Coach backpack: Gotham, Graham, Blaine - Retail vs Outlet bag comparison

What's the difference between leather bags bought at Coach retail (main) vs Coach factory outlet stores? Are retail bags worth the extra cost? Is Coach luxury? 🧐 Here are my thoughts, plus a comparison between the Coach Gotham backpack from the retail store vs the Coach Graham and Blaine backpack from the outlet store.

Today I just picked up 2 coach outlet bags at first I was thinking it was the same as the online store but the online bag was just bigger. And one bag I got for $200 the other i payed $120 and for $320 to have 2 good quality bags I love it.

[@b3naqua]

Dang good prices! The quality you get for that price at Coach is p awesome 👏🏼

[@FREDRICKG85]

Thank you for this video. I was thinking about getting the Gotham sling compared to the outlet. One outlet looks nicer to me, but the Gotham one is more expensive. You should review those two next.🤷‍♂️

[@b3naqua]

Thanks for the video suggestion! The Gotham line in general is pretty awesome. I still use the Gotham backpack and love it!

[@mikeogden5256]

I think people try to justify the price of retail… I have inspected both and feel that any difference is very little

[@b3naqua]

Yeah the differences between retail & outlet are so subtle most of the time. Like you'd really only notice any difference if you compared 2 similar products side by side, which most people aren't doing anyway.

How is the Blaine backpack holding up? I’ve read they lose their structure somewhat over time.

[@b3naqua]

I ended up returning it 🥲 but I was noticing some of the shape starting to be lost even in the first few days of using it. This will happen to pretty much any leather bag, unless it has something more structural to reinforce the shape, which the Blaine doesn't really have. It's still a gorgeous and sturdy backpack tho!

Pebble leather is always a better choice

[@b3naqua]

yeah it hides scratches and imperfections p well 👌🏼

[@theR4man]

Just got the newer Gotham backpack it is so nice

[@b3naqua]

Nice! I didn’t know there was a new version. It looks awesome!!

[@GabeRobert-uf1uy]

[@b3naqua]

Thank you for the video and review. $500 for a school pack pack?

[@b3naqua]

Yeah the price is a bit ridiculous 🫢 but it’s also very well built and will prob last a lifetime!

[@trfrierson]

Unfortunately when I bought cheaper brands they would need to be replaced in a year. I have had a coach backpack for at least 7 years and it doesn't even look like I wear it. You get what you pay for if you don't want to be longterm wasteful.

[@harryniedecken5321]

@@trfrierson interesting, thanks

[@b3naqua]

[@444levels9]

Regarding the Gotham Back pack I've watched all of your videos and you don't mention the exact weight of the bag, please how much does it weigh??

[@b3naqua]

2 lbs, 8 oz

[@444levels9]

@@b3naqua thank you.

My wife bought me the Graham Briefcase last year and the Hudson backpack this year for Christmas, both from the Outlet, quality is amazing...
Outlet Bags are MUCH better bang for the buck...

[@b3naqua]

Nice picks! Yeah the outlet has excellent quality!
