Coach Handbags & Purses

Coach was founded in a New York City loft, 1941 – inspired by a baseball glove for its “distinctive markings and how supple it became with use”. After refining it, making it softer and stronger, he created Coach’s first handbag. Since then, innovations in leather finishes, new grains and colors, and modern materials continue to fascinate us. But this glove-tanned leather remains a Coach tradition.

The Coach brand is well-known for their signature double C logo, which has become famously copied by counterfeiters.

Popular Coach collections include the Heritage Stripe, Penelope, Spectator, Madison, Legacy, Addison, Leah, Soho, Zoe, Peyton and Carly.

Celebrities famously known for their Coach handbag collection are Denise Richards, Jessica Alba, Eva Longoria, Hilary Duff, Rachel Bilson, Carmen Electra, Hayden Panettiere and many more, including thousands in The Bag Forum. Another great read: Celebrities and their Coach Bags!

Coach is in the news once again involving a patent infringement, for another brand stealing one of their designs.

Last week Coach Inc. filed the suit against Brown Shoe Co. Inc., accusing the footwear firm of mirroring one of Coach’s handbag designs, the Ergo.

WWD is reports: “In a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan on May 29, Coach accuses the retailer of selling what is “virtually an exact copy” of its Ergo Pleat handbag in the Naturalizer chain of stores. Coach began selling the Ergo Pleat bag in 2007 and patented it in December 2008. Brown Shoe did not return a call seeking comment. Coach is seeking an injunction, profits it would have made and any profits Brown Shoe made off the patent as well as other unspecified damages.”

When I went to the Naturalizer home site I didn’t see the bag they were referring to in the lawsuit, however I did spot a couple styles that looked incredibly familiar to other designers. (to name a few – ysl, f+c, and more)

I was checking out what was new at Coach the other day when I stumbled across the Ali Collection. According to Coach, “this summer is all about Ali”. The collection offers a new take on the classic hobo style, with each piece having it’s own unique little twist. All of the bags in the Ali Collection, however, are adorned with a pierced signature C medallion charm that resembles a jewelry line Coach introduced not too long ago.

Out of all of the handbags that make up Coach’s Ali Collection, I think I like the Ali Large Hobo the best. I like how nicely the leather on this bag slouches, creating almost a draped effect. The leather on these bags is just amazing and I especially love the pearlized finish that the Tangerine version possesses. So soft and yummy! This bag would be perfect for someone wishing to pull off a boho-chic look without having to commit to a bag with fringes, beads, or studs. In other words, there is no need to worry about this bag going out of style once all those trends have faded. Sounds like a win-win situation to me!

The Coach Ali Large Hobo measures 16″ x 13.5″ x 5.5″ and it retails for $378. The bag comes complete with a detachable long shoulder strap. It is currently available in Tangerine (pearlized leather), Mahogany (pebbled leather), or White (pebbled leather). Find it at Nordstrom, Macys, and Dilliards!

It’s not every day that I come across a Coach bag that I really like. But, in my opinion, Coach has been doing so much better with their designs lately. So much so, in fact, that I find myself spotting several bags I like every time I take a peek at what’s new. So what have I found this time around? Meet the Coach Metallic Legacy North-South Tote. It is both practical and stylish, not to mention it looks like it would make a great work tote. I love the contrasting trim and flap pockets on the front. Plus the pretty metallic colors are fabulous! The only thing that worries me is the rolled leather handles. I think I would need to try this bag on to see how they feel first. But, all in all, this looks like a pretty good bag from Coach. Did you hear that, Coach? Keep up the good work!

The Coach Legacy North-South Tote measures 16″ x 14″ x 5″. It is available in Silver/Ivory or Silver/Navy. And for those of you that don’t have an obsession for metallics, this style is also available in several non-metallic colors. It retails for $858. You can pick one up at the Official Coach Website. Or you can shop Coach at Nordstrom

The Coach Signature Stripe collection has been around for quite sometime now, but now there is a new color in collection. The new color in the collection is a mix of Brass, Khaki, and Pink and it’s actually quite pretty! The blend of the three colors together compliments the satchel very well I must say!

