Up until recently, I always considered high end purses to be too costly and not worth the money. Growing up, I had seen my mom receive Coach purses as gifts from relatives and was even asked if I would like one as a birthday gift last year, which I declined. However, after much research I decided to jump the gun. What really prompted me was a combination of two things. I had seen a blog post highlighting the beauty of various vintage Coach pieces and secondly, I thought it was time that I invest in some quality pieces to incorporate into my wardrobe. The Coach Court Bag was what I decided to purchase as my first piece.
Via the Coach website, the bag retails $258.00. However, I purchased mine via Etsy. I was ecstatic at the condition the bag came in! Included with the bag was a dust bag to protect it from scratches, its original strap and hangtag. The bag hangs just at the hip with the strap, but can also be carried on its own via the handle. Honestly, I have never viewed a purse as being beautiful...but I can definitely say this one is.
One thing to keep in mind though is that there are numerous counterfeits on the second-hand market. I would recommend doing a lot of research before purchasing a bag and familiarize yourself with the product. An alternative would be to consider purchasing from an outlet store as many outlet stores offer significant discounts. I have also read that sometimes there are good finds at Savers, Goodwill, Salvation Army, consignment shops or thrift shops.
Hope this was helpful and for those of you that are interested, good luck with the treasure hunt! Do you like Coach purses? Comment below on which styles are your favorite!
