Greetings! I fear I have news that will be disappointing to you:
authentic Coach Leather goods are handled wholesale only through the
Coach company. They do this to control distribution of their
authentic product to stores which they subject to approval standards
before granting the license to sell their products.
This screening procedure guarantees the market is not flooded with the
product, and secures for retailers a certain class of clientele. It
also keeps folks like you and me from purchasing at a discount from
the company. ; )
I know this information not through Google searches but because I once
worked in an upscale clothiers and their store was subjected to
"interviews" and visits from a Coach representative before Coach would
allow their product in the boutique.
You may contact Coach toll-free at 888-262-6224 to acertain if you
might become a Coach dealer. Or, find an upscale boutique in your
area that handles Coach Leather goods and query if they will order you
"X" number of handbags for a substantial discount.
It's sad, I know, to discover there isn't a place to get authentic
Coach products at wholesale, but Coach and many other companies who
make fine goods do it this way to guarantee the quality of their
products. I could include search information here that I found about
knock-off Coach goods, but it would not be legal or moral to suggest
(or assist) you to purchase conterfeit goods.
However, on Ebay, you can sometimes find Coach products. Just go to
http://www.ebay.com and search for "Coach purse" or "Coach handbag".
You may be able to find a slightly used bag for a great price.
I hope this information proves of service to you and if you need
clarification, please ask. |

On a whim, I did search "buy used Coach purse" and "buy used Coach
handbag" and found a smattering of items for sale, but they may not be
current. However, it gave me the idea that you might start a web site
called UsedCoachLeather.com or something like that and advertise you
will buy used Coach products. However, you would need to check first
to make sure using the Coach name in any form would not be against the
law.
Perhaps you or a friend will know how to set up a small webiste with
the meta tag keywords as follows: "buy used Coach leather,used Coach
handbags,we buy used Coach products" and so on and so forth. That way
someone looking to sell a Coach purse might search the web and find
your site. It's a longshot, but who knows? You might be flooded with
inquiries and start a new business! : )
Hope this helps.
