About this bag?

I really like this Coach one but don't want to spend that much money.  I'm on a straw bag kick right now and with summer right around the corner I could use a cute summer bag.

First bag is cute but boy do I looove the Coach one! Coach often has 20% off coupons.....although I totally get not wanting to spend a couple hundred on a bag, it's tough to drop that much when you could get a lot of other stuff with that same amount of $$

Personally, I like the one from DSW better, but I'm not big on the embellishments like the flower on the Coach one.  If I'm going to spend $$ on a bag, I prefer it to be more of a classic style that I can carry for many years. 

Cute idea, though!  I love straw bags for summer.

Im not a straw bag fan, the Coach one is cuter though probably becuase of all the extra stuff on it.

This is what I was going to say.

I think if you already have a bag- that isn't broken and is still useable- then why waste money on another one??? But if you MUST buy a bag-- make sure you still have dollar bills to put IN your bag........

 

ugh!! I'm such a biotch b/c I don't get the whole obsession with bags and shoes....... (

I like both of them. I'd get the DSW one though if you don't feel like spending a ton of money. I've been looking for a cheap, simple, colorful bag for the summer and finally caved and bought one at Kohls.

I wanted to look in the Coach outlet but I don't know the next time we're going nearby and I'm impatient.

If I'm going to spend a lot on a bag, it's got to be good quality leather that I know I'll still be using five years from now. For straw, I'd do the DSW bag.

I'd never ever spend on shoes or bags what some of my friends do, but if they want to and are able to, why not? No skin off my back.

I'll check out Kohls this weekend.  I might just end up buying the one from DSW.  I agree about all of the embellishment on the Coach one, a little is cute but that one had way too much going on.  I really liked the style of the purse.

I do like the shape of the Coach bag better, but I think I personally would get sick of the embellishments and that they date the bag so you won't use it season after season.  However, as Stephanie pointed out, you probably won't be able to get a ton of wear out of a straw bag, anyway, so all the more reason to get something cheaper.

I don't see a problem with people wanting more than one bag or one pair of shoes, particularly if the quality and style allow them to be worn for years.  To each her own, but I like mixing it up and having bags/shoes that coordinate with my outfits.  I certainly don't judge someone for not feeling that way, though.
