Do Coach bags carry the same stigma outside of the USA?

[Anonymous]

In the States there’s a stigma associated with Coach brand which surprised me given they are making what could be considered a comeback.

I’m 40, I am old enough to remember the good quality Coach days and the terrible cloth logo days.

The whole world hasn’t decided how it feels about Coach yet. Stay tuned

My teenaged niece got two Coach bags for Christmas - she asked for them. Just FWIW.

“Stigma.”

I don’t think you know this word.

Don’t come for me. But, I think the stigma is that there are many knock offs because a certain segment of the population thinks it makes them look rich and fancy. So they’re using knock offs and walk around Walmart with fake huge logo purses. I didn’t think it was limited to coach but also Gucci.

I don't think that is the "stigma". I think its that the aren't great bags and lower class people try to act like they are (sorry).

Op here: stigma being its now a mid-range low quality brand, people have strong feelings about the brand, the raids, the counterfeits, the purses being seen as “tacky”, etc

Just from my search I created this post here without reviving any of the old threads, here’s a few where this feeling is expressed:

Coach has had a huge resurgence among Gen Z and teens with the Coach Tabby.

Any bag with a logo is tacky

That could be it too.

Lower class people in a certain segment of the population.

Gotta love this forum.
