Any Coach handbags fan here ???

Twish,

i didn't see your bag in the boutique as well, but very cute. but why would you want to get something that boutique has? Then it will be so common.
 


twish... the bag's cute =) but a bit hard to match. try to bargain lah! never see in the coach outlet before too. why dun u just email esterlla? she reply very promptly one.

Mongmong,

glad to hear that!! her sis is in US i think.. so can take orders and buy if stock's available. which hobo did u get??
 
Jules,

I got the small hobo, in brown chocolate colour. The signature ones..think singapore only has white. Oh I love the braided handle, so nice!
 
mongmong: thanks.. she got in touch with me liao. will prob check out the bag tomorrow :P just wondering how come i missed it altogether in the boutique/website.

cecilia: thanks for the tip ;)
 
oh i know which one u have liao =) my friend has the black one. yeah i love the braided handle. thinking of getting the large signature hobo in black.. also with braided handle. but can't seem to find it on the coach website anymore. trying to tong pang my friend who's going US in july =)
 
twish,

i think some bags are not available here, but available in US.

When I met her, she has this white braided shoulder bag that i never see here, she told me it's available in US and Japan as far she knows. The bag is very kawaii, make her looks like a Japanese girl. She has the black one on sale, but no more white.

Jules,

The large hobo is nice.I was undecided between a small or large one. She told me to wait till next week for a large one.I think US might be more expensive, especially with the tax. My SIL's colleague can only get the gold tote bag at US$328 after tax. Luckily you told us the lobang.
 
oh is she bringing in the large one?? die lah... looks like i am gonna spend more money now!!how much is she charging ur SIL for the gold tote bag?

no problem lah =) we girls must always share good deals and lobangs ah!!
 
She's selling at $480 which my SIL is fine. My SIL feels that even she's willing to pay $755, she can't get it in Singapore because Coach said it's limited edition and they are not going to bring in anymore. My SIL said her prices are reasonable,even she don't take at $480, there are others who will because it's nice.

But it's only the big black hobo she has got. I wanted the brown one, but she said it's out of stock in US. So I got the small one.

She's also a very practical seller. When my friend asked about the patchwork hobo, she advised against spending so much on seasonal designs though she has one to sell. She felt that the patchwork will be out 3 months later, why spend so much on seasonal stuff?

I get the feeling that she's a very sincere seller and not pushy at all. She's certainly not just out to earn your $$.
 
hi twish, when i first saw tis bag on her auction, i also thought it look cute, like the studs!
happy.gif
green is very striking...it should not be v difficult to match...

hi mongmong, u mentioned she said buying fr e factory outlets....but is it true that the items in factory o r usually with defects or rejected ones? i know abt prev season designs being sold but wanna find out the condition of the bags in factory o.....

i like tat entire brown hobo too, gd tat u managed to get fr her cos local is selling e white handle one...small one is quite gd enuff alr....i tried the big hobo b4 but find it too big for me....
 
Hi lilacgal,

My boy is so notti, kept trying to pop through my braided leather handle. he is so captivated, he like to do the same to his sister's hair when i braid her hair.

I ask the same thing too, she said it's not true that factory outlets are defects, she said some models are made especially for outlets. Most are past season stuff. She quoted me the example of the beaded tote. She said that when they pulled out the berry colour one, everything went to outlets. The straw tote now on sale in DFS and boutiques for 30%, she said it's in the outlets on her last US trip 3 weeks back. You can just write to her to ask her more. I always got trouble retaining what she tells me.

She told me she got more hobo coming, white handle, brown handle, black expect full white which is easily dirtied, so no no for her! I got my small hobo at about 35% off local price.
 
Hi bubu,

You mean the hobo or the wallet? If it's hobo,my handle is brown..she's selling for $290 because my friend got a wallet and I got the hobo, so she gave us cheaper.
 
Hey Mong mong, i blur already. not sure which one u bought liao.. i thought the link bubu posted only got 3 colours.. can post a picture of ur new bag?

she told u she bringing in the big black hobo is it? sure ah? maybe i go check with her again.

the checkbook wallet looks classy.. but if i have 290 to spend, would rather get another bag.. but that's just my thoughts =)
 
Hi jules,

I bought the 6266 small hobo brown colour. On the tag, it says chocolate brown. The one I bought is out of stock here since last year.
I wanted big hobo, but she said only black and could to wait till next week when her sis is back.


Ya, I know, but I need a wallet and it's cheap...if she gives 50% off, i will buy...

Now my friend like the signature large tote snake trim in gold, I ask esterlla, but she said reserved for her regular.Now my friend has to contend with the white one stil selling in the boutique.
 
hey, i have never seen the brown 6266 before.. can't remember leh. so r u considering getting another black hobo when the stock gets here? i reckon it will cost around 450? wonder how much it costs in boutiques..

and haha..she so accomodating to our requests for discounts, we are even more tempted to buy lor..

dun mind me asking, u have one boy and one gal.. still got time to come forum chit chat ah? =) and aren't kids kinda dangerous for expensive bags? how old r ur kids?
 
Jules,

not buying hobo, 1 is enough. She's quite a chin chai seller.

