I guess there are worse obsessions

It all started in fall 2024. For nearly a decade, I’d been faithfully carrying a flat crossbody Cole Haan bag in teal. Amazing leather, perfect bag, but after ten years of daily use, she was looking pretty rough. Time to find its replacement.

I ended up with a dark blue metallic HOBO bag and really liked it. Shortly after, I flew to Atlanta to visit my daughter. As we were leaving dinner one evening, I completely face-planted on the concrete. Bloody nose and all. And wouldn’t you know it, my brand new bag took the hit with me.

So there I was, back on the hunt for one bag again. And then it happened. The Coach Cargo Shoulder bag. (Pictured, isn’t she beautiful?).

I don’t know if I damaged my frontal lobe in that fall or what, but I haven’t been able to stop buying Coach bags since. I regret nothing.

So what is the bag that started it all for you?

Coach Outlet Andre Barrel Bag 24 has officially won me over. Such a great little bag, and I’m a sucker for silver hardware!

My little corner of the Stuart Vevers archival era featuring the Willis reissues, the Courier, and my new teal Cityblock bag.
I might get a little flak for this, but this era completely clears current Coach. The leather is heavy, the hardware feels real, and best of all, they are sitting beautifully on the secondhand market just waiting to be loved. There is no staying up all night, no instant sell outs, and zero stress.
Look at what we've been sleeping on!

Show me your earlier Vevers bags.
