Coach Purses: New York, Through & Through

As being a New York City lover into fashion, I grew up with a strong adoration for Coach purses. To think about Coach when I think of New York, and of handbags, or leather goods has always been automatic.

But, only within the last couple years has there really been any sort of connection for me between Coach and knockoffs. In fact I —————- remember the first time I saw a fake Coach bag. It wasn’t down in Chinatown but it wasn’t a long, very long time ago. In was uptown, on the arm of an exceedingly chic looking lady walking into a hotel on the Park in around 2003. Lord knows what designed me notice it, but I assumed to myself, gee, the coloring of that leather is totally wrong!

Thinking about it at this time, that needed to be an alarmingly early Coach replica. A) Because I do know for a fact there is no real marketplace for it until 2002, and B) Because something as obvious as coloring of leather would never continue on any decent quality replica Coach handbags these days. That lady may have been breaking new ground, but unfortunately, for her, it had been still shaky territory.

Oh, how things change. At this time, not only is Coach really the only American brand to face shoulder to shoulder with European miracles of fashion like Gucci, Prada and Louis Vuitton, but Coach bags are among the very best selling of any brand, not only here in the States, however the world.
