I really do love purses, but it’s still not everyday that a bag on display in a store window will make me stop in my tracks. These did, and I’m not even a big fan of Coach!
The coarse canvas body, the rope handle, the leather trim, the little “baggage tags” and the green, brown, and gold beading scream “SUMMER!” It’s like a wonderful seaside holiday of lazy days lounging on sandy beaches and wandering through tide pools has been incarnated into a collection of totes.
What do you think of them? Do you find them as fabulously whimsical as I do?
I love the canvas and rope option!!!! A complete beach bag!

I’m not usually a big Coach fan…but these are a crazy knockout!!! I’m super distracted at the idea of going to get the one with the starfish! They are so fun, and so worth writing about

I didn’t want to go into the store for fear I would be tempted to spend too much!
What fun! I really dig the first one!
Me too. That’s my favorite. There’s something about the beading that just makes me happy.
These are so fabulous!

They’re very “you”, only you would have found some amazing vintage version in a box in the back of a shop somewhere! I was just wandering around the local mall…

Isn’t it though! I have to be strong and NOT go back, otherwise the credit card might sneak out of my purse, which would be a very bad thing.

Me too Faye! They’re so much fun, where as Fall and Winter bags seem so much more serious.
Ooh I really like them! They would be perfect beach-wear, especially the starfish one!
I can see you wearing one with one of your traditional Indian outfits. It would look great!

Loving these–I’m not a Coach fan, I’ve never even owned one–but I like these a lot. Love those C’s they kind of remind me of Chanel, and the rope detail is really great too. I’m glad you wrote about these otherwise I would never have known that they are doing cuter stuff.

Believe me when I walked past the store window I was shocked. I don’t dislike their work but it doesn’t usually make me want to jump up and down either. These, on the other hand, were so fun and whimsical! Glad you like them too.
