Coach Ostrich Accordian Zip Around Wallet - Designer Handbag & Purse Chat.. The Bag Forum

Alicia · May 13th, 2008, 10:54 PM

As mentioned previously, Coach has been increasing their prices to compete with higher end designers like Louis vuitton, for example. And it seems like they are trying to make their accessories more exclusive. I mean, there are plenty of Coach goods that appeal to me and I own a few bags by them. But honestly, $1,500 for an Ostrich Wallet with the Coach label on it is a joke, in my opinion. And aren't their products made over in China?

The new Ostrich Accordion Zip Around Wallet by Coach comes in light blue and tan, and I would pick the blue or "pool" if I were to purchase one (which would be never). The wallet is very functional, allowing one to carry many credit cards, money, papers, change, ect. But so what? To me, and besides the exotic skin, this Coach wallet is nothing spectacular and is just like any other wallet of theirs. Why would I spend $1500 on a wallet when I could buy a bag or two? I think Coach is taking their pricing a little too far. But hey, if you're a fan of the wallet, there is also a matching handbag that retails for $4,800!

See it here at Coach

sorry - i spelled "Accordion" incorrectly in the title...

Well, this clutch looks very cool. I've never really liked coach. The logo's are too much for me (well my gf

), but $1500 is way out of the question. But imho, it does look really good in the blue.

Daniel · May 13th, 2008, 11:11 PM

what does the handbag version look like?

Jennifer · May 13th, 2008, 11:19 PM

Omg, I love this clutch

Alicia · May 13th, 2008, 11:21 PM

^ Hey Dan!!!

here is the handbag version:

Jennifer · May 13th, 2008, 11:22 PM

Holy crap, that handbag is gorgeous...

Alicia · May 13th, 2008, 11:23 PM

they are really nice pieces by Coach, except for the prices...

Daniel · May 13th, 2008, 11:35 PM

$4,800 for that handbag?? I would rather buy my gf something more classic, like a birkin. Well , almost a birkin right?

Alicia · May 13th, 2008, 11:44 PM

^ yeah, that's what i was thinking - that the price of this bag is "almost a birkin", LOL!

or you could opt for the Chanel Classic Flap which is less than this (i think around $2,500).

Daniel · May 13th, 2008, 11:53 PM

I'm just thinking 4800. for a coach? Never.

PS. Alicia, you have a great "wishlist"

Alicia · May 14th, 2008, 12:05 AM

^omg, thanks!!! only problem is i don't know what to get next (the Chanel must wait).

Maeveyblue · May 14th, 2008, 08:53 AM

The price is crazy and I would never spend it but I LOVE that handbag!!!!

icon · May 14th, 2008, 09:49 AM

The handbag is absolutely what I need!!

I love the wallet and bag, but not the prices! And unfortunately, while I love Coach, I don't think they're going to accomplish what they want by raising their prices. I hear more and more people say "It's cute, but I wouldn't spend that amount on a Coach bag" much more than I hear people saying that they're buying. It's almost like they're trying to circumvent their image of "affordable luxury."

Wow, that was really wordy - sorry! LOL!
