So Coach is just about my favorite label but lately I have been extremely disappointed with he things they have been coming out with.
For example:

1.) What is with the new C's ? I know every one has to change their picture from time to time but to me it just reminds me of the really, really fake bags I see girls carrying around at my high school.
2.) The fabric reminds me of ugly winter jackets my parents used to make me wear.
3.) The bottom looks like a bunch of razor blades. The whole boot is busy and in my personal opinion just ugly.

Other examples:

1.) Are studs in now or something? I see them everywhere and it's concerning me.
2.) ...It's just a hideous shoe alone! Maybe it's because I have a younger taste but this style is something I do not understand. I've never seen someone pull them off and I remember thinking something like this was cute when I was in six grade and not allowed to wear high heels yet.
3.) I have no three I just really hate this shoe.

My last example:

1.) Why?
2.) ...Why?
3.) Am I the only one who wants to throw this shoe into a dirty body of water?

OK, so I am kind of sounding like a picky bitch. But I really do love Coach, they just came out with some really adorable flats and a few clutch bags that I'm lovin' (which are pretty cheap!). Plus all their new fragrance business rocks and I always love their jewelry. But anyways! I posted this because I want to get some second opinions and see if my dislike is solo or shared with other people. Let me know :) .

Are they really Coach!?!? They look like some of the worst knock offs imaginable :S For a brand that plays up their heritage (1941, ooh, almost as old as Australia!), making your goods in China and making it look like they're fakes from China is hardly a great brand extension.

Oh noooo... totally horrid. Yes studs are in - if they're on Gucci. That second shoe is so 1996. Agree - this is a real let down.

I was thinking the studded shoe is so K-Mart.

YUCK

I quite like studs ... on belts... only.

Those are all just disgusting!
Sorry, but that puffy winter jacket look shouldn't even be allowed on jackets let alone Shoes!

Yes, they are really Coach. Isn't that just sad? The new C's infuriate me, seriously. I've never seen a different lettering other then the classic C, which I very much so enjoy.

And hey - thanks for the tip on studs (good to know) ! Plus I definitely agree on the winter jacket thing :) . I'm really glad I'm not the only one who feels this way! I was starting to worry.

Yech! How disappointing when a classic such as Coach brings out footwear that looks like this. And as for the second shoe, it is so 1974 (okay, so I've been around a while!).
Am I the only person who is really tired of these fake-looking prints on Coach, Dooney and some of the other makers who I used to love?

I can't stand Coach..However I do give them credits for being the first brand to admit that they manufacture their stuff in China..

Not at all, I'm sick of nearly all prints. Even from labels who have earned my respect, such as Gucci over recent collections, their reliance on their print (ripped off by everyone from Guess to back street markets) really devalues the brand in my eyes.
