At the time of writing this, Coach handbags or purses are so popular these days, it's mind-boggling. People everywhere whined about "hard times of recessions," yet some of the same folks are also waiting in a long line at the mall to get the new $300-$500 Coach purse. (Perhaps ten or twenty years from today, $300 may not mean much, due to inflation, but for comparison, today's minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. The cost of one of these "luxury purse" is about one week pay. $300 can feed a family of four for a month).
These handbags are made in China. There is really nothing special about it other than status symbol. These people want others to envy their status.
Please for your own sake, and so that you won't make your grandparents roll in their graves, ask yourself about 1,024 times when standing in front of one of these stores: "What's the Purpose of Me Buying That?" If your purpose is a status symbol, to make others jealous, to be liked by other Coach fans, know that we still have that special wooden paddle hidden somewhere in the house. You may be a grown up, but you are still our baby, and we love you :). The good news is we know that you know better.
