COACH SS2014 Fashion Presentation

COACH SS2014 collection continues its momentum with contemporary and refined offerings. The collection introduces a core color palette of vachetta, black and rich mahogany with pops of seasonal colors for an ultrachic look. <Bar Stripe> The much sought-after Borough bag, that made its debut in fall, will expand this season with refreshing hues, smart new silhouettes and the on-trend bar stripe. Now available in crisp spring shades of vermillion, walnut, camel and grey, the luxurious leather coupled with the stylish silhouette of the Borough is sure to make this bag a wardrobe staple. The bar stripe also makes a strong statement in combinations of vermillion, tan, black and parchment. This bold yet sophisticated look will be available in the Large Clutchable and three different sizes of the Borough as well as two new silhouettes - the Highrise and the domed Bistro Satchel.

<Patchwork> The pieced leather technique of the bar stripe is taken to the next level with a striking patchwork design. In addition to bags, the high style pattern will also be peppered in throughout the assortment in a Patchwork Slouchy Mini Skirt and a Cashmere Bar Patch Oversized Crew.  The intricate and modern design exemplifies the craftsmanship synonymous with Coach.

<Edge Paint> The refined lines seen throughout pre-spring continue to evolve with the introduction of edge paint. Offered in eight different sizes of the Borough, from a Key Fob to a Weekend Bag, these stunning white bags, trimmed with the season’s hottest hues, will seamlessly take you through the season. The new Georgie Satchel and Bistro Satchel will also feature the edge paint detailing in a variety of colors. The contrasting shades make for the perfect understated and chic look.

<Gingham > is infused into the collection in shades that evoke the feeling of the warmer months. The canvas East West Town Tote with leather trim will debut this elevated and versatile pattern in unique wavy gingham. Swimwear will also be seen in the wavy gingham in Peek-A-Boo and Retro Bikini styles. The East West Tote, North South Tote and Mini North South Tote will unveil a more structured form of the pattern. 

This season’s collection is all about strong graphics and a sporty attitude. Drawing inspiration from abstract paintings and textured surfaces, the importance of color play is the highlight of the bar stripe theme yet the pieces are perfectly refined for a sophisticated look. This impactful design is exemplified with the Mixed Material Bar Stripe Tote, the pieced together black leather mixed with soft canvas makes for a strikingly chic combination. Available in wearable silhouettes like the Day Tote and Shopper these bags are as functional as they are fashionable.

Highlights include the understated Bar Stripe Tote in navy and black, and for a bolder look the Mixed Bar Stripe Tote is available in doe and dark olive with a pop of mustard. The bar stripe theme is also available throughout the collection with the Placed Bar Striped Sweater and Bar Stripe Light Weight Scarf and in novelty items such as the Bar Stripe Portfolios and the Bar Stripe Umbrellas.

 <MERCER COLLECTION> The luxury layer of the collection is updated this season with leather bonded to suede and extra-premium belting-leather strap details. Made with leather from Italy, these new straps are showcased on the refined Banker’s Brief, an updated silhouette with iconic Coach style. The belting strap details are also mirrored in the beautifully paired back silhouette of the Craftman’s Tote. The Postman’s Bag with an adjustable strap for added comfort is a unique silhouette with a striking brass dog leash and suede lining.

<THOMPSON COLLECTION>  This collection collection is reintroduced with a more modern, sophisticated aesthetic, and a decidedly urban edge.
