The Prada Nylon and Cervo Hobo, Black vs the Coach Soho Leather Tote, Black
Prada Versus Coach in the Designer Purse Market
So, not wanting to go half hearted on this declaration of my age and my admittance into the world of grown up designer purses I found two well known designer brands that seemed to have a variety of purses that would suit my tastes. Coach seems to be everywhere. You can’t seem to walk down the street without seeing someone walking down the sidewalk with one of those tiny little purses with all the C’s all over it pulled over their shoulder. On the television though, Prada Prada Prada is all you hear. I decided to do a little research.
Coach handbags originated when its creator noticed how distinguishing the leather used in baseball gloves was. The baseball gloves looked only better after years of use and became soft and even more beautiful. Hence Coach handbags began in 1941 with their original made to last leather bags.
Prada began in 1913. Mario Prada began selling shoes, handbags and trunks in Milan, Italy. Jump to about four decades later and Muiccia Prada was born in 1950. Early in the 1970’s she began to make her own bags, which have evloved in to the super popular and much saught after designer purses of today.
The Prada Nylon and Cervo Hobo, Black Versus the Coach Soho Leather Tote, Black
I decided that I should stick with a black designer purse because it would give me the most wear for my money. I have a lot of clothing that would look great with a black designer purse and I thought it would show the least amount of wear and tear over time.
The Prada Nylon and Cervo Hobo purse, Black is made of durable black nylon and trimmed in smooth black deer skin. It has a magnetic snap closures and is chock full of lots of little pockets. It also has a very comfortable buckle shoulder strap that is the perfect size for slinging over your shoulder. The Prada Nylon Cervo Hobo, Black measures in at a nice medium to large size of 9Ã?¾”H X 11″L X 4Ã?¼”W, just about the perfect six for an all around designer purse in my opinion. Not too small, which does not seem to be in style right now, and not so large that it will eventually be out of style. I also like that the Prada Nylon and Cervo Hobo, Black has an ID tag that you can leave attached or remove. I have to admit I almost decided this designer purse was the one for me, but common sense made me go check out the Coach Soho Leather Tote.
The Coach Soho Leather Tote, Black is a fabulous leather purse. Quality is a well known feature at Coach and I have to say they were my first choice when looking at a designer leather purse. Although I wasn’t sure if I wanted a leather purse or not, but once I picked up the Coach Soho Leather Tote, Black and slung it over my shoulder I was sold. Coach has created a designer purse that I honestly think will not ever go out of style. It measures sin at a reasonable11 (L) x 11 1/2 (H) x 6 1/4 (W), which is a great size for cramming quite a lot of stuff into. I love this purse and finally decided it was the first designer purse I would buy because of the huge number of very convenient pockets it has. It has a cell phone pocket, a clip to hook your keys to, two side pockets, the entire purse zips shut for one large pocket, and inside there is a small zip pocket perfect for hair clips and lipsticks. The handles of the Coach Soho Leather Tote, Black are a super roomy 26″ and I love slinging it over my shoulder and running out the door.
I do have to say that over time I have even begun to like The Coach Soho Leather Tote designer purse more and more as it has broken in. It is so soft and slouches perfectly everytime I toss it on the counter! I can’t wait until next Christmas when I get to search for and buy another great designer purse!
