Retail Review: Coach Purse and Wallet

     So a few months ago I stopped at an outlet store and walked into a Coach store. Not expecting to buy ANYTHING! Because with my past experiences Coach is a little expensive for my blood, but on this occasion they were having a summer sale and gave me a 50% off coupon when I walked in the door. Let me say that again, 50% OFF! My entire order, not "after spending 1,000,500.59, but my entire order of any price. So of course, I had to look around with the possibility of a wallet or scarf in mind. I must have walked through the entire store five times making a mental wishlist, before I found the "SALE" wall. Basically, it was 40% off the lowest price, and don't forget that 50% off coupon I had gripped tightly in my hand. So I found the very last cream colored coach hand bag that I had been looking at for a year every time I walked into a Coach store, ON THE SALE WALL!! Can you believe it? So I grabbed it and found a wallet with a pop of color that would work perfectly, also on the sale wall. Now, if you've ever met me, I'm all about a sale, but if it isn't quality, I don't want to spend any money on it. $1 or not. Knowing that I had owned a Coach brand wallet for ten years before it wore out, I know this brand is quality, so it's worth spending a little extra money, but not too much to where you don't have a place to live or food to eat for the night. So I did the
math in my head and on my trusty phone calculator five or six times before I creeped up to the register. The sales attendant was so nice and rung up my purchase and her jaw dropped after putting in my coupon code. She was just as amazed as I was. This purse retails for $489 and the wallet is just below $200. My total, after taxes was $89.62. Are you kidding? I couldn't whip out my card fast enough! So now it has been a couple months later and I am still in love with this purse. It's not too big, but big enough to keep everything I need and still stay organized. I can carry it as a hand bag, or (as of lately) unhook the strap and pull it over the top and wear it on my shoulder. It isn't as pretty as a shoulder bag, but it's much easier to grocery shop with. (Okay, Okay, I mean shoe shop) Overall, I give the bag a 9.5 out of ten and the wallet gets a 10 out of 10. I would purchase these again at this price, ANY day! Don't forget the sale racks, there are usually a few gems in there, that you can brag about too!
