We have multiple Coach stores in Indy. If I wanted a Coachy purse, that's where I'd go. That takes any difference between department stores out of the equation. They're too spendy for me though so it's a non-issue.

Speaking of Furla, when I was in Paris in 2007, it was during their bi-annual department store sale. Purse shopping in Paris--even if you're not really into purses like me--is heaven. There are SO many beautiful bags. I feel in love with a Furla purse. It was a pale butter color and was the softest leather I've ever felt. It was gorgeous. I went back to that purse any number of times, but kept talking myself out of it, to my regret.
