I don't get the Coach-hating. They are mid-market brand with some decent classic bags, they use great leather and hardware. I'm a handbag designer (no, I don't work for Coach) and I appreciate the effort to make quality things. What kind of a snob disses well-made stuff?

Hey #4, when we put this up, the f+c bag was also available in gray, and for some reason, only that color was on sale. the other two options, black and dark brown, were regular price. guess the gray sold out during that time - sorry!

The coach hating is for the ubiquity of the really tacky 'logo' jacquard that they sell in places like Macy's.
Their more limited, seasonal designs are often really good, but they seem to be some kind of Reed-fantasy advertising write off (like RL Purple Label) that exists only to stylistically support the hoards of crap that they very profitably churn out.

Last March, a few designers embraced the one off ad. Ads are expensive, and if you've got the momentum of a Rodarte or a Phillip Lim, unnecessary (for now). Unless of course the economy tanks. One of the designers who gave the idea a shot, Zac Posen, shot this ad… Read More
