heart, the look may not stay fresh too far into the future - but for those of you who like to live in the now (and make a big statement while you’re at it), this is the purse for you.
5. For those of you who are sick to death of those oversized bags (let’s face it, as practical as they can be… sometimes they cross the line into overkill), you might opt for something smaller. This elegant patent leather Reese Mini Flap is the perfect solution! It’s killer stylish, and will give you that retro chic look that is so coveted lately.
There you have it, ladies; if you’re going to shell out for a Coach purse this season, these are the ones to go for. Over and out!
