Soror Special, I feel you.  The last bag I bought was one of the Coach "Neo" (made out of neoprene fabric) bags.  That was about three years ago (and I'm overdue for a new one!), and it still looks almost as good as the day I bought it. 
The new logo Coach bags are cheap looking and I can't stand them.  I think it's a cyclical thing. Once all the latecomers are on to their next new fad, I'll still be carrying my Coach bags!   I still find their craftsmanship to be top notch, and it shows in the seaming and brass (or pewter) detailing on the bag.  And that 
smell!  I used to walk by the Coach store at Lenox Square in Atlanta and just inhale! 
I'm hoping to upgrade to a briefcase or computer case this year.  Mad expensive, but I've always wanted one!
Also - did you know you can buy Coach bags on eBay?
