Coach : The History

The year was 1941. In a New York city loft, the founder of the Coach family business was inspired by a quintessential American icon – the baseball glove – to create a legacy of his own. To his eye, its distinctive markings and deep, glowing burnish held potential beyond its origins.

After refining the leather by making it softer, yet maintaining its strength, durability and character, the first Coach bag was created. Six artisans handcrafted the first Coach collection, consisting of only twelve bags, using skills and techniques that had been passed down from one generation to the next. Each bag was perfectly proportioned with a timeless elegance and enduring appeal – A classic was born.

Every Coach product embodies the perfect balance between design and function. Artisan-quality craftsmanship is lavished on every detail. Shapes, hardware pockets and straps are carefully considered to provide maximum efficiency, comfort and style. Leather and materials are meticulously selected in a time-honored tradition to meet Coach’s quality standards. Seams are double-stitched where reinforcement is required. Traditional hand-finishing techniques lend each bag unparalleled character, quality and distinction.

Classic Coach hardware like the turnlock, buckle, dogleash and grommet provide function and embellishment. And the iconic hangtag, featured on every bag, brief and travel piece, is widely recognized both here and abroad as the trademark of the Coach brand.

This epitomizes the renowned Coach mix of function, workmanship, fashion and style. Coach seamlessly blends a purely New York fashion sensibility with an all-American attitude for a design that is unparalleled.
