I don’t own this bag yet, but I love it. It’s the one I’m saving for, and in the spirit of buying slowly and intentionally, I want to share why it made my list. When I buy it, I’ll update this post with my real review.

The bag: the Coach Sierra Satchel in brown and black Signature canvas, with a dome shape, top handles and leather trim.

Why this bag

Simply put, it’s the it-girl bag. The classic Signature canvas, the dome shape and the top handles make it instantly recognisable, and I love it.

Why I’m waiting

Buying intentionally means giving a big purchase time. Here’s my rule: if I still want something after a few weeks, and I can picture exactly how I’ll wear it, it’s probably not an impulse buy.

What to check before you buy a Coach bag

Boutique or outlet? Coach outlets often sell bags made for the outlet, so compare the details and the price with the boutique version.
See it in person if you can. Colour and size can look different on screen.
Check what fits. Bring your phone, purse and keys and try them in the bag.
Buy from the official store or a trusted retailer so you know it’s genuine.
