I love my new Coach Swingpack. If you don’t already own one, consider buying one if for no other reason than they’re affordable, beautifully made and highly useful. Despite the fact that they’re a diminutive purse, they’re great for a variety of uses and I have discovered just how versatile they can be.

I bought mine from a local Coach outlet, about 6 weeks ago, and it’s fast become my favorite tote bag. I’ve used mine on evenings out, for when I’m eating out with friends, not to mention as handy crossbody bag for those times when I’m on the go – it’s a great little ‘grab-bag’. Whilst they’re not up to holding a vast array of personal items, they’re more than capable of carrying credit cards, loose change, small items of makeup, a cell phone and more.

Coach Swingpack Purses

As far as Coach Swingpack purses go, there are quite a few nice ones around at the moment. You can buy one online, at a variety of online outlets, though I’d advise you to buy one from either a direct Coach outlet or an affiliated partner store. Despite the fact that they’re less expensive that some of the designer handbag manufacturers larger purse collections, they’re still pretty costly next to cheaper brands.

Mine is one from the Patchwork range, though there is an assortment of these compact crossbody bags to choose from. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as I know that one of the most popular Coach purses is in fact from the Signature range. I find them a little muted and prefer a more vibrant appeal to most of my purses, with the exception of the odd black tote.

Coach Swingpack Black

Talking of muted, low-key shades, I have been asked if there’s a Coach Swingpack in black. The answer is yes, there is. You can find them in the Signature and Mia range, as well as one or two other collections – the Julia leather springs to mind. They’re readily available on any reputable Coach outlet store, both online and off, as are any of the other small purse collections.

I guess black is easier to live with, as there’s not quite the same thought required when putting your outfit together. Black really does go with anything, and when you’re paying a minimum of around $100 for your Coach purse, the more versatility it contains, the better its overall value. Whilst the best things in life certainly don’t come free, it’s also the height of cool when you find something that, though expensive, possesses the ability to used again and again years down the line.

This is, of course, the essence of the Coach Swingpack.
