But then like "clean clutter free" said, since they started making stuff in China the quality has been declining to the point where I don't like the brand very much anymore. And not to be an elist (because I shop mostly generic brands) but I don't want to be one of the cookie cutter people carrying those real or PIRATED coach bags....no individuality what so ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-42682887654615921262008-06-04T22:49:00.000-04:002008-06-04T22:49:00.000-04:00Thanks for pointing out that WSJ article.

However, I don't like the fact that just because I'm not an elite consumer that means that I have to be hidden FROM the elite consumers. If you like the bags, buy them.<BR/><BR/>Those electronic kiosks are a pain in the butt for me. I can never use them, it always directs me to talk to a person, which is what I want to do to begin with. I love to travel, but it's getting so complicated that I just don't know if I will be able to do it as much anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-91542745474397873392008-06-02T19:46:00.000-04:002008-06-02T19:46:00.000-04:00I read that Coach article and all I could say abou...I read that Coach article and all I could say about the Queens / Staten Island comment was 'wow'. <BR/><BR/>Just got back to NYC today and those kiosks were a blessing to me.

Buying SEVERAL purses per year at $300 a pop is unfreakingfathomable to me. Splurging on one classic one because they last forever and look gorgeous, well, sure, but SEVERAL per YEAR? It gives me a little panic attack just to think about people doing that.Kizzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01957878512519527975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-84605864096173705842008-06-02T15:49:00.000-04:002008-06-02T15:49:00.000-04:00I love curbside check-in!

It was disappointing--Coach used to be one of the companies I could count on for made in the USA goods.
