Default Coach Ergo Leather Convertible Tote



So recently, Coach has not only come out with a bunch of new handbags and accessories, but they have also decided to copy a design apparently. Is it just me or does their new Ergo Leather Convertible Tote resemble another designer bag? Perhaps the City Tote by F+C? That was my first thought. Here is the F+C City tote below for a comparison guideline:


So the City tote by F+C is totally innovative in the accessory world of handbags - it's three bags in one. And inevitably, designers were going to snag this sturcture up and apply their label to it. The Ergo Tote by Coach is made of all leather, and can be worn three different ways, just like the one by F+C: on the shoulder, in the hand or as a clutch. And speaking of leather, the F+C bags' leather seems more crinkly and soft, which is what I like. But anyways, this one is retailing for $478, while the original F+C tote is about $30 or less, and can even be less expensive if you find a deal. Coach did add a coin purse in the front of their version, which is something I'm not particularly a fan of. Also, the handles on the Ergo Convertible tote don't look as appealing as the rounded and more comfy Foley ones. Overall, for the price and the originality factor of course, I'd opt for the Foley + Corinna City tote without hesitation.

So, which version would you pick?

See it at Macy*s

I agree with you Alicia. I like Coach but in this case I would opt for the F+C especially in the fuschia that Jess has

I would go with the F+C...Coach is just jumping in with their version. I hate when designer's do that.

I hate when fashion companies are so unoriginal; it's so clear that this is just a different version of the same bag.

I sortof like the coach one if it was in different colors. Of course I'm in love with F&C, but the Coach on is different.. also it has a kisslock closure, which I like alot more than the zipper.

Does the coach on come in other colors?

I agree... the Coach one is different, but I would like it a lot more if it came in cool colors..

But I would still choose the F+C bag over this Coach bag...

I like the coach one personally and am surprised because I really don't like the look of the other bag. I know this is a hot new brand for everyone here. Just not me.
