Coach is almost always a sure bet when it comes to handbags. The classic styles and quality craftsmanship are well worth the designer price tags that accompany these stylish bags. In comparison to other bag prices, however, Coach is generally fairly reasonable, which makes them even more enticing.
The popular brand’s newest addition to the family is the Penelope collection, which offers several colors, patterns, and shapes for the bags. While there isn’t anything particularly groundbreaking about the Penelope Shopper, the overall style is very appealing and versatile.
I love the soft, pebbled leather version in the color coral. While somewhat unexpected, the pink-ish, orange-ish tone is perfect for the spring and summer months. If the fun Coach patterns are your preference, though, this large satchel is also available in the Signature Shantung and Op Art fabric. Although these options are $50 less, the solid-colored leather, in my opinion, is worth the extra cash since patterned fabric can be somewhat limiting.
Like most shoppers, the Penelope provides ample storage when necessity calls for it. Interior and exterior pockets will keep you organized. Silver hardware complements the coral color while bold stitching adds some contrast. Look for the signature logo and hanging tag for authenticity. The Coach Penelope Shopper retails for $398.
