  21. This is a beautiful bag. If I could choose a color I would choose the Brass/Pale Yellow. I love the convertable option. I’ve always liked bags with long shoulder straps. So I can swing the bag onto my back if I need to bend down. It stays on my back and I don’t have to set it down on the ground. Thanks to Coach’s for offering the bag as a prize. Thanks to the themommyinsider.com for sponsoring it.

  22. I’ve never owned anything from Coach. I would love to see what all the fuss is about. lol

    Thanks for the awesome contest!

  24. I am already a subscriber but I absolutely adore this bag. I have so much to carry with me I need this bag.

Thanks for the giveaway!

  32. Would love to win this bag! It’s gorgeous and all my stuff from my “crap bag” would fit in. Most say I carry the kitchen sink in my bag.

  33. Why I want to win? Well recently I entered a contest on Popsugar.com and won a $450 Coach purse, it’s going to be gifted to my Mom from us on her 50th Wedding anniversary this May. Well my 22 year old really rather felt left out of the decision, she’s wanted a Coach for a long time, I’ve heard her speak of it many times and now I’m feeling regret for earmarking it to good ‘ol mom. To win this would greatly help me get back on good terms with the daughter

  34. Well I cannot afford a coach bag,so it would be great to win something so pretty for spring. I love the color, and the size is perfect, my husband would like it because I didn’t buy it, Thanks!

  35. I would love to win this for my wife. She loves coach, but I have not been able to get one for her… thanks for the entry

  36. I’d like to win because my Mother-in-Law really likes Coach, and this would be a great present to give her.

  37. Like so many others, I love purses! This one is fabulous. Coach makes really pretty pursed at prices that are not out of the question. Thanks!

  38. this is really great does it have a long handle also so One can throw it over ones shoulder and holding a child I love it when the strap goes over My body so I know I do not have to worry about it slipping when I am running somewhere late…smile no not Me…

  39. I love this bag and would so love to be able to carry a Coach bag.
    Most of the purses that I do carry are from Walmart or the like. But I have always loved seeing the new coach bags.

    Thank you so much for offering this wonderful giveaway 🙂

  40. Beautitul bag! I want to win because I have never been able to afford a Coach bag, or any designer bags. Thank you. 🙂

    Thanks so much for the chance to win! Yay!

  42. I have one coach bag that use every day and love for its durability and functionability I would love to have another to change out my look

  43. I think it’s great that It’s not your traditional Diaper Bag, but can be used as one if Needed! Thanks

  44. I could really use this bag because it would be nice for the spring/summer season and with a new baby – I need a bigger bag!

  45. Why do I want this bag? Well, first, it is beautiful. I love the winter white color and the style looks great. But also, it is huge, you could really carry around EVERYTHING you need. From the looks of the picture, you could even carry around your small child. 😉 Now granted, like you said, it is a great price for the quality, it is still a bit pricy for many of us, which is why I would LOVE to win it.

  46. I’m already a subscriber. I want this bag because it seems absolutely perfect for me. Everything about it, from the Coach quality and design to its ability to multitask is just lovely!

  47. This is a great bag – it looks big and sturdy enough to hold *everything* and of the kind of quality that will last long after babies are grown.

  48. I love the color. Coach bags are some of the best.This is a awesome giveaway.Thanks.
    Have a great day everyone.

  49. I would love to win this! I got a Coach bag for Mother’s Day a few years ago and it’s starting to get pretty dirty.

  50. Perfect bag for a Mom – big enough to carry all the stuff a family brings but doesn’t want to carry themselves and still keep Mom looking stylish too.

  51. This bag is much needed! Today I saw a senior citizen toting around the identical LeSportsac bag I’ve been using for the past 2 years.

  52. What a fab bag! After having my baby 6 weeks ago, I promised myself a new bag when I got back down to my pre-pregnancy weight. I have 6 pounds to go and have recently begun window shopping for the reward bag. This one was near the top of my list. I would love to win it so that I can spend the money I was going to spend on a new bag on my new baby!

  53. Rhonda said…

    I have an obsession with finding the perfect non-diaper bag diaper bag!! Did that make sense? Seriously, most purses just don’t have enough pockets or room for the things you need to carry as a mother and I still can’t find that perfect fit. Help end my endless quest and give this bag to me!!
    mommyneedsatimeout@live.com

  54. Aside from really needing a new purse, how exciting would it be to own such quality! Thanks for the great giveaway!

  55. I want this bag because it’s gorgeous, functional, large, gorgeous, practical, and gorgeous – did I mention that it’s gorgeous? 🙂

  56. I love any bag that I can carry everything I need in & this one looks fabulous! Thanks! thebubbledies(at)gmail(dot)com

  57. I need this bag…I have twins who are 18 and seniors in high school. I am chaperoning their senior trip to NYC and need a great cross body bag to carry all my stuff…and theirs!

