Coach combines classic styling and functionality to create their timeless handbag range. These beautiful bags are favorites amongst Hollywood heavy hitters Katie Holmes, Jessica Alba, Teri Hatcher, and Sarah Jessica Parker.

The American fashion house began life as a small family-run workshop more than fifty years ago. They were inspired by the clever leather work of baseball gloves, and set about creating products with these unique design features and soft finish. The result was twelve simple bags with classic looks which are still produced by the brand today.

From these humble beginnings, Coach has grown into a global empire, adding a multitude of new styles, shapes, and colors to its range. Yet the influence of the sporting glove has never been far from Coach’s handbag designs.

Coach bags start from $200, and some high-end designs cost around $800. They aren’t the most inexpensive bags, but their price is justified by their quality. Coach uses only the best materials to ensure your investment will last a lifetime.

Features of Coach Handbags

Coach’s handbag range includes pieces with classic styling and modern design. While many Coach bags cater to contemporary fashion tastes, other vintage lines have remained unchanged for decades.

Coach handbag styles fall into three broad categories. Small handheld bags are ideal for a night on the town or those days when you’re traveling light. The shoulder bags offer more space, making them perfect for everyday use. Bags like the Hampton’s Leather Signature Taffy and Chelsea Optic Signature Swing Pack feature an adjustable strap, allowing them to be worn comfortably across the body.

Coach bags are usually made from leather, but recent designs incorporate other materials. The use of denim, lurex, and signature jacquard fabrics bring a range of textures and colors to new Coach purses. Modern materials are particularly prevalent in Coach’s patchwork range.

Coach bags are typically produced in natural leather colors. While many Coach purses maintain this tradition, others are available in rich earth tones, metallic shades, and classic monochrome hues.

Traditional Coach handbags have fairly basic designs, incorporating semi-circle handles, clip straps, and shiny clip straps. Modern varieties feature more edgy embellishments such as studded rivets, leather lacing, and brass buckles.

Coach’s Commitment to Quality

From their soft luxurious leather finish to their meticulous uniform stitching, Coach bags scream quality. This commitment to excellence makes it easy for shoppers to spot a fake, as counterfeiters rarely take the time to produce such superior goods.

Coach use leather handpicked from the top 10% made for manufacturing. This untreated cowhide is then tanned with natural plant extracts, fats, and clear aniline dyes, giving each Coach purse a unique grain pattern and supple finish.

Like a baseball glove, Coach handbags mould to their owners as they age, making them incredibly comfortable to wear. This makes every Coach bag truly original.
