Coach Handbags New 2012

Fashion

We're not big on designer logos, and we foolishly wrote off Coach as a brand because we overdosed on their famous C-print bags. Well, Coach, we owe you an apology. We've always known your accessories were well-made and durable, and your new spring handbags are clearly worth drooling over and saving up for. These are our favorites.

Women are searching the web for Monica Lewinsky's line of handbags

Coach isn't the only popular handbag designer this season. The web is lighting up with gossip about Monica Lewinsky's handbags. Remember them? A new PBS documentary called "Clinton: American Experience" mentioned the former White House intern's brief career as a handbag designer and now women are scouring the internet for a Lewinsky purse. Lewinsky said she started knitting to cope with stress and couldn't find a nice bag to carry her yarn so she started making her own. Though her handbag line failed, you can cross your fingers and check eBay for a velvet and brocade tote (see left) which ran around $188 on therealmonicainc.com.
