I am soooo in love with coach bags. Last year I had a Chloe and Tinkerbell garage sale to raise money to buy my dream fish coach bag on ebay. That was the only way my husband would let me buy one. It was a retired bag and I got it for 40% off(it was a $500 bag) and it is beautiful, the qualilty is amazing and it holds up so well. It was well worth $300 I spent on it and I still carry it around every day. My husband gripes about how expensive it is but unlike his stupid video games he pays $50 each for and gets tired of after 2 weeks Ive been using my bag for over a year. I consider Coach bags excellent investments, when well cared for they even maintain their value for a long time. I bought a coach bag once and decided it wasnt the style for me after using it just a few times and I sold it on ebay for as much as I paid for it
(I hope all this helps convince your hubby that $200 is well worth spending on a coach bag
