Timeless accessory brand goes downtown!

By Maria Nguyen

Whether you can afford it or not, every girl (at least secretly) wants a Coach bag. It's classic and stylish, and now its loyal shoppers no longer have to look far in Toronto for the famous brand.

This summer Coach opened a new shop on the third floor of Eaton Centre. Even from far away you can't miss its signature emblem. The latest season's Bleecker line, with its trendy oval buckles and shiny leather, sits temptingly by the shop window. You can't help but ogle. You want to touch it, strap it on your shoulder. You want to bring it home, so you step inside, just for a look. And $398 later, you can't live without your brand spanking new duffle. But it's Coach and it's going to last a while and it's going to go with every outfit, or so you convince yourself.

Personally I think Coach makes a great little accessory. It's got a wider variety of styles, is more affordable, and its designs are a lot more chic than the more expensive brands like Louis Vuitton. So girls, next time you're downtown shopping for a new bag, be sure to pay a visit. Just don't leave your old wallet at home!
