Well "darling" so it seems that the only thing that runs through you head is the popularity of a status bag! I am talking about Coach b.c there is a revolution going on in The Coach house in the United States. Its an old American brand trying to achive what it was meant to be. Be a luxury brand the same way Vuitton was once a struggling brand. Vuitton has a legacy and through the years so can Coach!. Be intelectual this a Fashion furum for people who talk Fashion not ignorance or stupidity about a bag that plays no important role in your life. It has no income to dont worry about it.
Um, okay, well since you replied, i will too. I just cant help myself this time
Believe me, popularity is IN NO WAY EVER an issue with my handbag choices. I make handbags, as well as buy them, and quality and longevity is a key factor in any product I purchase. The fact that LV bags are status bags doesn't phase me at all. They are quality products and are popular because they are so well made and practical. The trend of popularizing monogramed bags was something that exploded into the mainstream in the late 1990's, in a great way because of celebrity worship. To so many more, the LV monogram, the damier print, are icons of quality, longevity and timelessness.....and not about popularity.
You for one, since you're speaking of discussing in an 'intelectual' matter, should be the last one to jump to conclusions and assume I buy LV bags for status. That is one of the biggest stereotypes about LV owners and obviously, you believe the stereotype. I find your statement to be very ignorant, because your very first statement was incorrect from the get-go. Please let me refresh:
"These are fakes!!
When you buy fakes you are funding terrorism and child labor!
Think about it folks, if you cant afford don't fight it.
COACH is an all American luggage company that will one day be the American Version of the Louis Vuitton. There less expensive just like Vuitton was when it first started to sell in the 1800s." --mota3089
The bag you were making a statement about was no a fake. That is a bold comment to make outright if you have no clue what your talking about. Obviously you are not very familiar with the brand, nor authentic bags either.
Yes, you are partially correct when you state you are funding child labor and terrorism through fake handbags, but I cant help but think that that statement sounds like regeritated reteric from a Harpers Bazzarr editorial. They are the main magazine that linked counterfeiting to terrorism, and did not provide very many facts to support the point of their article, with the exception of a vague counterfeit bust in new york, yet many many people now create that association because of one magazine article.
Yes, Coach is an american company, although they outsource a large majority of their labor to CHINA, much like Dooney and Bourke, using substandard labor and underpaid their workers. Face it, Coach mass produces a ton of bags and accessories, differing each season and the quality of bags now-a-days is far less superior to the original Coach bags manufactured when the company first began making bags. Since the 80's, there has been a quality decline in their bags. That statement is like saying Old Navy is an american brand, and one day they will become luxury....
I have nothing against coach bags. But when comparing them to a brand like Louis Vuitton, there are drastic differences in the companies, the way they market, and their product quality.
Yes, you are correct Louis Vuitton cost far less than they do now, but one cannot account for over 100 years of inflation, now can they?
Louis Vuitton bags are still made by hand, their manufacturing process is faster than is was decades ago, yet they still maintain the integrity of their craft. Coach on the otherhand, outsources cheap labor and the quality control over their bags is no where near that of Louis Vuiton.
'll leave it at that. The facts. And not go into detail on decyphering misconstrewed sentences, mispellings and whatnot.
but i decided on the multicolore coz i think it'll look nice hanging on the outside of the red epi speedy but now i'm not so sure... 
I've never given a fig about date codes before as I've only ever bought Vuitton from Vuitton so no worries about authenticity. However, I am thinking of perhaps parting with some of my beloved bags and I know that things like date codes are make or break on the dreaded Ebay
coach = kmart of all luxe bags 
I located both date codes myself - quite hard though - they were printed on the lining material and inside the interior pockets. Thanks
