I was just realized that my coach bags are starting to look dated. I sware I never see women my age with them anymore. I'm 25. All of the women my age and younger either have grundgey/hipster bags or super high end bags in brands I don't really know well.
I always thought Coach was an old stand by but now they seem dated. Has anyone else noticed that? Coach also isn't doing well financially, I think their stock is down. Am I the only one noticing this? So sad because all of my bags are Coach and I can't afford a new purse right now. I also can't stand poor quality Target bags.

In my opinion, when a retailer of some name decides to move into the outlets in a strong way, they end up manufacturing bags specific to outlets to satisfy the quantity they need to move to support the fake market they created, which ends up flooding the market, which ends up cheapening the brand.
So yes -- Coach Bags are dated.
I'm an absolute pain when bag shopping -- I pretty much hate everything. So I feel for you.
Well what is replacing them? I still see a lot of women my age with oversized LVs, MKs, and Tory Birch. I'm not sure if these are popular nationally or if its just my insular lifestyle (I seriously never leave my town with my current schedule).

I'm so picky. I spend usually 2 hours selecting my Coach bags. I only buy them one at a time. I really never even see other bags that I do like. If I do find one its usually over $500 and trendy.
We have a local "garage sale" type Facebook page, where people post things they want to sell. Every day new Coach products pop up, and lots of times, it's described as brand new. I have noticed that in almost 100% of the listings, it is the merchandise with the logo design, not plain leather products that just happen to be made by Coach. I still have my one Coach bag, but it is plain black leather, no logo.
In general, I think heavily logo'd merchandise looks dated faster.

Thanks. My concern isn't about being exactly on trend...I couldn't care less. I just don't want to look 'dated'. Now that I'm aging out of the sort of 'young & fresh' stage I can't help but wonder if I dress dated or if I dress like I'm older than I am.
I was never a fashionista, so I carried and wore what I wanted, never mind the trend. It's easier in one way, but when you carry a purse for so long, (this current one is like 10 years old and in perfect shape) and you have bag "requirements" (one of mine is NO ZIPPERS -- I just hate zipper bags) it makes it harder to find what you want.
I loved the original Dooney and Bourke all weather leathers, but my stars -- those bags weighed a TON. And they were all way way too big. So they were out. I also hate a large purse, because I always pack light. So my preference is a "wallet on a string" type bag.
Then I go back to a wallet only. I prefer a wallet only, but then sitting on wallet eventually makes my back get a little wonky. So back to a purse....
Luckily I treat my purse well -- so it lasts for a long time....
Nope, Coach is still very popular where I live (in the south, so trends could be different from where you live). I still get compliments all the time on my Coach bag. It surprises me, really.
