I love the Coach 'Scribble' collection

[viola324]

It is *so* me! I love the colors--I don't have a cute spring/summer bag. The few bags I have are either black or brown. I really like this one in particular; it's the right size for me. I've been looking for a new purse, especially a high-end one (I've never had one that cost more than like $40). This one is $300, and it's just screaming my name. Should I buy it? How can I justify it? Or are there really nice replicas online? http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

<span class="ev_code_PURPLE">That is really cute!! And you are right, it'll be perfect for summer. If you can afford it, do get it! http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif</span>

I agree, if you can afford it then go for it. Everyone deserves to treat themselves once in a while.

hey viola, i have a friend that owns a boutique here and i think last time i went i saw some replicas of this collection but i'm not sure if i saw this exact model but she has really nice replicas. pm me and i might can help you out and get you something for cheaper...if she still has any, $300 IS alot of $!!! http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif.

That is absolutely adorable! And I can find MANY ways to justify a purchase LOL http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif!

But seriously -- as long as it doesn't spend the last dollar in your wallet, and as long as your purchase doesn't take away from any NECESSITY, then go ahead and feel good with your purchase http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif!

The only thing I'd throw out for consideration is this: it looks as though a good portion of the bag is plastic/vinyl (could be wrong?) ... Coach is Coach, but for $300, I want absolutely NO plastic in or on my bag ... know what I mean? I'm all about the material http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif.

That said, I go back to my original statement -- it IS an adorable bag LOL!

Let us know what you decide to do! http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

You're right, it is mostly made of PVC. That's probably why it costs so much less than regular, 100% leather Coach bags.

Thank you everyone for the replies. I will have to think about this for a few more days, even though my heart is set on it. I can just imagine my mother giving me a hard time for buying a Coach purse--unless I lie and tell her it's a fake... http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_redface.gif

I saw those in Allure I think, so cute! I want one-but my mom would kill me. http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I saw this collection a month or two ago at nordstroms when it first came out, and fell in love as well. I saved up some extra cash for a while, but was nowhere close to having enough. I decided I just had to have one NOW, so I checked out ebay. I got a brand new medium "scribble" tote for $125 in the mail last week. I LOVE IT! I say definitely do some browsing before shelling out the $300...good luck!

I just bought the med/ large tote (it looks like the Hamptons style bag) version of this bag with the same print for $180. It's really cute too, maybe you should take a look at that one, it's a bit easier on the wallet. But hey, if not, that one certainly is hot! Good luck deciding, and if you want i'll try to dig up a picture of my bag for you!
