Maria Sharapova for Cole Haan Handbag Collection
In 1928, Trafton Cole and Eddie Haan designed their very first shoe. It was that year that Cole Haan, a men’s shoe company, was born. Now, nearly a century later, the company is still going strong with women’s shoe and handbag collections that were added along the way. Cole Haan offers good quality, modern styles for the woman looking for something within a more moderate price range. In other words, Cole Haan is something just about anyone can afford. And that certainly isn’t a bad thing during these tough economic times!
Now everyone knows of Cole Haan’s collaboration with Nike, but just this last Spring, the company teamed up with someone that I normally would not have associated with the word “fashion”. This new collaboration was with tennis player Maria Sharapova. Her designs seem to have brought some fresh-looking pieces to the Cole Haan family. Her handbags, in particular, are chic and modern. I really love the architectural details paired with fun tassels. The Maria Sharapova for Cole Haan Handbag Collection is definitely worth a second look, especially if you are looking for a less expensive handbag for Fall. Below are the styles currently available!

I love the pretty pleats on this bag! Perfect for a fancy night out!

2. Maria Small Hobo

Im really drawn to the Maria hobo, but is that leather? It looks sortof like nylon to me.
I’m actually going to that event! Can’t wait :)
Her boots are hot. I pass on the bags though.
lizour – the collection comes in both nylon and leather. The second one pictured is in the leather and the third one is nylon. I saw these bags a couple weeks back and they are really amazing in real life.
Oh man I’m missing the event right now!! I don’t think I’m going to make it.
Who ever goes you better post pics in tbf!
I love her boots! Anyone know who designed them?
You’re right jessica. I really need to see these irl.
I wonder if macy’s has them in stock.
The only feature I like is the tassels.
fall_babe, those boots are also from the Maria Sharapova collection.
They have some available at piperlime.
I don’t want to sound cheap, but I would never spend that much on a Cole Haan bag. Their shoes are another story though.
I think the bags are just okay, nothing really that spectacular imho. Although I do agree with the above comments about the shoe collection. The boots in this line are really amazing.
Hot bags, even hotter boots.
