lincolndog Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 My college age daughter told me last night she would like a coach bag for her birthday. I agreed not knowing what I was agreeing with. MY FAULT. I almost fainted when I looked them up on the internet. Does anyone know where you can buy these at a greatly discounted price? Do not need until Dec.but thought I would go ahead and get it. Having birthdays by the holidays stink on budgets!!!!! Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelic680 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I dont know where you live but try the Coach Outlet Stores you can get a great deal now! Also try Macys they go on sale alot!

lincolndog Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 Thanks, unfortunate to us but grateful due to love of shopping we live about 3 1/2 hours to the largest town. When we do go into the city it would be St.Louis. Around us is farm stores and Walmart. Not what I call thrilling!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even sometimes TJmaxx, & Marshalls. I'll keep an eye out Start searching now for upscale consignement shops either online or near you. Some women only use them for a bit and take them in. You wouldnt even know it had been used...then you have extra cash to stuff in the purse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryan67 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 the coach outlet in Wisconsin Dells had some GREAT deals last weekend... if you sign up for their mailing list, you'll get coupons in the mail as well also, check ebay, but be CAREFUL...LOTS of fakes out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilgetumipretty Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I would definitely try the outlet mall route. The outlet mall itself may have a website, if so sign up for their mailing list (the one nearest me calls it their "VIP Club"). I have been able to get purses 3 times now when they were having 50% off of the clearance price and it seems as if these sales coincided with a special sale/weekend the outlet was having (mothers day, sidewalk sale weekend, etc.). Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pianoman Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 My wife researched your question.... Craiglist- search New York orhttp://www.kioioi.com/products.asp?id=n293- $35 w/free shipping. May want to check if site is legit. Please post your finds. We have many Coach requests ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We drove there from the St Louis area last weekend.There is a Coach outlet in the outlet mall there and they had Coach bags for 40% off. They carry a large collection of purses/bags/wallets, etc. The other thing you might do is watch this deal finder forum for a coupon. A few times a year Coach mails out coupons to their customers. Sometimes people are willing to give/trade these to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexusrydr Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 if you make it to a mall, when Dillard's has an extra % off clearance (usually 30% but sometimes 40%), it includes Coach purses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeddiva Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Unless you're buying it from Coach or an authorized outlet like Macy's or Dillards, it's probably a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaInNC Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I'd go back to her and ask her if she wants a Coach purse or next semester's tuition. Maybe she didn't know how much they were? DD did that last Christmas - said she wanted Uggs .. went online and saw how much they were - she about died. She was sweet about it and let me get her that style of shoe, just not as expensive.

A COACH bag for $30?? The wristlets start @ $48.00... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaInNC Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I'm gonna second that. A COACH bag for $30?? The wristlets start @ $48.00... yeah - a $30 Coach bag from NYC is a knockoff. But I've bought some really good knockoffs in NYC and no one can tell the difference. But they were for me - they weren't a gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoopawnKode Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 The factory stores aren't too bad on prices (Seriously..my wife got a decent purse for $40) plus there's a 20% coupon out now HERE enter your info and they'll send you a 20% coupon almost immediately.

momlori Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Coach purses are widely faked on the internet. The fakes support child labor, terrorism, etc so I am totally against them. Others do not care and are ok with buying these. As previously mentioned your best bet is a Coach outlet store. During season changes you can find them on clearance at Macy's. If nothing else, maybe someone closer to an outlet would go for you and pick up a bag and send it to you. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freesia39 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 this is a coach website they arent too badhttp://www.i-coachhandbags.com/category-16-b0-New+Arrival.html this is the one i would gethttp://www.i-coachhandbags.com/gallery.php?id=1842Those aren't real. It ships from another country and the prices are not anywhere close to real. The model numbers aren't close, plus it doesn't name the bag. They probably know people at the Coach factory in China, take the material/patterns, and just splash them on other bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpeDiem Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I got a ton @ the outlet stores and also at the military exchanges I need to go through and get rid of some of the ones i have left and didnt sell, I bought WAY too many when I was reselling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rnstrange Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I went to the Coach outlet in Branson and bought 2 small purses for $100! They were having 60% off everything.

JohnnyLaRue Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Go to the outlet store or the salvation army type of shops. Ok depending where you live but the ones in my area and Beverly Hills you can find some good deals there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc1824 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 One of the reasons they cost so much is because if the purse rips or the sewing comes paprt you can take it back to the outlet or the coach store and they will send it out for repair, if coach can't repair it to their standards they will send you a certificate for the cost of the purse. I bought mine on clearance at coach outlet store and I got more money in the certificate, the reason I returned it was cuase my dog chewed the handle so the stitching was coming out. I made out on that deal and got a new purse oh yeah a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proceeds benefit the UCLA hospital I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cberrytech Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I highly recommend the Coach outlet in Branson. I have bought several bags there, and they are always first quality at very good prices. They are usually marked down a considerable amount, then an additional % off that, usually 40%. I love that place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
