So ... I bought a new Coach purse!
It definitely was not in the budget or on my shopping list when we went to Seattle last weekend, but I have been wanting a new purse for some time. My black Coach purse's zipper to the main compartment has been broken for over 6 months and I haven't wanted to shell out the $45 to fix it when the body of the bag is fading and fraying in some parts. I figured I would live with the broken zipper until I found a decently priced replacement. And then, I was on my way to the Lululemon Outlet, and I passed by the Coach Factory Store. Why not just pop in, I thought. Just take a quick look around. Well, the second I entered the store a sales associate gives me a coupon for an extra 50% off everything in the store - tempt me why don't you?! So I had a quick look around and didn't see anything amazing. Then, my eye caught this bin with a jumble of bags in it. I rummaged around and found this beauty. There were no tags on it, so I asked a SA if she could find out how much it was. After some digging, she let me know that it was $65 CAD, including tax! I couldn't pass it up, and as she was ringing me through I mentioned that the reason I was buying it was because of the zipper on my current bag, showing her. She suggested I send it to Coach to be repaired, only paying $10 shipping each way. I was thrilled! So she filled out the forms and explained the repairs process to me, which took a little longer than I would have liked, but only because we were on a limited schedule at the Outlets, and away my old purse goes to be fixed! In 4-6 weeks they'll ship it back to my home address and I will have two lovely, usable Coach purses for a very nice price.
