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.

Okay, so I thought this was pretty interesting, and of course being a bag blog I had to point this out. From far away, or looking at a smaller or regular sized image it appears that Paris is toting along the Madison Audrey by Coach – oh but get this, it’s not! The bag is from her Paris Hilton handbag line. The design in my opinion is way too similar for comfort.

As you probably already know, October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. An annual health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research to the cause, prevention and cure.

I surfed the web and gathered my favorite top ten products that support the fight against breast cancer:

Remember my post about the Lockheart Shelby? Normally a fan of pleats, I was really put off by the overly precise tucks and pleats adorning the pockets on the front side of the bag. But did this bag completely ruin that particular style of pleating for me? At first, I thought it had. Then I saw the Coach Madison Gathered Leather Sophia Satchel! This was another bag with precise tucks and pleats. The difference, however, was that they encompassed the entire bag and created a graceful wave-like pattern. Somehow, this seemed much more appealing to me. But perhaps this style of pleating on such a large bag was a bit too much. That’s when my attention turned to the piece you see pictured here. Meet the Coach Madison Gathered Leather Clutch!

Coach has had a lot of new styles lately. I mean, A LOT! And it seems like a little bit of everything has sprouted up in these most recent additions. The good, the bad… and (yikes!) the ugly. But you know what? I still like Coach and I admire them for their bravery in exploring new things. So I’m not going to focus on the bad stuff, or the ugly stuff for that matter. Nope, I am only going to focus on the good. And that is exactly what I have here! Meet the Coach Kristin Studded Bag!

Just in time for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Coach introduces the 2010 Coach “Think Pink” Breast Cancer Awareness Watch with a portion of the proceeds going to the cause. Coach will donate 20% of the proceeds from each watch sold from October 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, a charity dedicated to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention and cure.

The Coach “Think Pink” Swiss Quartz (Movado) watch features a soft pink leather strap, a unique mother-of-pearl dial designed with a pink-outlined Op Art Signature C pattern, complimented by silver-tone hands and applied markers. The solid stainless steel case-back is etched with the breast cancer ribbon motif.

The watch will be available for $298.00 at Coach retail stores and through select department stores.

When I ran into Moschino’s white canvas signature bag, the first thought that came through my mind was that I’ve seen colorful signature handbags before. I don’t know who can claim to be the originator of the vibrant logo idea, but obviously, the trend keeps on going. So these two pieces by two different Houses are not absolutely identical, but you can’t miss the close resemblance they share; they’re like cousins!
