While wandering through a shopping mall upstate this weekend I found myself in a Coach store for the first time in ages. To my dismay I found a boatload of delicious bags that are on the cutting edge of cool. I was overwhelmed by icy metallic totes, ruched leather satchels and sequin novelty bags. No longer is the brand focused on the logo fabrications favored by mommies everywhere and the boring basic leather shapes I had come to expect from them. Coach is cool now guys…when did that happen?

First drop dead gorgeous bag I see is their Madison style in gathered black Italian leather. It reminds me of a Burberry bag from last season that I had a huge crush on but never bought. Then I see the same Madison bag in embossed croc the color of denim! Now what to do I thought to myself! They are both to die for beautiful! For those of you not familiar with the The Madison Bag from Coach it is a medium size satchel style purse with handles, a removable shoulder strap and metal hardware. Coach makes the Madison in a ton of different fabrications and colors, but I have my heart set on one of these two.

Another standout style from the Coach collection was the Colette Bags. The Colette series has more of an uptown vibe than the Madison series but they are equally as beautiful. Colette bags are made from supple Italian leather with crocodile tonal trim and all have a cute metal disc insignia. I especially liked the tote and cross body style.

As if I wasn`t having enough of an eye feast in the store I happened upon some of the cutest novelty bags I have seen in a while. I think these bags are targeted for their younger customers, the daughters of the coach monogram set. I would be equally as happy to have one of these metallic or sequin bags hanging from my arm as I gallivant around the city.

I am always so happy too see an old favorite of mine reinvent themselves for the better. In the end I didn`t make a Coach Handbag purchase this weekend. I was simply too overwhelmed by the newness and coolness of it all but rest assured I will be very soon. Which Coach Bag would you choose?
