Coach Now Open

Coach opened a new store in Park Plaza last Thursday. I dropped by to check it out yesterday, though clearly lacked the budget for a purchase. Still, it's a great window shopping locale. The light is beautiful, and the bags are drool-worthy.

Their fall line is full of rich orange, red and metallic bags. And several of them are tasteful without prints that scream "Coach." (I always waver on the logo fabrics.)



I've been to several Coach stores where the personnel were snotty and unhelpful, especially when they spy my Target-chic purses. But on Wednesday, the crew at the Park Plaza shop were genuinely nice and helpful. They definitely understand that half the people who stroll in won't be dropping $500 on a handbag.

And while we're on the topic, it's a good plan to check out the Dillard's Coach selection before you buy at the new store. They had 50 percent off several summer styles, when the exact same bags were marked at full price in the Coach shop. It's still fun to browse the big selection at the new joint, though.


Check it out for yourself on the third level of Park Plaza, next door to the Crown Shoppe. Their hour follow the mall's schedule, which is nice since some mall stores have been closed on Sundays lately. Anyway, Monday through Saturday: 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. Sunday: 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.
