Cole Haan is one of my favorite brands, for its timeless and classy style. Even when I was in my early 20s, while most of my peers went crazy for Coach, I always would get the beautifully crafted, understated handbags from Cole Haan. Later as Michael Kors picked up steam, I refused to give in (because sometimes I just purposefully avoid super popular things) and stuck by my lovely Cole Haan bags.
My tastes have evolved slightly and when I come to North Georgia Premium Outlets, I now also stop at Kate Spade. But there is something about the leather of Cole Haan products. It is buttery and again, timeless. While saffiano leather has become really trendy, I will fall for buttery leather over and over again. My purses from Cole Haan have survived regular use and at times, abuse. They just stand up to anything and the leather stays soft. I do care for my leather products by applying leather lotion and treating them for rain and whatnot, but I imagine that Cole Haan products could probably go for a couple years without any over-the-top coddling.
Recently, I have discovered the deliciousness of Cole Haan footwear. Geez. I have officially become a Cole Haan fangirl and I don't care who knows about it. read more
