My first Coach love was a brown and tan woven wool signature logo mini tote (shown in an advertisement with the matching kitty heels). Unforgettable in my mind… I never found the kitty heels but I was fortunate enough to find the mini tote. I guess from 2001 to 2006, I was pretty much obsessed with Coach, making almost monthly visits to their Soho store, if not more frequent… Afterwards I was nuts over their denim logo line, particularly with their flap bags. I have never forgotten about that collection and still think of it even today. I’m still beating myself up for not snagging one of their denim bags sooner (I went back after some deliberation and the bag was snatched up by another buyer). So today, while I was procrastinating over more important obligations, I decided to take a gander at the Coach website… and I found the TDF Poppy Embossed Exotic XL Spotlight Tote. The price tag was a bit of a shocker but it’s definitely lust! Here is Coach’s take on their lovely Poppy:
“An exceptional Poppy bag in delicately textured, lightweight leather with golden metallic accents, intricate strap detailing and fun hangtags.