  58. Everytime I go to the Park with my two boys, I hate carrying around a big diaper bag! This bag is amazing because of the versatility of this convertible hobo. The color really would go with everything I wear and being a single mom, I need something that adds pop to my outfits at times!

  59. I have a feeling this bag would help me stay on top of my “mom duties” (lugging everything everywhere!) while still looking like a million bucks! Thanks for the chance to win.

  60. I would love to win this bag! It would be perfect for a mom like me who is always on the go, and needs to take a lot of stuff with her!

  61. Coach always has beautiful bags and this is no exception. I especially love the color…neutral, but not boring!

  62. Wow, this is a gorgeous bag! I would love to be able to carry MY personal belongings & my baby’s stuff together in one place. How wonderful is that that you could fit all that in there and it not look over-stuffed and look classy! YAY for Coach! Also, it would be nice change to hear “wow, what a great bag” instead of “may I help you ma’am. you look like you’ve got your hands full” 🙂

  63. i am a huge fan of all things COACH, but i am not a mom, so i am signing up to win this gorgeous bag for my best friend jamie, who just had her first baby (a little boy!) just two weeks ago. i know she would love it, and i would love to treat her to something so beautiful!

  64. I’m going to be the happiest and most stylish mom in the world to have this bag because it is a Coach, it’s made of leather, it’s multifunctional, it’s huge enough to fit my 4year old son’s toys and my 9 months old baby boy’s nappy stuffs and to top it all up, IT DOESN’T MAKE ME LOOK LIKE I’M HAULING A NAPPY BAG! YIPPEEE!!

  65. i am a huge fan of all things COACH, but i am not a mom, so i am signing up to win this gorgeous bag for my best friend jamie, who just had her first baby (a little boy!) just two weeks ago. i know she would love it, and i would love to be able to treat her to something so beautiful!

  66. I’m working hard on making over my body, I watch what I eat carefully & exercise. I think that once I reach my goal later on this year a bag like this would be HOT to wear with all my smaller clothes! I love the idea it is roomy to hold my children’s things as well as all my stuff I always lug around.

  67. I’ve actually had my eyes on this gorgeous bag, i love the soft leather and also the option of an additional strap for cross body. It would be the perfect spring and summer bag for me.

  68. That bag is beautiful! I’m in desperate need of a new one. I’ve been so good about not spending money on things I don’t need and I would love to win this treat for myself! Thanks so much for the review and giveaway!

  69. I would love to win this bag bc with two little kids, it is hard to splurge on myself, this would definitely help that out for a while. Oh and it is beautiful!

  70. I do so much running around to the gym and to work that this bag would hold all of my essentials to get through my day.

  71. I can’t afford a Coach bag, so winning one would be nice…and then I’d never have to buy another handbag again!

  72. It is so difficult to find bags with shoulder straps lately. As a commuter in the city that never sleeps it is CRITICAL to wear your bag crossbody while on the subway or bus. Most crossshoulders tend to be ‘messenger bag’ style and I’m just so tired of having to sacrifice style for function, this bag has both, it’s stylish, and can be worn safely over the body while commuting, I’m sold!

  73. k – drool drool drool. Perfect to hold my and my little boy’s stuff in style and get rid of my ratty backpack purse and diaper bag.

  74. I have 2 daughters, ages 9 and 3. This bag would be the perfect bag since it is a large bag plus, you get the added bonus of being able to carry it crossbody. It would be so nice to have a crossbody, hands free bag that can hold all of my family’s needs plus, all those extra things that always end up in mommy’s purse like the little pink plastic Cinderella cell phone that I just pulled out of my purse tonight.
    Congrats in advance to the mommy who wins this gorgeous bag, you deserve it!

  75. I have never been comfortable with a small purse…always missing something when I needed it. This bag would solve the problem. Thanks.

  76. I purchased my first Coach bag in January. Coach sure has a lot of beautiful designs/styles and gorgeous colors. This is no exception. Would love to win this bag. It’ll be my very first yellow bag. Perfect for Spring/Summer. Best of luck to everyone.

