Accessory Designer of the year! I believe Coach has some great times coming up!
He so deserves it! I went from Coach to premier designers, and now back to Coach! Who needs to pay $2K+ for a bag when he is creating such beautifully-crafted and gorgeous styles!?!?
Well-said- you echo a lot of our sentiments here. Stuart has made Coach a real player in the upscale handbag market. Let us hope he remembers this is why we love him- gorgeous bags at reasonable prices. Please do not join the ranks of LV, Chanel, Balenciaga, Goyard, Hermes, etc., at least in terms of price point.
I remember liking Coach when I was a teen, but it was out of my range then. When I was older and had money I wanted to spend, I had no interest in Coach anymore. Partly oversaturation and all the MFF siggy bags I saw where I lived, but also nothing really appealed to me. I have never gone to premier designers, but I did choose other contemporary brands over Coach, and never gave the latter much of a second look.
The 1941 line though really got me looking at Coach, at least in my internet browsing time as I don't live close by a boutique. I still stalled off buying the last year or more, but I finally caved and picked up 6 bags in the SAS. I also, for the first time ever in my lifetime, paid FP for a bag - the Olive Rogue. And with this new direction, I can see paying FP again for something I wanted as the quality in materials and construction is there.
That's awesome! I do wonder about some of the pieces he puts out, but they are very couture and on point with other designers in terms of fashion forward. I love his Rogue line, his Rhyder line from 2014/2015, the Swaggers, the Nomads, and the fact that glovetanned leathers are back and in full effect!
Same here!! I am a Chanel and Céline lover but Coach has been getting a lot of love from me recently too. I'm happy to have the new pieces in my collection.
Yay! He deserves it so much. What he has done with Coach is absolutely amazing and undoubtedly will be used as an example in textbooks in the future. His designs actually made a significant impact on my style and have provided me with a lot of joy. I hope he continues to do such a great job.People here have echoed the sentiment that Coach's price-point is a key reason why Coach is so amazing. There aren't many companies left that have runway collections and actually sell them at affordable (relatively) prices. Although I have to admit I've been noticing a very real 'price-creep' in the last year. Slowly but surely everything in the collection becomes more and more expensive. More expensive collaborations and lines. The dresses from the Fall collection are a few hundred dollars more expensive than last year's but last year they were made of silk and this year many are made of viscose / cupro and skirts of polyester. Also I've noticed turnlock wristlets have gone up in price by a significant amount. I hope this trend doesn't continue, they're at a point now where the designs are lovely and the quality is amazing and the price is affordable. I would hate for any of these factors to be thrown off.
