should i buy the purse ? or not..?


Question Posted Monday December 25 2006, 12:04 pm

Today for Christmas, I got $110 and I already had $80, so now I have $190. Well I was thinking of buying this Coach purse for myself: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) in the brass/khaki/camel color and I was wondering if its a waste of money for $138? Anyone who has it please tell me if it is worth buying and if it has good quality. Please dont say ask my parents to buy it for me or ask anyone else to buy it for me because they sure bought a lot of expensive things for me for Christmas. Thanks!

~Merry Christmas!

It's a really cute purse & all, and it will probably stay in style because I've seen this purse around for awhile now, but personally I think that it's not worth it. I mean $138 is a pretty good deal considering its not a changepurse .. but if you only have $190 and you're gonna blow a majority of it on a purse, I don't really think it's worth it. If you don't really care about it being 'genuine', but looking real, if you go to a purse party, they have usually really cute knockoffs that look almost real, for around $60, or maybe even cheaper. But yea, personally I wouldn't blow most of my money on one purse, I'd rather buy other cheaper things like jeans or shirt. But it's only my opinion. Hope I helped ! <3

hey, i have that exact same purse in the same color your looking into getting. i got it two years ago when it first came out. i used it for about a year. for coach, 138$ is pretty cheap. coach purses can go up to way higher prices like 800$-1000$. its a pretty good size inside. it holds just about what you need in there.

Well Coach purses go for up to $800 dollars and its a huge status symbol. $138 is a pretty good deal considering that the purse has the signature print and isn't the size of your toenail.
I'd buy it but if you aren't into designers then there isn't much of a point in getting it.
If you're trying to impress your friends, its a good buy if they've only heard and seen Coach purses but don't own any. IF they already own designer purses, a $138 Coach purse looks cheap compared to their bigger Coach, Gucci or Louis Vuitton purses. It all depends on who you hang around if thats why you want it.
If you want to buy it quality-wise, Coach purses always have a quality guarantee and on regular use should last at least a season and with occasional use, a few years. If your purse falls apart in a month, go back and complain. It's probably a defect.

Well, personally, I think it's a waste of money. I saw a purse that looked like that for about 8 dollars at Joyce Leslie. I wouldn't even know the difference if I saw someone with either of them. because not everyone is that into purses.

Although, if you really want it, go for it. There are MUCH better things you can buy with that money than one purse though.

Allow me to steal an answer here typically saved for other questions--if you're questioning whether or not you should do it, you shouldn't.

$138 is a lot of money and if you want to spend it all on one thing, you should KNOW that's what you want to do with it. If you're unsure, then I bet you'll always regret your decision. I've never really liked anything I debated against buying at the time; it just makes me think of what other things I could have spent the money on.

But if after all these people telling you not to buy it, you feel strongly that you want it, well, that should tell you something too.

Good luck with your decision.

I don't have that purse. But I can tell you that 138 bucks is way too ex for a coach purse. I would save it up first and think carefully if I really need to spend it right now.

Buy things that you really need and within a reasonable price.

Well, it depends. If you're the type of person who will use that purse for at least a year and not worry about it being "out", buy it. I have a black coach purse that I love, it's held up and it goes with everything.
If you have a lot of purses or you won't use it every day, don't buy it because that's a lot of money.

I have a purse fetish, but even I wouldn't pay that much money for a purse. Your money can be contributed to better things than a purse. If you really want it, you could possibly try and get a imitation bag? That would probably be a lot cheaper, plus if you look around good enough, you can probably find a cheap one thats exactly like it and save yourself a wad of money. Merry Christmas! Hope I helped =]

Hey. =]

I have that purse in black.
Of course it's good quality, I've had it for about 8 months now, and I've used it pretty much everyday of my life, & it's still awesome. =]

The only reason I don't like it is because it's not big in the slightest and it's hard to fit my camera, phone, & wallet in there. Also, everyone has it, so it's like not original and most people won't compliment it just because it's been out for a really long time, and it's not that big of a trend anymore.

I think it's a waste of money, personally. My ex boyfriend got it for me. So, of course it wasn't a waste of my money, but I wouldn't ever spend more then $20 on a purse. Just think of everything else you could buy rather then that small purse. =]
