The 10 most expensive coach purses in the market exemplify a life of luxury where money is an afterthought instead of our focus.
Luxury brands were created for one purpose; to cater to the wants of the rich and successful, to fill a gap in the market where products are a rarity and each once can cost a small fortune. Be it Ferrari or Porsche in the car department, Rolex or Rado in the watches department or Hermes or Coach in the handbags department, these brands exist to provide not just a product, but an exclusive experience.
Created in 1941, Coach has had to compete with some of the top brands in the world of the luxury handbags, which include Louis Vitton and its Neverfull handbag, Hermes and its famous hot pink crocodile Hermes Birkin bag and Chanel and the Medallion Tote.

It is not surprising in a world full of luxuries that an item created to serve an ordinary purpose is now often used to denote the worth or the status of a person. To serve this very purpose, Coach has over the years launched some special handbags with a price tag that would turn away all but the most dedicated. These handbags are the ultimate symbol of opulence.
However, we only decided to include the purses or handbags which are available right now on the market. These Coach handbags don’t hold a candle to the most expensive handbags in the world, which you can find at, surprise surprise, the 10 Most Expensive Designer Handbags in the world, which include the hot pink crocodile Hermes Birkin bag. The bags in this list cost hundreds of thousands of dollars with some even exceeding a million dollars. Imagine spending a million dollars on a handbag when you could spend it on literally anything else!
The handbags in the list of 10 most expensive coach purses in the market pale in comparison, though even these are only bought by the much maligned, almost infamous 1% of the elite. To determine this list, we combed through articles which mentioned the priciest Coach purses. We then cross referenced the purses found with both Amazon and the official website of Coach to determine if these were still available for sale, and voilà!
10. Coach Mickey Mouse Saddle Bag
Price of purse: $888
One of the very rare half decent looking purses on this list, the combination of red and black may seem attractive to some, while others may prefer the combination of green with their brown wallet.
9. Coach Ocelot Haircalf Duffle Bag
Price: $995
Looking at this purse, I just do not know how one could ever consider dropping nearly a $1,000 on it.
8. Coach Sophia Tote
Price of purse: $978
I will admit that this purse actually looks elegant, but it would have to contain $900 in it if I was to value it at $978.
7. Coach Limited Edition Sequin Gold Purse
Price of purse: $999
While the inside looks exquisite, the actual purse itself seems a monstrosity, and I would not recommend it to anyone. Of course, I wouldn’t recommend a $1,000 purse even if it looked like Jessica Alba.
6. Coach Woman’s Printed Haircalf
Price of purse: $1,100
Up next on our list of most expensive coach purses in the market is this purse that was created using roller technology, and each bag is assembled by hand, which considering the price of the purse, maybe the most expensive assembly ever.
5. Coach Manhattan Foldover Tote
Price of purse: $1,277
This bag looks like any other bag I’ve ever seen, and maybe even worse off than some, but maybe my eye is not artistic enough to appreciate its unique qualities. After all, there must be some reason for it being priced this high to make it on this list of 10 most expensive Coach purses in the market.
4. Coach Swagger Carryall
Price of purse: $1,375.99
There is a reason that this leather handbag does not have a single review on Amazon and the reason is that people cannot afford a purse which costs half the rent of an apartment.
3. Coach Ostrich Rogue Bag
Price of purse: $1,400
The Rogue line of Coach handbags has gained popularity in recent times, and this handbag is one of its latest additions, available in a variety of colors. While the leather is undoubtedly of fine quality and may last longer than most handbags, I am certain that one could buy 10 normal handbags at this price (at least), one after another, and the life of the handbag would no longer be an issue.
2. Coach Tea Rose Applique Rose Bag
Price of purse: $1,500
This bag ranks second on our list of most expensive coach purses in the market. It was released in 2016, and is probably one of the reasons why people consider this to be one of the worst years in recent history. While it is only logical to admit that the design is breathtaking, and the materials used are probably expensive, there is still no justifying the price tag other than the tag of exclusivity.
1. Coach Legacy Ocelot Haircalf Carryall Bag
Price of purse: $1,549
People believe that spending over a $1,000 on headphones is a bad idea. I disagree. Headphones that cost that much provide an exquisite, unique experience where you feel that the song is being performed right in front of you. On the other hand, a $40 purse can carry exactly the same amount of stuff that this most expensive Coach purse in the market of $1,500 can.
