I had an issue with my Coach Rainbow Signature Bikini too in the same year (the edge stitching unraveled on it's own). I'm an ex-designer buyer LOL I have kids now-I've only bought the Chloe Paddington, my Coach carrier & bikini and the Gucci 75 Anniversary Hobo (extra large) in like the last 6 years now since I had my son-my second child, but my friends complain almost everything is made with half the quality it used to be. I'm saddened to have found out Coach (an American designer brand) is made only in China! Plus when you are paying designer prices (it shouldn't be all about the brand tag -it's supposed to be about an investment heirloom quality "designer item"-well before "designer" was commercialized) and the item is poorly crafted it's like ugh thanks I paid for quality and got a label that used to stand for that-seriously the Petco imitation (that looks exactly the same except the correct shades and the Coach stamps) is actually better constructed-but from cheapo lesser quality materials...thus I'm looking at the PET TREX 3 IN 1 STROLLER CARRIER CAR SEAT right now-it has a reputation of being a well made dog product line item and seems to be reasonably priced, multifunctional and I'm thinking with the health issues of one of my dogs I'll never know when I will need a stroller... |
I have a few Coach bags and stopped buying them because of quality. Also, last year I bought a Burberry Bag ($1000) and four months later the shoulder strap started to come apart. I couldn't believe it. Fortunately, Nordstrom's has excellent customer service and took the bag back. They even gave me my $$ back, not just store credit. So I took that $$$ and threw in a little more and bought me a Louis Vuitton. I can say that bag is great and will probably last me a very long time. I take really good care of it, though.
As far as the carrier, after buying a few "cheapies" I broke down and bought the Kwigy Bo in silver and I love it. I use that bag more than my purse. It allows me to take Ruby everywhere and I use it daily, too.
To the OP: I think you'l find the Kwigy Bo is very popular among YT members and I have found that it really is a great carrier and worth the investment, especially if you want to take your baby with you everywhere.
For us, Ruby has become part of the family and it's just automatic that we pack her up to go , too.
