Ahh Coach... How can one think that a beautiful Coach bag is not worth the money?
One who takes pride in there handbag and has used a Coach definitely will think they are worth every penny and more.
From one who has several different designer bags, including mostly Coach, I always resort back to the Coach.
Now, in comparison to Louis Vuitton or Prada, Coach bags are relatively inexpensive. The cost factor should be the least noted point when debating designer handbags. All designer handbags are going to be expensive. Its the wear and the functionality and the feeling that comes from these bags that we should be commenting on.

When i choose my handbag for the week or occasion, and I grab one of my Coach bags, it feelks wonderful. The straps are always comfortable and they always fulfill the purpose of them.
Let's look at different styles:
I carry a large tote for everyday use. It holds everything that I need on a daily basis. It has large interior pockets for the smaller items that need to be contained and not on the bottom of the purse. The straps are nice and long but not too long so that i can throw it over my shoulder or carry it dangling in my hand if need be. It is very durable with the leather corners on it, so no matter where I set it down, it doesn't look ragged.
Inside of my tote, I carry a small pouch. It holds my change and lip gloss and other odds and ends. It matches my purse perfectly and was designed to fit exactly against the side of the larger tote.

These are my regular day to day Coach items, and I get comments on them all the time. I feel great carrying my Coach purses. I know that they are stylish and practical and give me confidence. It makes the chore of having to carry a handbag all the time all that much better when you can enjoy it. The service that I receive from Coach the stores when I go in to purchase something is extrordinary! The sales clerks are so helpful and very pleasant. The check out process is very purchaser friendly. Your purchase is waiting for you at the cash register when you are ready, you pay and they greet you and walk you out of the store with your new things. Other stores should have the same level of detail on making the customer feel welcomed. All of this plays into how worth while Coach handbags are. It all comes into play with the experience.

In comparison to other things that we purchase, and get no use out of, a stylish handbag doesn't seem like an outlandish purchase to me. If you can look at something and know that it is going to make you feel good and you will use it daily - why not splurge and spend a little more money on it.
