It's pink. It's boxy. It's got lots of pockets and compartments. It's big enough to fit all my stuff, including my laptop (and I know this thanks to Coach's fab 'Try this bag on' feature, where I can select my teeny height and see how big the bag would look as carried by me).
Plus, at $798, it's (relatively) inexpensive for a quality designer bag. (And if you don't like the pink, there are a bunch of other, equally lovely, colours *and* it's also available in suede and patent.)

As we increasingly turn towards online shopping to satisfy our retail appetites, it's becoming more and more rare to have an enjoyable in-store experience, don't you think? All that fighting through the crowds stuff. And the even worse 'not in stock' scenario. Not to mention actually having to deal face-to-face with people (urgh) and this is made more frustrating if it's incompetent sales staff you're dealing with.
No wonder we like to curl up in front of the computer monitor in our dressing gown with a bag of Galaxy Minstrels chocolate and be left to shop to our heart's content (or is that just me?)

I love the shape of Coach's 'Francine', although the Coach site describes it as "unique" and it's hardly that, and I love the colour of this one. It's also available in teal and in white and it's not as striking in either. In fact, it looks a little bit cheap, in my opinion.
I'm also not entirely sure about the detachable shoulder straps - useful, but again, a bit cheap-looking. That said, it costs $798, so as 'It' bags go, it's a bargain.

We mentioned a few weeks ago Kate Bosworth would be the face of luxury bag brand Coach's Spring/Summer 2008 campaign - and now the first image is out!
It features Kate dressed in neutral tones and posing with a patchwork bag from the new line.
I'm digging the shape of the bag, but would prefer it in all one colour. What do you think of the image - and the bag too, of course?


Always struggling to find coins and keys in the bottom of your handbag? Yes, me too. Struggle no more, though - this cute little key fob has a purse attached to it, so you can keep everything in one place: and, small though it is, if you attach it to the strap of your handbag, or one of the inner pouches, there'll be no more rummaging to content with, either! It's $68 at Coach, who can always be relied on to provide us with a cute key fob or three!

I've never been much of a one to resist cute little cartoon animals, and I'm not really into resisting accessories either, if the truth be told. These Coach key fobs combine two of my favourite things, then - the aforementioned animals and affordable designer accessories. They're $38 each, which means that if you can't afford a Coach handbag, at least you know you can afford a Coach handbag accessory, and there are lots of designs to choose from, including the lion, toucan and slightly worried-looking frog pictured.
