I never found Coach bags endearing. I never salivated over colour variations, I never yearned nor pined over a new style that they put out. I’ll admit I often swiped a store catalogue to thumb through for entertainment, but I could never get myself to purchase one of these things.

And you thought that Coach was just for girls? No, men once in awhile peruse the over-lit stores for leather wallets and $40.00 money clips. I was taken aback at how sale-hungry the girls can get when they see a member of the opposite sex step into the store.

I’ll let you in on a secret – I once spent a good half hour in store debating which one I wanted to buy, under $300.00. But I couldn’t bring myself to do it because of the fact that I could never truly be satisfied with the pattern, the shape, the materials, or the overall feeling that I got from holding it. I found them awkwardly shaped, lacking design and innovation, and I felt like I was somehow assimilating myself into a massive cult full of mask-makeup and tacky bags.

Yes, hate my words – but Coach bags are the epitome of overpriced sub luxury. Now excuse me while I leaf through this lovely booklet whose cover is a picture of a girl adorned in Coach product. Ahem.
