This compact Coach purse, over 50% off, looks just like a $3,900 designer style

Buying a handbag is very personal. Not only should it be useful (hello, it has to hold all your things!), but it can make or break your outfit. Right now, one of the hottest trends is shoulder bags with a little oomph, and the Coach Faye Shoulder Bag with Ruching fits the bill. Oh, and it just so happens to be majorly marked down to $186 at Coach Outlet — that's more than 50% off.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

You know what else makes this Coach find so good? According to Reddit users, it's an affordable alternative to the $3,900 Loewe Flamenco bag but still holds its own, with one fan writing that they were "impressed with the overall quality" of the Coach bag and that it "carries all of [the] essentials."

Any deal on a quality bag is a good deal, but more than 50% off puts this one in the "not to be missed" category. You're saving nearly $200 — an entire handbag's worth of cash — with the sale price and extra 15% discount. And if you're comparing it to the Loewe bag, you're saving over $3,700 which is, uh, a lot.

Why do I need this? 🤔

Sometimes, all you need is a new bag to boost your serotonin levels (that's what we like to call "shopping science" and yes, it's absolutely a thing), and the Faye Shoulder Bag does just that. It's simple, elegant and just fun enough to be a standout wardrobe piece without being too loud. And how darling is that ruching? Made of soft leather (this Reddit user calls it "buttery smooth") with fabric lining, it multitasks as a clutch, a crossbody and a shoulder bag.

While this bag can't fit your laptop and your extra-large water bottle (that's what tote bags are for), it can hold a lot more than you probably think. At 10.25 inches long and 6 inches high, it'll fit the essentials like your phone, wallet, keys, headphones, sunglasses and a lip balm (or two, or four) without fail. Think of it like your own Mary Poppins bag, but chicer.

If the Faye isn't your style, a handful of other already-discounted classic Coach bags boast that extra 15% off discount too. One of our faves is even less than $100!
