You have seen these bags in recent collections but they are now out in great summer colors – the color SAND!

We’re loving summer sand – it’s the perfect laid-back, neutral color for the beach.

The Madison Hippie in sand or parchment is summer’s roomy take-everywhere bag. Carry it as a handbag or wear it over your shoulder

As I’ve blogged about it here, Coach recently teamed up with four fashion bloggers to create custom bags. All four of them have their own taste and personalities and it is amusing to see how eclectic this collection has become.

Here are some close-up looks on the bags. Which one is your bet?

Look what I found while looking for a great deal on protein powder for the husband!

Now, this would be a dream come true! Who would have thought that these fashion bloggers were able to make their own custom dream Coach bag!

You can actually see their bags (and buy them) at the Boutique Exclusives at Coach.com. I personally like Kelly’s drawstring pouch! Can someone give me $398.00? Because that is how it retails at the store!

From top to bottom (L-R):
Given the chance to design her own Coach tote, Kelly Framel made sure she had every detail just right. "I created my perfect bag!" she says. Yet judging by the following of her eclectic style blog, The Glamourai, plenty of others would love to get their hands on her custom carryall too.

Emily Schuman, of the blog Cupcakes and Cashmere took the opportunity to cast a classic satchel in her trademark cotton-candy hue. "My goal was to create something that would make me happy every time I reached for it," she says.

For Karla’s Closet blogger Karla Deras, success meant never having to put her bag down. Her androgynous-chic purse is designed "to be worn with a chain-strap during the day, and as an oversize clutch at night." Looks like even hard-core fashion junkies can find a way to pack their needs into one ideal tote.

Krystal Simpson, of site What Is Reality Anyway, says her rock ‘n’ roll–inspired take is "for girls who want to have a good time without worrying about changing bags." But don’t let the devil-may-care attitude fool you. "My first thought was how insane it would be to see my name stitched inside a Coach bag!" she admits.

Brooke is summer-ready with an eye-catching new gilded Op Art pattern.

With cabana-inspired illustrations by Pierre Le-Tan, natural leather trim (that actually suntans), and wood turnlocks, it has a natural beauty. Coach even reached into their archives for the striped lining – it’s from one of our favorite bags from the 1960s.

I don’t know if I can afford a beach bag as expensive as Coach but I love their designs. We just came from a beach trip so I don’t think we can squeeze another trip to the beach anytime soon. We are particularly careful with the kids’ health because of the extreme heat and weather conditions, many are getting sick already. I am so paranoid that I want to use a hospital disinfectant for the house already.

Mother’s day is going to be celebrated this year on May 9 – that is only 10 days away! What would you be giving to the most important woman of your life? While mothers would appreciate whatever you give, be it flowers, a card, or even used golf balls for sentimental reasons, every now and then, mothers need to be pampered too.

Motherhood is the most overworked but underpaid job in the world – I should know, I’m a Mom! Maybe my husband would see this and give me something luxurious this Mother’s Day!

I have something in mind to ask the husband for but that would have to wait until I can see if it’s worth it!

I do not need the best seo software to tell me that every time I post about bags in my blog, my site hits triple. I guess there are more baghags than shoe lovers out there?

I am obviously charmed by the new Charm Collection by Coach though.

I am a fan of soft leather bags and this Charm Collection is known for its butter-soft leather. The newsletter I received says the bags have

chunky chain detailing, butter-soft leather, and a sweet detachable coin purse for good luck

While I am not excited about the small pockets, this drew my attention:

Unfortunately it is straw and white. So no way for me to maintain a bag like that.

I was about to decide on a Madison or a Peyton (in leather of course) after getting a Zoe, but I just fell in love with Kristin:

Girls, meet my new love, the Coach Kristin Rouched Leather Drawstring Hobo:

I was browsing the purse forum looking for something I can set my eyes on, perhaps if I win the lottery when I saw this. It is part of the Spring 2010 Collection and it still costs an arm and a leg (maybe if I get maimed and file for disability insurance I can afford it) but oh lala, you should see the ladies who have taken pictures with their bag on their shoulders – the slouchy sexy classic look is there!

I personally prefer the navy leather bag (yes it’s leather) but that chalk one is also something else. That bag is something that can be used with jeans or a dress and since its leather it can last for a loooong time.

It measures 17″ x 15″ x 3″ and it retails for $498.

I know that the Juno leather is not new to Coach, but here the rouched and draw string detail highlights the supple and saturated color of the premium Juno leather. The fine-grain gently tumbled cowhide bag actually only asks for $498.00. You could expect such a LV or Gucci designer bag to priced over one thousand US dollars. We do pay for the brand value. This Coach bag measures 17.75 inches long, 15.25 inches high and 3.5 inches wide. It makes the bag modest sized with elegant appealing. The bag has inside zip pockets for cell phone and PDA. Besides, it has two side pockets for holding other essentials. The bag features hidden magnetic snap closure for security

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Coach has come out with a gorgeous Collection for a Cause:
