Coach Head Reed Krakoff Prepares to Launch Own Brand

Posted on: Jun 20

Reed Krakoff is hardly a household name, but the Coach president and creative director may be about to step into the spotlight. Fashion Week Daily reports that Coach will develop a new brand around Mr. Krakoff.

The details are a little fuzzy at this point, but we know the names "Reed," "Reed Krakoff," and "RK" have all been registered with the United States Patent and Trademark office, along with a selection of custom logos.

It's thought the trademark may be used for ready-to-wear fashions, leather goods, personal care products, or hotel and restaurant services. That's a fairly diverse collection of ideas, so my guess is that no one really knows!

At this point Coach will only say that they always have new projects in development. Whatever it is, it's bound to be exciting. Reed Krakoff has worked with Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilifger, so I'm sure he's learned a thing or two about building a personal brand.

Ugg Australia Leather Hobo Handbag | Classic Black Boho-Chic Purse

Posted on: Mar 7

Ugg is famous for their furry accessories crafted from genuine Australian sheepskin. But the brand has turned its back on their iconic woolen purses to create this classic hobo. The problem is, that by losing its definitive look Ugg becomes just one of the pack.

There's nothing really to fault here. The traditional crescent shape is a classic for a reason. Black leather never goes out of style. But there's simply nothing new or particularly exciting in the execution. And for $348 retail, I think there really needs to be.

I appreciate this hobo's functional medium size, and all those inner pockets are bound to come in handy. The classic black shade and simple design lends itself to daytime and evening wear.

This Ugg Australia hobo is a pleasant, but ultimately boring, bag. While the brand's fuzzy purses weren't to everyone's tastes, at least they showed more personality than this!

More Features of This Ugg Australia Leather Handbag

  • Top zip closure
  • Two slip pockets and one zip pocket inside
  • A single shoulder strap
  • Measures 15 x 7 x 5 inches
  • Comes with a dustbag

Rafe Irina Satchel | Wool Trimmed Leather Handbag

Posted on: Dec 28

Like it or loathe it, the Rafe Irina satchel is impossible to ignore!

It's made of Italian shearling, with a shiny crackled finish to give the purse an aged vintage feel. Coordinated goatskin belts loop around the purse, serving no practical purpose but looking fabulous with their polished gold buckles. If the details stopped there, the Irina might have been a different purse. But this beautiful bag becomes very busy with the addition of fuzzy wool trim.

The zip top closure opens to reveal a handbag that is spacious, but still manageable. A zippered pocket and a couple of slip pouches make organization easy. There's even a key loop to take care of your house and car keys.

Its original look mean the Irina won't be to everyone's tastes, but that'll suit the girls that love it. They're the fashionistas who don't want to be spotted carrying the same bag as anyone else. So while more conservative tastes might steer clear, the luxury leathers and fun wool details make the Irina a daring yet practical statement satchel.

More Features of This Rafe Shearling Satchel

  • Logo-lined interior
  • Dual carrying handles with a 4.5 inch drop
  • A detachable shoulder strap
  • Measures 15.5 x 9 x 5 inches
