One of the weirder rumors we’ve heard this morning is that Cole Haan is pairing with Converse.
The move seems inordinately silly, until you think about the fact that the brand’s spent a lot of time and money in the past few years to get a little hipper.
The evidence so far is a bunch of photos in People and InStyle featuring some cooler celebrities with their bags - like Keira Knightley, at left.
Seeding luxe bags to A-listers certainly doesn’t prove that you’re working with Converse, but since the new Lucien Pellat Finet sneakers - done by Vans - launch today, it may be that anything’s possible.
And John Varvatos hasn’t looked cooler in years…

Also not weird given that both are owned by Nike.
