The Coach Legacy Collection

The Coach Legacy Collection

Men’s Leather Caps were initially part of the Coach collection from years back but somehow they have graduated and went with bags, eyeglasses and wallets. It’s a good thing though that they are bringing back old models of bags through the Coach Legacy Collection!

When one thinks classic handbag, Coach comes to mind immediately — it’s one of the most searched purses on the Internet.) The leather goods maker started making fashionable, durable bags in 1941 and became a pioneer in color when they released their first blue bag in 1962.

The 71-year-old company has decided to freshen up its image and brand. This fall, look for Coach’s newest collection, Legacy, a modern collection inspired by iconic styles from their archive. Some silhouettes are updates of their most popular designs, while others are inspired by classics and finished with Coach details. You can get an iconic Large Duffle or a Medium Candace Carryall (a customer favorite) for $398.

Here are all its colors — take your pick!

As I’ve blogged about it here, Coach recently teamed up with four fashion bloggers to create custom bags. All four of them have their own taste and personalities and it is amusing to see how eclectic this collection has become.

Here are some close-up looks on the bags. Which one is your bet?

Fashion Bloggers Design Custom Coach Bags

Look what I found while looking for a great deal on protein powder for the husband!

Now, this would be a dream come true! Who would have thought that these fashion bloggers were able to make their own custom dream Coach bag!

You can actually see their bags (and buy them) at the Boutique Exclusives at Coach.com. I personally like Kelly’s drawstring pouch! Can someone give me $398.00? Because that is how it retails at the store!

From top to bottom (L-R):
Given the chance to design her own Coach tote, Kelly Framel made sure she had every detail just right. “I created my perfect bag!” she says. Yet judging by the following of her eclectic style blog, The Glamourai, plenty of others would love to get their hands on her custom carryall too.

Emily Schuman, of the blog Cupcakes and Cashmere took the opportunity to cast a classic satchel in her trademark cotton-candy hue. “My goal was to create something that would make me happy every time I reached for it,” she says.

For Karla’s Closet blogger Karla Deras, success meant never having to put her bag down. Her androgynous-chic purse is designed “to be worn with a chain-strap during the day, and as an oversize clutch at night.” Looks like even hard-core fashion junkies can find a way to pack their needs into one ideal tote.

Krystal Simpson, of site What Is Reality Anyway, says her rock ‘n’ roll–inspired take is “for girls who want to have a good time without worrying about changing bags.” But don’t let the devil-may-care attitude fool you. “My first thought was how insane it would be to see my name stitched inside a Coach bag!” she admits.

Pierre Le-Tan Beach Collection

With cabana-inspired illustrations by Pierre Le-Tan, natural leather trim (that actually suntans), and wood turnlocks, it has a natural beauty. Coach even reached into their archives for the striped lining – it’s from one of our favorite bags from the 1960s.

I don’t know if I can afford a beach bag as expensive as Coach but I love their designs. We just came from a beach trip so I don’t think we can squeeze another trip to the beach anytime soon. We are particularly careful with the kids’ health because of the extreme heat and weather conditions, many are getting sick already. I am so paranoid that I want to use a hospital disinfectant for the house already.

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas from Coach

Mother’s day is going to be celebrated this year on May 9 – that is only 10 days away! What would you be giving to the most important woman of your life? While mothers would appreciate whatever you give, be it flowers, a card, or even used golf balls for sentimental reasons, every now and then, mothers need to be pampered too.

Motherhood is the most overworked but underpaid job in the world – I should know, I’m a Mom! Maybe my husband would see this and give me something luxurious this Mother’s Day!

I have something in mind to ask the husband for but that would have to wait until I can see if it’s worth it!
