Coach @ the Smithfield Outlets

The first time I walked into this store I felt a little intimidated and thougt it would be extremely out of my range.

The past few times I've been their I didn't buy a thing and the prices have always been okay and the sevice has been cery acceptional.

BUT I was in their THIS MORNING AND COULDN'T BELEIVE MY EYES !!!!!!!!

THEY ARE HAVING A SUPER CRAZY SALE.

I am super happy with visit to that store today and will probably go back 2night it was really that good!!!!

 

I love the Coach store! I got a great purse a few weeks ago for spring/summer. It was orig. msrp $349, and I got it for $100 after the final 50% off. :hurray:

 

gosh, I sure wish I hadn't clicked on this thread....that's where me and some gals are headed on Saturday......uh oh.8)

 

<----has a story about a trip to the Coach store.


:jester:

There is no way in h#ll I would pay $100 for a purse. Have y'all bumped your heads? That's just crazyyyyyy.

I also wouldn't pay $47 for a pair of FLIP FLOPS either.

 

OOh... they are carrying sunglasses at the Coach store now too, did they have any of those left out on the table infront of the registers??

They were $99, and 20% off.... I almost bought a pair, but I didn't. Yet. :mrgreen:

 

Some would say I'm spoiled , but I really only splurge on something like that for myself when I get my bonus check or gift money.

 

OFF TOPIC - DeWaynes had Rainbows that they wanted $80 for, because they were rhinestone studded along the thong. Now, that I wouldn't pay for. I don't even think Rainbows are comfie enough to want to pay $40 for, Crocs flip-flops and sandals are much more comfie. And I do feel like I get more than enough wear out of them for $35.

I now return you to the Coach discussion :jester:

 

Or your hubby buys them for you.

Yes.. there is that trip you made to the Coach store! LOL
My DH does very well to afford me :mrgreen:

 

Me either. I might have paid 10 -20 bucks for my purse at Marshalls years ago. Flip Flops, I go to Rack Room - maybe 15 bucks.

 

Flip flops = Dollar General for $3.

I would be afraid to carry a purse that cost that much! I might get robbed.

Sunglasses = Dollar General for $3 because I lose them all the time.

 

Yeah, I bought a Coach a few years ago (I thought I HAD to have one!) the very first time I used it, I got ink on it. I was SICK!! Right across the front, couldn't be removed. Never again. Although I would LOVe one of these:

I just use an old grocery sack now. I have a purse for each day of the week!

Lowes - Monday
Food Lion - Tuesday
Family Dollar - Wednesday
Walmart - Thursday
CVS - Friday
Dollar General - Saturday
Thank You For Shopping - Sunday

 

I don't mind paying a little bit for quality, but you're not paying for quality, you're paying for a name, and I find that to be crazy!

My daughter has a pink Coach (knockoff) that I found at a yardsale for $5, a gray Gucci (knockoff) that I found at Goodwill for $3 and a brown Prada (knockoff) that I picked up at a yard sale for $2.

Good enough for me!

 

I need to follow you around at yard sales! :lol: I can't EVER find that kind of stuff.:x

 

Mine have lasted very well, they are rotated seasonally. I don't pick the ultra-trendy colors or styles. I pick ones that will be useful for a few years. I've never had inside linings unstitch and lost small items to the area under the purse lining, never had straps crack. They don't get dirty, I am careful where I set them down at. I don't have kids, so there is no grubby little fingers hanging and tugging on them. I guess its just to each his own and their lifestyle.

I don't mind paying $100 for a purse that will last years, I certainly wouldn't pay full price or anywhere close to that for a Coach though. The new spring patchwork pattern was at the outlet store, not discounted and I certainly wasn't paying $249, even if it did have purple in it! :mrgreen:

 

$249?!? Gracious!

I like Cleo's idea. I may have to start doing that myself. lol

 

I LOVE COACH!!!! my DH bought me a 600.00 pocketbook and wallet for 250.00!!!!!!!!! they have GREAT SALES!!!!!!!!!
some may say it is crazy but I love my purses! thats my weakness!