  77. I have been eying this purse since before it came out! Now that I have a little one on the way, I’m convinced that this would THE bag to hold all the mommy essentials and look chic while doing it!

  78. What a cute and functional bag! It looks like a perfect bag for me to take on my school trip in the summer.

  79. I love this bag, I can carry everything I need for me and the kids! I couldn’t ask for more! Thanks for an awesome giveaway!

  80. I love this bag!! Have been drooling over it for awhile, but can’t afford the price. Would be great to tote around all my things!!

  81. I would love to own this bag because I have always wanted to own a Coach bag and have never been able to afford one!! This would make a great birthday present!! Thanks!

  82. Because Coach makes terrific leather items and I’ve always wanted a purse of theirs.
    I liked to smell the aroma inside the store
    while browsing through all the purses I could not afford.

  83. I would love to have this bag to carry around my wedding planning stuff! Yellow is one of our accent colors!

  84. It’s such an unusually pretty yellow…not too light, not too bright. I also like the size since I inevitably end up caring much more than I would like in my purse (most women do with three kids in tow)!

  85. I just had baby #4 and am searching for a great bag. With 4 little ones under the age of 6, this bag looks like it would hold everything I need–diapers, wipes, bandaids, Polly Pocket, and Elmo!

  86. That is one gorgeous bag! I would love to win because I can’t afford to buy one, but man o man, would this be the best prize ever to win!

  87. That’s a really cute bag and after a long winter, it would be the perfect pick me up! Thanks for the terrific giveaway!

  88. I love this bag- it’s big enough to hold lots of stuff, but stylish enough no one has to know it. i love the softness of the leather too. coach hit it out of the ballpark with this one!

  89. I have two little ones and this seems like it would be the best bag to use with them. It can be worn crossbody and seems to fit everything I would need. I love it!

  90. I am a HUGE Coach fan! I love this bag and it’s on my wishlist. I am a Mom to 4 kids, so the budget is tight, but I would love to have this gorgeous bag to be stylish and hands free, and be able to carry all the needs with me. This bag has it all! Love, Love Love it!

  91. I would love to win this bag. I had planned on buying this hippie bag, unfortunately I might loose my job so I had to plan and budget a little, therefore I won’t be able to buy it at least for a few months. I hope I can win this!!

  92. I’d love to win this bag because it is beautiful and functional and will last forever, well after I need it for diapers, and pull-ups, and toys, and everything else I keep in my bag for my daughter!

  93. omg I love my coach bags, but with tough times its been forever since I could justify spending money on a new bag!

  94. I’d love the bag just because I love big bags and I really love the yellow one but the sand is pretty too.
    Thanks for the chance to win!

  95. I love coach products it’s my favorite, I’d love to win and I really appreciate the chance Thanks so much

  96. It’s both stylish and practical, and believe me, that combination is harder to find than you’d think! Thanks!

  97. Oh how I love coach and this bag. I want it because it fits me perfectly. I haven’t had a new bag in years.

  98. I would love to win this fantastic Parker Large Convertible Hippie bag from Coach because Spring and Summer is almost here and what a super terrific way to kick off the new season than with a wonderfully feminine, stylish, classic handbag such as this! I cannot imagine a more perfect handbag than this to use everyday wherever I go. It has all the bells and whistles I would hope for in a bag, it is large enough to accommodate all that I normally carry with me on a daily basis, the design is classic and timeless and will work beautifully with so many of my outfits, the color is neutral and so versatile with what you wear it with, and I know it is a handbag that will truly stand the test of time, a handbag I will want to wear for many years! Thank you so much for the opportunity to enter. I am already a current email subscriber too!

  99. This bag makes a mom look chic! You can be organized and still look fabulous. What a great combo! Pick me – I certainly need to look fabulous and organized.

  100. Finally, a beautiful bag that is big enough to free me from carrying a diaper bag and a purse. I would LOVE to win this bag, it is SO me.

  101. This would be perfect for my wife. She loves Coach and she never has room for all the kids stuff she wants to carry. This would be perfect.

  102. I would like to win this bag so I can use it for both my diaper bag and purse. I really like the silver/sand color.

  103. I have to travel by plane a lot…and baggage is now restricted..but you can take one carryon and a purse at no charge ( so far) and this looks like I could cram enough for a week in it.

  104. I’d like to win this bag to give as a gift to my Daughter-In-Law. She loves Coach and we’re hoping to hear she’s going to be a mommy soon, so she’ll need a stylin’ bag to tote baby’s things.

