If you are like me, you often wonder how designers come up with their design names. What were they doing when the "name" popped into their head. I wonder if the one of the designers at Coach were "spectators" at their child's ball game and realized that they didn't have enough pockets in their handbag for all the stuff parents lug to their kids' games, ie., camera, sun block, snacks, sun glasses, the baby's pacifier.
Well, if you happen to be a busy person who finds that their normal everyday Coach bag just doesn't have enough pockets and room for these type outings, the Coach Penelope Spectator Leather Shopper is perfect for you. Let's take a look at a why I say this. (more...)
The wintertime blues always hits me about this time every year, and so I was so excited to see the new colors that Coach is bringing out in their new spring line to help brighten my mood. One of my favorite this 2009 spring season is the Coach Penelope Leather Shopper. Lilac is my favorite color, and when I saw this beautiful Coach bag bathed in my favorite color, I screamed with excitement. Silly, huh? But, I couldn't help myself.
I must admit that I don't usually like the "shopper" styles in handbags, but something about this one really appeals to me. Aside from it coming in my favorite color, I really like the slight, seamless leather ruffle at the top of the bag. I think this takes the "old lady" feel away and replaces it with a youthful, flirty touch.
Along with its youthful flare is the youthful 18" belt loop and hole straps and flirty patent leather trim. Inside it holds a center divider, zip pocket along with cellphone or multifunction pocket, and matching lining.
I can only find one thing that I don't like about this bag, and that is the fact that its an open-top bag, which I think is completely useless. Now, Coach did recognize that this wouldn't go over well with the majority of the Coach loving community, and they did incorporate interior magnetic snaps which is better than nothing. I really wish they would have included a zip-top closure, but the magnets should work fine. These bags can be found at Coach.com for $398 or below on eBay. (more...)
I have one word for this Coach handbag....Yummy! I think the Coach Penelope Leather Shopper is sure to be a big hit for them this season with its sensible design and soft colors in black, cobalt, coral, white, and lilac which is my all-time favorite color.
A lot of Shopper designs have the "old lady" feel to them, but I can see myself carrying this and not feel like I'm showing my age...LOL. It definitely has the youthful 18" belt loop and hole straps and flirty patent leather trim. Inside it holds a center divider and zip pocket along with cellphone or multifunction pocket.
The only downfall with this bag is it is open top, but Coach did realize the dysfunction in that and incorporated interior magnetic snaps. I can appreciate this, and I think the snaps will work wonderfully. Coach Handbags available at Nordstrom. (more...)
