Okay, so.. There's a new collection of purses and such from Coach. I like most of it but some of it is just a bit too bright and crazy for me. I think they're trying to advertize more for teens in this collection and a lot of people aren't reacting to it well. I think it's been about half and half who likes it and who doesn't.
There's a few (well, a bunch) that I like in this collection. I've always liked coach though. I like this one on the right a lot because the colors aren't too bright and they look softer than some of the other purses in this collection. The black version if this is wonderful too. I wouldn't get it though most likely (if I even had the money to) because it's a bit too big for me.
I like smaller purses like these next two. I just love this one because it's just the right size and the design is adorable, it's not too plain either. I like some sparkles or pizazz to my purses.
Thereis a silver and a gold version of this one, the silver one is really cute too. The gold one I don't really like because I never liked gold on purses that much and It just doesn't look that great on this style. I have seen some gold purses that weren't half bad though.
There's another small one that I like that has the coach print Cs on them that comes in a white-ish silver color and black. I like both of them but am still partial to black.
The next one I like has the coach print but it's a little bit different, it has the Poppy print coming across it - kind of like graffiti. It comes in one color, tan/brown but it doesn't look bad with the color from the graffiti and the pink lining. I would love it if it came in black but that's okay, it's still a pretty purse none the less. There is also a bigger version of it but I don't like it as much as the small one. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the gold sparkles on the underside of the handle, it looks out of place to me.
This next bag they actually called it a "graffiti" bag. I really don't like and I don't know how anyone else could like it. I hate the colors, it's zigzag stipes and they are like a light blue kind teal color and then there are different colored Coach "graffitis" on the purse. It just doesn't work. I don't think I'd like it even if the colors were different. I bet some 8 or 9 year old would like it because they don't quite know what stylish is yet.
The next one is the full poppy print for the collection. I like it a lot actually. It's not super bright but still colorful. All of the colors in it work together well. Again, there is a big version and a small version, they're both pretty much the same just a different size. I'd get the smaller one just because I don't have a ton of stuff I need to have in my purse. I do think coach is trying to get a younger audience into their purses because they didn't usually have such colorful bags, usually they are just monotone bags.
That's all the ones I wanted to mention, there's a bunch of other purses that are okay. There's a clutch bag that they have in this collection that I like. It's silver and it's full of sequins, I like it though. Clutchs can be more sparkley that regular handbags because they're usually used just for parties and get togethers to carry just what you need and not lug around the big purse. There's a poppy print clutch/wristlet bag that is really cute too and I think there is a wallet too.
There is also a cute keychain that is in the shape of a heart that has the print on it. One of them is $48 and the other is $30. I don't really understand who wants to spend that much on a little keychain. I don't really understand how people want to waste 100+ dollars on a purse when you use that for something more useful, not that I'm not saying a purse isn't useful but I think your money could go to better use. I guess if your rich, you can do whatever you want to but I'm not so I can't spend that kind of money.
In Coach Japan, they made a 'cute' video that was made for the new collection. They named the character "Coach Poppy-chan", I think it is a bit tacky, but it is Japan, I'm pretty sure they think a lot differently then we do. Here's the video for it:
Remind you of Powepuff Girls much? I know Coach is trying to start something new but I don't think this is it. I think this is a bit too kiddy to me. From comments on facebook it was probably half and half again on who liked it and who didn't. Many of them were saying it doesn't support their image as a high fashion designer store, I agree. This looks like it could be set for 8-12 year olds, maybe 13 year olds. It's still cute, just never what I expected Coach to come up with. I would've never known this was Coach besides the fact that it says Coach Poppy in the beginning. I would not call this anime at all though, it just looks like a cartoon.
The shoes they have in this collection are okay but most of them I don't personally like all that well. I do like the pumps they have. They come in blue or black and the toe is sparkley. The only thing I don't like is on the black one, the toe is still sparkley blue. I think it should be black sparkles or grey sparkles. I don't know if I like the strap on the front of the ankle either. They have ballet flats too but I don't like the sequins on the front on the toe, it doesn't work with the pattern and there's just ones with only sequins, it's kind of tacky looking to me.
I do LOVE the next ones, they are wedges and they have an peeptoe. They come in black or tan and they are so cute! They have the coach print on them and there is a bow on the front with four, what I think are gold buttons. They also have ballet flats that look similar to that except the buttons are silver and there's no coach print on them and they come in black and a lighter tan.
There's one other shoe I find very interesting. They're high tops with the top part folded down and the poppy print on the fold or an white ocelot/leopard print. I don't know if I'd wear them myself or if I'd look good in them but i bet they'd look good on some people. They are pretty none the less even if I don't want to wear them.
The other shoes consist of a couple rainboots, regular high tops, a couple other ballet flats, sneakers and a pair of clogs.
They also have many other things, ties, belts, t-shirts, hankercheifs, hair ties, jewelry, a hat, and a jacket. I don't really like anything in the jewelry except for this one bracelet; it has a bunch of buttons on it, most of them are gold but there are a few silver ones, it's pretty cute. The other jewelty just looks really kiddy and kind of plastic looking.
The t-shirts just have the Poppy Coach print on them, I don't think it's worth 78 dollars. I like the hair ties, all of them actually. My favorite is a floral with the Coach Cs on the other side. The hat that they made is so adorable, it's like the purse I explained earlier that's tan and has the Poppy print on it. The jacket is pretty cute, I have to say. I don't really know if I like the fabric on the outside though. The pockets and buttons are really cute too. The ocelot print hankercheif is cute and the Poppy Label bandana is okay. I like both the chain belts, the black one more and the skinny metallic belts are cute, I like the black one best because I don't really like pink in metallic or gold. The ties are cute but I don't see any guy wearing a coach tie or the prints they have on the ties. The pink one with the stripes, maybe.
Overall I like this collection, it all fits together well.
What about your thoughts? (if anyone even comments on this).
