Coach has teamed up with fashion designer Anna Sui for a small capsule collection.
The all American brand asked Sui to give its iconic Duffle Sac a makeover. With the style dating back to 1972, some reinvention is probably overdue!
Coach’s creative director Reed Krakoff said he selected Sui for the project for her iconic status and affinity to Coach and its heritage.
“When I think of her and her accessories, I think of these amazing leather goods shops from the sixties and seventies with these amazing whipstitched bags and hand-burnishings, and so it was a great fit,” he explained.
Anna Sui was keen to take on the challenge as she felt Coach’s Duffle was such an important part of the American brand’s history.
“It’s truly an honor to put my own spin on this seminal design,” she confirmed.
Anna Sui’s take on the Duffle Sac has a relaxed, bohemian feel with Art Nouveau dragonfly accents, oversized tassels, and whipstitched accents. Two different versions will make their debut at Sui’s New York Fashion Week show tomorrow, ahead of their general public release. Look for Anna Sui’s new Duffle Sacs at selected Coach outlets and the label’s online store this fall.
