This is not a typical Coach bag and it is not a bad thing at all. Gone is the signature CC pattern which has become tired after a while, replaced by soft leather in palatable color such as this shade of pink. Do not get me wrong, I have always been a fan of Coach and realize that they have improved even further with its new models over the past few months (man…they launch new models almost every month- talking about overwhelming the market) but having a model so different from their previous or current ones for Resort 2009 is a much needed breathe of fresh air for the brand. The only thing that might have given this bag away as Coach is the gusset on both the side pockets of the bag. Other than that, this looks more  like an edgy new designer handbag. I expect to see this bag in the good book of many stylish people. Get from your nearest Coach store or coach.com for USD598.