I have always been drawn to the Coach Signature Stripe Satchel because it kind of reminds me of a Louis Vuitton Speedy 30. They both have that same shape and style but of course the Coach satchel is much more affordable than the fabulous Louis Vuitton Speedy.

The Coach Signature Stripe Satchel has the measurements of 12 (L) x 7 3/4 (H) which is very close to the measurements of the Louis Vuitton Speedy 30. Being that the measurements are so close to the Speedy, we can concur that this handbag has plenty of room for all of your stylish essentials and more! Other amazing features of the handbag include: two exterior pockets; zip top closure; coated signature print fabric with leather trim; fabric lining; and 18″ straps.

The Coach Signature Stripe Satchel can be purchased at Nordstrom for $298, which is a great buy for a handbag that is so spacious not to mention pretty.

What type of luggage do you Bagista’s carry? Unfortunately, the most attractive feature found on my carry-on is the fact that it comes in my favorite color of black. I’ve always wanted to give into designer luggage, but I’m not your typical traveler, with that said, spending big bucks on an everyday handbag seems much more reasonable for me. The All-American brand Coach introduces a new good featured within their new Penelope line; meet the OP Art Suitcase. I don’t recall Coach doing suitcases in the past, briefcases for men, yes, but not luggage. So here’s something really new to Coach; OP art canvas lines the exterior of the case as black leather trim decors it as well. Some of my favorite details includes a lock closure consisting of a numerical combination and the bold hot pink interior which adds that perfect finishing touch to this travel piece. Luggage prices can run pretty high and this Coach leaves no exceptions. You can find the medium version for $1,200 or for $300 more, you can get the largest case which measures in at 27’’ x 18” x 8.5”! Ladies, what’s your input toward Coach’s new Suitcase, Do you like this?

Cobalt. As mentioned by fellow blogger brs, it’s the blue to go for this spring as it seems like every brand right now is flaunting their version. For the past couple of seasons or so, something really different is going on over at Coach Headquarters… and I love it! Their changes are great and they can clearly be seen among their collections. One of the brands latest is the Penelope line. With its surprising colors and new silhouettes; Coach is really brings “new” to the table. I’ll admit that I’ve been cautious of some of Coach’s logoed stuff, but I never feared their leather goods, and the Penelope Leather Shopper leaves no exceptions. Who knew pebbled and patent leather could look so good together? Coach seemed to pull it off as the combination is pleasant rather than busy. My favorites things about this shopper: the choice of hues, the minimal silver hardware, and the pretty feminine ruffles found decoring its upper body. If only this shopper lost the handle studs and the leaf-shaped zipper pull, then I would adore this piece even more! Measuring in at 13” x 8” x 4” you can find this newbie carrying a very reasonable price tag of $348.

I have always loved the Louis Vuitton Galliera, and it looks as if Coach has made their own version of the Galliera. I bring to you the Coach Zoe, and it reminds me of a more affordable version of the Galliera. The Zoe isn’t as pretty as the Galliera but it sure does come in plenty of colors. With the amount of colors this handbag comes in, you are bound to find at least one color of the handbag that you find appealing. To be exact, over at Nordstrom.com, the handbag currently is available for purchase in seven different colors. My favorite color is the orchid but each color is fabulous in its own way. Some features of the handbag is that is has a zip top closure, interior pockets for your different necessities, very spacious, and most importantly it’s stylish. If my heart wasn’t set on the Louis Vuitton Azur Galliera PM, I would probably opt for the Coach Zoe in one of it’s many colors.

The Coach Zoe is currently available for purchase at Nordstrom.com and is priced at $348, which I don’t think is that bad or high of a price. Coach has been pretty outrageous with their prices lately and I must say this isn’t that high of a price for them right now. Cute bag and definitely worth the price, if I could only get passed the whole Galliera comparison I would probably love it even more.
