COACH Penelope OP Art Suitcase - Designer Handbag & Purse Chat.. The Bag Forum

VivaLaJuicy · January 14th, 2009, 09:20 PM

What type of luggage do you Bagista’s carry? Unfortunately, the most attractive feature found on my carry-on is the fact that it comes in my favorite color of black. I’ve always wanted to give into designer luggage, but I’m not your typical traveler, with that said, spending big bucks on an everyday handbag seems much more reasonable for me. The All-American brand Coach introduces a new good featured within their new Penelope line; meet the OP Art Suitcase. I don't recall Coach doing suitcases in the past, briefcases for men, yes, but not luggage. So here’s something really new to Coach; OP art canvas lines the exterior of the case as black leather trim decors it as well. Some of my favorite details includes a lock closure consisting of a numerical combination and the bold hot pink interior which adds that perfect finishing touch to this travel piece. Luggage prices can run pretty high and this Coach leaves no exceptions. You can find the medium version for $1,200 or for $300 more, you can get the largest case which measures in at 27’’ x 18” x 8.5”! Ladies, what’s your input toward Coach’s new Suitcase, Do you like this?

I think they're great, but would you travel with these on a plane, or just on car trips? I'd be afraid of getting them beaten up in an airport...

Hm, I would only use it on car trips. I wouldn't want someone to steal it while traveling through the airport...

This suitcase is beautiful!

I agree about the car trip only thing. I have had lot's of bad things happen to suitcases at the airport.

I think it's gorgeous!

I would love something other than Samsonite, but I travel A LOT and practically live out a suitcase. My luggage takes a big beating no matter how careful I try to be.

I think that is totally cute! I agree with everyone and wouldn't take it on a plane.

Wow, I have never seen this before! This is seriously adorable, and I love the bright pink inside!

The info says it's coated canvas - I wonder if that's like LV's coated canvas? In that case it might hold up pretty well. Man, this is such an adorable piece, I really want it even though I A) have no money and B) have no use for it lol.

That is too cute!

I love it and I think it is gorgeous but I would put the $1200-$1500 towards some LV luggage! lol
