Coach

Hoping to find the feel of old worn leather baseball gloves, Miles Cahn, a New York industrial worker decided to launch the COACH brand in 1941. The leather Tanned Cowhide Glove was born. The brand offers a collection of classic bags of excellent quality. An emblem of the American preppy style, COACH is hugely successful and has brought back the leather day tote. Forty years after its creation, the brand is still growing and is opening its first flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York. A historic turning point for the brand was in 1996 when Reed Krakoff became artistic director. The nylon bag stamped with "C" was born and won over customers immediately. Jackets and accessories subsequently complete the range of COACH products. Reed Krakoff won the CFDA accessories designer of the year, not once but twice, for his work at COACH. In 2013, wishing to engage fully in his eponymous label, Reed Krakoff left the COACH offices. Stuart Vevers, formerly of Mulberry and Loewe, took over and presents for the first time a line of Ready to Wear for Fall / Winter 2014. Cool and trans-generational, the brand is now exported and seduces women worldwide.
