Coach Carly Indigo

Let me introduce you to Carly. This girl is livin’ large! She is thin and trim. Dare I say she is bitchin’! Didn’t you know that the first handbag designed for Coach was prompted by a brown paper shopping bag? Since 1962 the inspiration for Coach’s handbags, purses and totes has not changed much.

It seems now more then ever, we thrive on functionality as well as practicality from a purse that is erroneous enough for us to carefully conceal away what we cannot leave behind. Besides the average everyday necessities such as a cell phone, wallet and keys, there are some things that we need at times but don’t want to disclose, or want to keep concealed. So what does a girl want but not want to show?

She secretly craves Mr. Handsome but doesn’t want to reveal to him that she has already invited herself to spend the weekend cozy in bed with Mr. Handsome. I mean you could have an overnight bag already waiting in your car just in case. Then when he asks you to stay with him for the evening, you run out to your car to fetch your bag but that is just tacky isn’t it? Sort of ruins the moment don’t you know?

Carly isn’t like that! She can keep a secret about the necessities and unmentionables that are hidden in a woman’s purse so Mr. Handsome doesn’t think you are trying to move in. The Large Carly Leather Signature purse, tote or handbag zips tight to keep a woman’s enigma mysterious.

Can you imagine yourself on a date with Mr. Handsome using a tote that doesn’t zip and accidentally exposing your smutty intentions? Oops, your bag tips over and there it is for the world to see, exposing your nasty little secrets Don’t be cheap, be discrete or you will send Mr. Handsome running to Mr. Guys-guy all because you didn’t want to spend a little extra money on a Coach. We don’t always know what life will bring so being prepared is being practical without being like Allison Reynolds (Ally Sheedy) from The Breakfast Club.

Seriously, there are two ways to mess around. They are called cleaning up the mess around the restaurant floor after spilling the intimate things from your bag, or there is cleaning up the mess around the bedroom floor after messing around with Mr. Handsome all weekend. I don’t know about you but I would much rather mess around with Mr. Handsome.

Although having a handbag that serves a greater target, the Carly Signature Large by Coach comes in a multiplicity of diverse patchwork. My personal favorites are the traditional Large Coach Carly Authentic Khaki/Black Purse, and the Time honored Denim Carly’s with patent trim because of its lightweight and durable signature material with crinkle patent leather trim and size.

The Carly Coach is made with Coach’s patent leather or canvas fabrics in the traditional colors, black and brown but she also comes in an array of diverse patchworks or canvas colors. From summer pinks, whites and blues to holiday oranges, browns, and reds as well as classic favorites.

Carly is more than a lady, she is a Coach!

Coach Soho Mini Signature Collection

Soho - district in Manhattan noted for its old warehouses converted into restaurants, galleries and theaters.

To name a Coach line Soho is brilliant. It is like the fine wine of handbags or accessories resuscitated in a way that only Coach could produce. These majestic and renowned mini bags and accessories are perfect choice for taking to the gallery, theater or fine restaurant.

Soho’s are the mark of a woman’s delicate cordial spunk. That is why the black Soho is so special. This line is the best of the best. As in vintage, it comes from the finest line Coach produces. It is the best of the past honoring the current furors. It exemplifies the grades of past skill and designs unified with the systems of today.

Soho’s are charming for any occasion. I use my multicolored Signature Soho with brushed silver trim regularly because it fits well with nearly all things in my clothes chest. I certainly praise this bag. I use it for just about any occasion from hanging out with my friends to smashing it around when I am feeling a little less than nice. You should think about purchasing a Soho.

Let’s discuss the quality of this bag. The signature Soho is so outlandishly dependable that it can withstand my child’s disastrous little hands. This bag did not become renowned because it was engineered with inadequate materials put together inattentively. It is classic because of the time and effort and vintage hobo design that are certified to outlast any trend, style or fad.

The Soho that I have has a flip top and is a little more cosmopolitan than the zip top style. Still the design with the zipper top, made with tweed expressly in brown, black or blue, is more compelling because it really echoes the symbolic styles of early Hollywood traditions. Not to mention the tether on my particular Soho is little enough to be held cozily in your hand without looking deranged.

Obviously 80’s fashions were not all that sensational. Overly bright colors such as bright orange were only interesting because they coincided with the social trends to digress from the standard way of life and journey into our personalities. The Baby Boom era reconditioned the economy by making goods faster and cheaper. However Coach accepts history repeats itself so they put a fabulous twist on the historical style making blue Soho’s in tweed. Tweed was originally called twill because it was made of unfinished woolen fabric woven into a twill pattern instead of a ordinary one.

In past eras tweed was optimal because of its moisture resistance and endurance but soon was superannuated because the assembly and price could not keep up with the worlds growing demands and industry boom. So they moved to more cost effective materials. Fortunately for us Coach knows that quality is better than quantity and tweed as well as their other Signature materials will continue to last. Have you ever noticed that a couch, not to be confused with Coach, made with tweed have outworn the years longer than the cheap cost effective ones. This is what sets the Coach apart from the rest.

Coach’s are priced a little higher but you can feel secure knowing it will last. Whatever your rage happens to be: red, black, brown, orange, green, multi colored, small, large, mini purses, or wallets, Coach has a Soho to suit your individuality. You can be sure that the Soho line and hobo design will continue to triumph the accessory world making the traditions of today the icons of our future..

The Soho reminds me of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Audrey Hepburn is the image of vintage style. She is the best of of forgone fads and distinguished not just by charisma but by beauty and influence, a vision that will endure forever. Like Coach’s Soho, it is a representation of early fads that became a legend not just by craft but by the image and grace they bring to any woman. So a purse won’t make you look famous but it can make you feel like one.