  105. This looks like one great bag with lots of space! I’m not sure I would have the strength to carry it fully loaded, but I would love to try.

  106. I subscribed. Anyone would love this bag…especially me. My husband is always one me to get a bigger bag so I won’t have to take everything out to find what I need

  107. I am a huge fan of Coach products! I was just looking at this bag at the store. It was just out of my price range for right now. I am expecting my first, due in early September and this bag would last for years to come. My Coach bag that I am using right now I have had for years and I have yet to get tired out it. I rotate my bags all the time. I love that Coach sell to Millitary PX’s. When my husband was on active duty with the Marine Corps it was hard for me to stay away from the Coach displays! Ordinary diaper bags are so depessing, its great to see such a versatile designer bag!

  108. Great bag! I would love to have a handbag this size, so that it can hold the numerous items I end up carrying with me every day.

  109. Why do I want this bag? WHo wouldn’t want ot? It is coach, ir is yeallow…c’mon aske me something tough!

    madamerkf at aol dot com

  110. I would love to have this bag in the Silver/Sand color. I would never need another bag because this would go with everything I wear and Coach bags are quality bags that last and last.

  111. I’ve always wanted to have a Coach bag. I especially love this bag because it’s a good size and not a tiny little one. I can still be a mom, needing to carry kid items and still be in style. I love the color too.
    Thanks so much for this wonderful, wonderful, giveaway.

  112. I would LOVE to win this bag. It’s so roomy, and besides all the kid stuff I carry, oftentimes I stash paperwork and music sheets for school. It’s such a lovely giveaway, thank you for the chance to win.

  113. I would love to win this new Coach bag. Mine is about 5 years old and really out of style and worn-out looking.

  114. I would love to win this. Coach is my dream bag, but with kids I’ve never been able to justify spending that much on myself.

  115. Great giveaway! I would love to win this great bag because I could use a great pick me up, and Im sure this would do the trick! Thanks for the chance!

  116. I’d love to have this because well…I don’t have any purses worth more than $20!! =)

    autumn398 (at) yahoo.com

  117. I’m a purse junkie but the one I have now has seen better days and it’s no Coach. Not only is this purse large enough for all my “mommy essentials” but I bet I could bootleg some 20 oz sodas and juice boxes into the movies with it, it’s that roomy. I’m not sure I’d do that though since I’d be worried about leaks in my Coach bag 😉 That purse is far to pretty for stains. It’s been far too many years since I’ve been the proud owner of a Coach, I’ve missed having a Coach bag.

  118. I would like to win this because my old handbag is bursting at the seams with all the stuff I try to cram in it.

  119. I did down size for a while but now that I’m a grandma of 4 I need Big,functional and good looking,again.

  120. My husband just lost his job so buying purses will be out of the picture for a long time in our household! I would love this!

    Thanks! foxsquirrelrabbit at gmail dot com

  121. I’d love to win this wonderful bag because I’ve been feeling less then stellar lately..This beautiful bag would give me a much needed boost

  122. I have been so good about not spending anything on myself. Cutting and tightening my budget. Please reward me for being good.

  123. I have been a SAHM for 30 yrs and could never afford a nice purse like this. To win one would be a real treat and this one is gorgeous!

  124. Love it!! This Coach bag looks so stylish, and versatile. What more can you ask? It’s Coach, that says it all. Thanks for the chance to win something I’d never be able to buy!

  125. Coach is amazing. They are my absolute favorite brand. Their items are premium and last for such a long time. I’d die to have this bag! It is gorgeous; the color, the roomyness, everything! Very chic.

  126. I love this bag. It’s the perfect bag for a soccer mom to carry all of the necessities for watching from the sidelines.

  127. I really love this bag. The color is great. I really like the idea of the removeable shoulder strap. Very pretty for spring.

  128. This bag is absolutely adorable! So much more stylish than what I carry now. I’d love to win, especially since I don’t think I’ve ever carried a purse that didn’t come off the clearance rack! I’m already a subscriber too, thanks so much!

  129. This is just the bag I have been looking for!!! It is stylish and yet can hide all of my childrens stuff. What a great find!

  130. I love this purse! It is SO fabulous!!!I have been looking for a purse like this but mostly haven’t been able to afford it or just didn’t like it. This one looks big enough that I can hold all my stuff and my little ones!! I have two old small coach purses that were given to me but never really been able to afford my own BIG one!

  131. A stylish bag large enough to carry all of my sippy cups, snacks, wipes and whatever toys my kids ask me to lug around? Perfect!
