Is Coach Joking–Release a Budget Friendly Line–Poppy

So Coach has never been our favorite line. In fact we don’t think we have ever owned one thing from them. Their leather for men is great but their bags for women are just atrocious. I mean if I’m going to be a label whore I’d at least make it a decent label–we Just Say No to the C’s. Anyway we thought we’d take a peek when we heard they had released a budget-friendly collection. Ahem, I nearly choked–budget friendly?

We don’t even have the time to explain how hideous these flats are. Seriously the rainbow logo? Uch. But here comes the real zinger–the shoes start at $198! How is that budget friendly? I can buy a pair of Tory Burches for less than that which I won’t be embarrassed to tell friends the designer. And guess what? Items in the collection range as high as $598! Who are they kidding? How much did things used to cost there? $1000 for a pair of Coach shoes? This is NOT a wise way to try to survive the recession, Coach. Not wise.

We even read an article describing the line as “whimsical.” Seriously that word is not synonymous for hodge-podged mess.