My kids are in preschool, so i can chat when they are doing their work. 1 is 5 and the other is 6. They are quite savvy about bags. My little girl pulled me into kate spade on sunday and said mummy this bag is nice. it was some colourful bag costing 400+
 
hiya jules, u may hv missed the brown hobo...cos it was online for a while....i like it too was intending to ask my friend's coll to get fr US...but in the end the coll not coming back SG so cannot buy for us....

a big hobo? i tik it will cost SGD 600 plus...

oo mongmong, r u working or a homemaker? ur girl gonna grow up 2 be a trendy little babe :P

haha wif her accomodating to all u gals offers....most likely we all will be tempted to buy one....cos she also needs her goods to move mah...
 
hehee mongmong, ur little girl sure has expensive tastes huh? just like her mummy =)

yah lor lilacgal, i missed the brown hobo. quite puzzled how that happened cos i always linger around and "monitor" what esterlla has on sale.. and everytime bargain with her, i will say a price and she will say ok lah.. then i will be like sure or not?? and in my glee, buy it promptly. i am such a loser.. =)
 
jules i saw on coach.com lah for very long tis design....auction im not sure cos i only went in ever since u 'shared' the lobang with us :P

heehee u another one who cannot resist temptation when she give in to ur price! i guess when u already set ur mind to buy and the seller comply to ur request...most probably we will end up getting it one....is just human nature :P
 
yah lor.. i told myself can only buy one coach bag every 2-3 months. but i've been buying one new one every month!! it's an expensive indulgence, considering that i just started working not long ago..

gals.. can share how often u buy a new coach bag?? i wanna feel less guilty =P
 
woo 1 coach every quarter? haha nah....my lst coach was 3 yrs back....then i bought some other 'branded' goods in between...i dun really splurge or make it a pt to always buy something new unless it is really something i need and like alot and is a good buy tat i can't resist (of cos for LV cannot expect sale)
happy.gif


my most recent purchase is after i got dfs card 2 mths ago...bought 4 items fr coach...:P

i tik mayb if i got to know abt the coach auction earlier, i would end up hving a few more coach too haha...
 
yeah lor yeah lor.. so cheap.. difficult to resist eh ? luckily so far i only like coach, and not other more expensive brands. the new gucci scarf bag is really quite pretty.. but way too ex. and although it's relatively new, i already spotted pp carrying fake gucci scarf bags around!!
 
Jules
My little girl is a big vainpot! I bought the hobo, she was parading the bag in front of my hubby and my hubby ask isn't that new? I told him that he has STM like nemo, that I got it at last year sale. Phew!

the large hobo she gave an indicative price of $450 which I thought was reasonable.Anyway, fly to US also around that price.

I bought 6 bags this month ( from her and from the shops)....haha....I am planning to get a cole hann bag, just checking on colours.

Lilacgal,

I am working for my hubby..haha...I think most importantly, a seller must be accomodating, but of course within her means.... No point she hold to the bag. She should be in sales and not what her current job.

I know as I am doing sales for my hubby.
 
harlo..
din realise there a thread on Coach bags
yeah.. i am die hard fans of Coach.
so happy that is next best selling bags after LV.

btw.. wanna check, if i wanna sell a coach bag which i bot during the sale (i bot on impulse) and is not selling in store now,
do i sell abit higher then the price i bot? i i hv sell at a loss.. pls advice
 
don't think Coach has a high resale value.. i did some asking around for my bag (retailed in store above $2K).. doubt it can even fetch 1K.
 
twish you sure?? my goodness... you ask from 2nd hand shop ah?

actually i think other than LV, all otehr brands the resale value is very low... but to think of it... once you use the bag for some time, by the time you don't like it wanna sell also out of season already... newer and better designs are out liao...

gonna go to the boutique to see the new arrivals end of this month...
 
cecilia: yup.. at least that's based on a second-hand shop in raffles place. seems like only LV or Gucci has some resale value.
 
notice tat these 2nd hand shops mostly carry the bigger names...LV, CD, Prada, Gucci....u will seldom see Coach cos i think theres no 2nd hand market for them...imagine if your new Coach is already quite affordable, why would u buy a used one?
 
Hi ladies,

Have you ever come across Coach items that come in white dustbag? (items such as cosmetic pouch and wrislet)
 
gucci also super no value, i sold my 1.5K tote for 250 only, not 200! sob sob sob!

Only LV has value, that's why I try not to buy Coach from boutique, sell also not so heart pain!

bubu, yes, those from factory outlets come in white dustbag. my friend got a keychain from esterlla
 
hi mindy, is your bag still new or used already? u can check out existing auction in yahoo for some reference...

but i would expect a lower price than the boutique lor if im buying online...
 
sure bubu, tat time I didn't chance upon singapore brides. I only came about this forum when I am in the mummy forum. Next time, let you know. Mine is the big signature tote.comes with receipt, still only $250. I sold a Coach tote, also $250, might as well I buy Coach. The Coach tote is $800 with receipt from boutique.
 
lilacgal,

I itchy backside lor, that time clearing out my bags during chinese new year, my hubby was complaining I need 2 cupboard for my bags, so i went with my SIL to sell my bags to this place at orchard ( opp thai embassy)
 
cecilia, i sold it to a 2nd shop..sob sob sob, think i might get it higher at yahoo. it's can be a diaper tote.

Oh, I forgot to say that subsequently,i went into the shop to check on my tote. She was selling my gucci tote for $600 ( but can bargain down) and my coach tote for $500. ArghhhH!!

So don't ever sell to 2nd hand shop again!
 
yup.. at the kinda price they offer, i rather let someone in forum 'tan tio' than the shop lor. was in raffles place meeting gf for lunch since i was on leave.. so jalan and ask around. seriously, most are LV and gucci.. some prada. a few coach too.
 
Hi ladies,

I was curious and checked with Coach online customer service about their merchandise at their factory stores. Part of her reply was that Coach factory stores carry factory overruns, discontinued styles and discontinued colors and merchandise that has slight imperfections. It is often difficult for the untrained eye to determine the quality standard difference.
 
Ladies..
i heard from some of DFS staff that Coach is discontinuing the 'small C' classic signature bags leh.. duno how true issit.
make me panic.. almost wanna buy some bags to keep. keke

I prefer their 'small C' than their 'Big C' .. dunno if you know wat i am refering to
