Let me introduce you to Carly. Carly lives larger than life. She is trim and light. Really she is pretty bitchin'! The first Coach was originally designed after a brown paper bag, did you know that? Since 1962, inspiration for Coach's handbags and purses has not changed much.

Now more then ever it seems we are in need of a larger purse, handbag or tote that is practical yet functional enough to conceal prosaic items we cannot leave behind. Besides the mundane everyday squibs such as a cell phone, wallet and keys, we do on occasion need to carry things we want to keep undisclosed. What could a woman want that needs to be kept concealed?

Secretly she wants to spend the weekend cozy in bed with Mr. Handsome but doesn't want him to know she already invited herself over with her weekend tote bag all ready to go. Having a night bag ready in the trunk of your car doesn't really scream romance. It's just tacky to excuse yourself to your car to pick up the already premeditated weekend bag. It is one thing to be prepared, but another to seem eager don't you think?

Not Carly! She can keep a secret about the necessities and unmentionables that are hidden in a woman's purse so Mr. Handsome doesn't think you are trying to move in. The Large Carly Leather Signature purse, tote or handbag zips tight to keep a woman's enigma furtive.

Can you imagine yourself on a date with Mr. Handsome using a tote that doesn't zip and accidentally disclosing your smutty intentions for the world to see? Oops! Mr. Handsome suddenly gets a phone call and now finds Mr. Guys-guy's birthday party down at O'Connell's more enticing than your lingerie and toothbrush. Don't let Mr. Handsome run away with Mr. Guys-guy because you decided to be cheap instead of spending a few extra dollars on a Carly Leather handbag that could have kept your inclinations discrete. You can be practical without looking being like Allison Reynolds (Ally Sheedy) from The Breakfast Club. Women should always be prepared for what life has to offer.

How many ways can you mess around? Two. You can clean up the mess around the floor after having the personal items come falling out of your bag, or you and Mr. Handsome can spend Sunday cleaning up the mess around bedroom. I would much rather clean the up the mess around Mr. Handsome's bedroom. What would you rather do?

Besides Coach's Carly handbags serving our greater purpose, the Coach Carly Signature comes in many different colors, patchwork art designs and canvases. The classic Coach Carly Large Authentic Khaki/Black Purse Handbag and Signature Denim patent trim Carly Large are my personal favorites. I love the size and durability of these bags as well as the crinkle patent leather trim and signature lightweight fabric.

Carly is made with Coach's patent leather or canvas material in the traditional colors, brown and black but she also comes in an array of different patent leather patchworks, colors and canvas designs. From summer blues, whites and pinks to holiday browns, reds and oranges.

Coach Carly is not just a Coach, she's a lady!
