Well I have to admit, I use to purchase only Coach and Dooney and Bourke, however.... I sold off most of them, I have fallen in love with the bowtucks!! I like the feel, the pockets and most of all the room and how easy everything is to get to when needed. With my Coach bags, they were bottomless pits with a small interior pocket and nothing else. The Dooney's sure had those hand dandy cell phone pockets that the cell phone did not like to hang out in and would jump ship whenever possible. Now I have a new bag for every month, some I have made, some I have purchased and Holiday ones, I am currently working on a Halloween one!
