I never pay retail for it either. And the one time I got one retail as a gift I sold it after the season for 75% of the price. So essentially the purse was really cheap. And it was only in fair condition which I stated.

I like that they stand up when you put them down. For some reason that is important to me. I hate to have a bag that you sit down and it flops, revealing any personal purse contents. I also like the clean lines. And I rather like what I get at the outlet because usually, it's something I've never seen before so I'm not seeing it on everyone's shoulder.

I don't spend much. I don't buy much. But I do like Coach. (and diamonds) They are my only two girl traits and I'm holding onto them for dear life.
