Alright, thanks to you ladies, I am now the proud owner of two new Coach bags. After reading the purse forum, I decided to give the Santa Fe outlet store a call to see if they had the purse I wanted in stock. They said they did, so I packed up the kids (they're on spring break) and we headed up to the outlet mall, about an hour away.
They unfortunately did not have the exact bag I had thought I wanted (wrong color), but I found others that I liked so much more. My camera software isn't working, so I'll post links instead of my own pictures.
This bag just came in from the stores, according to the SA. It was on clearance, so I snagged for an awesome price. Am I allowed to share amounts, or does that break some board rule? Here's a picture of the same bag on ebay:

This is the other one that I picked up, on clearance, for everyday. It's just like this one, but in a dark brown leather. The only difference, besides color, is that on the back side is a horizontal zipper. I love it! Here's the picture:

I'm so glad that I made the trip to the outlet store. You really have to try a bunch of different styles to know which you like best. Also, they have a ton of signature stuff as well.
Thanks so much to everyone who answered my questions!
