Laser cut patterns seem to be really hot this season. The trend is gorgeous and it is popping up on handbags everywhere! Plus they are in every shape and size imaginable. So I suppose it was no surprise to see that Coach was no exception. Of course, the brand did need to put its own personal twist on the look. You’ll find several pieces with a laser cut rendition of the very popular Op Art pattern. My personal favorite, however, is the Coach Madison Laser Cut Op Art Maggie Bag!

For the past couple of seasons, the All-American brand of Coach has done some serious renovations at their headquarters. They started with a sleek website layout and continued with some of the chicest leather goods that have caught the eye of many Bagistas. Coach even managed to gain some customers back, including the ones who swore they would never give the brand the time of day again. If you count your months by handbag purchases, then I’ve been facing a drought for years. No high-end designer goods have caught my attention in a while. I demand something fresh in order to initiate a monetary savings for it. Instead, I finally met my wardrobe requests of possessing the perfect nude toned handbag for my daily needs. With the direction that Coach was heading, I knew someday we would encounter each other again. Greet my latest addition, the Coach Madison Embossed Python Sophia Satchel. I must rave about the color as it the first feature that truly caught my attention; it’s a gorgeous shade of nude that easily compliments any outfit.

Coach keeps note of which of their products are considered hits and which are simply a plain miss. To the minimalist’s surprise, the legacy stripe collection actually sold pretty well. So good selling numbers at corporate calls for a renovated design of the fun and charming collection.

The All-American brand of Coach once again introduces, the Poppy Legacy Stripe Glam Tote. We’ve seen the design and the fans of the bold and bright are accessible, but lets discover what’s the latest that Coach has to offer. For starters, the bright and bold vertical lines have a springy feel to them and with aid of the muted lime green leather trim throughout the tote; this would make a perfect edition to your Easter bunny escapades. Within the lines of hue, are imprinted textures that vary among each line. An array of corresponding dots, signature statements, and an imprinted oversized Coach tag, all fall along certain strips of color.

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.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! And what better way to celebrate than with a cute Valentine’s Day accessory? Oh my gosh, my jaw just about hit the floor when I say the new Louis Vuitton Vernis Heart Coin Purse in Leopard! It is so adorable in the Blanc Corail (White/Coral Pink). I love it!

So I decided to do a little digging to see what sorts of Valentine’s Day accessories I could uncover for a bagista on a budget. What I found was a collection of affordable accessories that you won’t feel guilty about once it’s time to store them in your closet for about 11 months. So get yourself a little gift this Valentine’s Day! And gentlemen? If you’re out there, then you might want to take note! These are some great gift ideas for that special handbag lover in your life!

I first discovered Coach when I was in high school. It was the “it” brand to have. Almost every girl in my high school had a Coach purse and accessories and if you didn’t you were instantly labeled “uncool.” I can vividly remember all of us talking about the different Coach bags that were coming out every season and which ones we wanted to get. Of course, at that age we had wish lists and credit cards our parents gave us because none of us had jobs. Even after Christmas break, we were all eager to find out who got which Coach bags.

The point of everything stated above, is that back then Coach was a different brand. It was more classic and they had their very own unique look. Now, Coach is more edgier and strives to be more fashionable. The “Kristin” Studded Leather Satchel would of never been apart of the Coach brand I knew back then, but I must say it’s pretty stunning.

Everyone loves Fashion Capital, USA and the All-American brand of Coach has clearly backed up my statement. There’s so much love for the Big Apple that Coach crafted a tribute onto one of their latest for its Poppy Collection, it’s the Destination NYC tote. The rich aspects of this city lures designers to praise their own tributes to the grand city, such as Gucci did a while back. Coach has not only displayed their love in big bold lettering, but has captured a depiction of the fabulous skyscraper buildings and what seems like a cool blue evening in NYC.
