Here are pics from a scene on West Wing where presidential aide Sam Seaborn (Rob Lowe) gives his friend Laurie (Lisa Edelstein) a briefcase as a present for her law school graduation; it's a Coach Beekman:

Anne Hathaway has this beautiful Coach tote in the movie Bride Wars. I think the tote was called Gigi?

Speaking of Anne Hathaway, she has a Coach Backpack in the Princess Diaries and her friend Lilly chides her for carrying such an expensive bag. You can see the scene around 1:01 in the clip below and I've also posted a few blurry pictures of the bag. I don't know the name of the backpack but you can see the Coach hangtag when Lilly grabs the bag.

Makes me wonder if she's a Coach fan in her life outside movies?!

Jodie Foster carries a Coach bag in Silence of the Lambs. In one scene Dr. Lecter sneers at her and calls her a rube because of her "good bag and cheap shoes".

Oh my gosh, I never noticed that! Silence of the Lambs is my favorite movie. Also has my favorite movie line "I'm having an old friend for dinner."

So is her shoulder bag a City Bag, or something else? It looks like there's a gussetted pocket on the front. Is the briefcase a Coach?

I never got a good look at her briefcase so I don't know. I don't think that the purse is a City Bag, it almost looks like a Rambler to me but it is shorter than a Rambler. Perhaps Hyacinth or Whateve can help to identify it. I wish that the pictures were clearer!

I think that the briefcase that Harrison Ford gives to Melanie Griffith in Working Girl is the Coach Diplomat Attaché with Combination Lock in British Tan, style number 5353 but I don't see a hangtag on her bag in the movie so it might just be a copycat.

Here is a photo of the actual bag and a couple of screenshots from the movie.

I found one on Etsy that looks just like Clarice's shoulder bag.

I'm going to post it on the ID thread and see if anyone knows what it is.
(By the way, this is a cool thread! I'm enjoying seeing my favorite brand on screen.)

Katev, thx so much for "hosting" this most entertaining thread!! I can't wait to re-watch some of those scenes, whether it's from YouTube or the actual movie/tv show.

Btw, how are you finding these scenes -- I googled "Coach in movies" and found nothing except a link back to YOUR thread?? I mean are you just randomly checking movies/tv shows that you like?

Hobbsy, SOTL is in my Top 5 Faves of all time too -- One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is another!

I named one of our now gone (RIP) furry boy kitties Hannibal after Dr. Lecter.

Jill Clayburgh carries a British Tan Stewardess Bag throughout the first part of An Unmarried Woman"

Good catch!

It's so sad that she died way too young!

No, I have just been a Coachie and a TPFer for a long time and whenever I see a Coach bag in a movie or TV show I've tried to document and share it, but thank you! Actually @Gingerone started this clubhouse thread in 2013, I have only randomly posted clips and pics of Coach bags in the media as I encountered them. I really enjoy spotting Coach bags and am glad that others are of like mind!
