How I First Spotted This Dragon Bag
Was scrolling Instagram last Tuesday when this shiny red Coach bag with dragon scales popped up. Immediately screenshotted it because damn, that gold dragon head closure looked badass. Remembered my old Coach wallet lasted five years, so figured maybe their special edition stuff’s solid too.
The Research Rabbit Hole
Googled “coach dragon bag real reviews” like crazy. Found zero unboxing videos – huge red flag. Checked Coach’s official page: $895?! For that price, it better breathe actual fire. Saw three customer reviews saying “scratches super easy” and “chain feels cheap.” Almost backed out right there.
Taking the Plunge
Thursday lunch break, dragged myself to the mall. Sales associate pulls it out looking way smaller than online pics. Felt the scales – kinda plastic-y? The dragon head clasp wiggled when I flicked it. Tried fitting my essentials:
- Phone barely squeezed in
- Keys scraped the lining immediately
- Lipstick tube fell out twice
Sales guy kept raving about “investment piece.” Yeah, invest in frustration maybe.
Two Weeks Later Verdict
Took it out three times total. Dragon head clip already losing color where I touch it. Corner stitching unraveling after brushing against a table. Carrying it feels like babysitting a fancy egg – scared to put it down anywhere. Used my old $40 backpack yesterday instead. Genuinely sad cause that dragon design had potential, but nah. Save your cash unless you wanna stare at it gathering dust on a shelf.
