A preview of Coach Pre-Fall 2013

A couple times a year, Vlad and I attend previews of forthcoming Coach collections. In addition to seeing the bags, I love watching the way the company transforms. The Coach Pre-Fall 2013 collection is no different – the designs are headed back to the roots of the company, with clean lines, simple designs and a focus on the complete product, not just on a logo.

Along with the collection comes an entirely reinvigorated Poppy line, and we think it’s a winner. Never fear, the quirky young Poppy bags will still be there along with Coach monogram classics, but the Saffiano leather totes that Coach is offering in a rainbow of colors are not only elegant, but also affordable – they will retail for a very reasonable $250. Make sure to check back with Coach for new arrivals, but now, let’s get to it!

They are gorgeous!!! Seemed like Coach is the brand for the premier designers to watch out for…

Wow, thanks for this. I’ve fallen back in love with Coach after a long time absence. I especially love their Coach classics, but these are amazing too! Good for them!
Millie

I was a snob about Coach for the longest time because I really dislike their monogrammed bags, but lately it seems like every collection is better than the last. These are brilliant!
Miss Kate

I can’t handle the fact that they emboss their logo in silver on the bags. Even if it is small, it cheapens the bag.

  I agree…..a great looking collection….but the embossed logo is so tacky.
Claire

These bags are way too inspired. It seems as if the designers have “borrowed” ideas from bags put out by Reed Krakoff, Celine and Mulberry. I could swear the bags in the picture 12 and 13 looked exactly like the Del Rey with a different lock.

  Reed Krakoff is President and Executive Creative Director at Coach in addition to having his eponymous line,

Love almost all of these – especially the tote in picture 1.

Picture 5 seems a little “inspired” by the Chloe one everyone was conveting

  Completely agree. The horizontal zipper and handle tabs that look like a face…

Picture 5 reminds me of the new Saint Laurent Paris Duffle bag.

Wow, some of these look like grown up bags. I like the understated colors.

Some of the tote bags look like the Michael Kors totes including the logo in silver on the front. Number five almost looks like a Saint Laurent duffle. Miu Miu pleating on number 10. The list could just go on and on.
Number nine appeals to me the most. I like the shape, silhouette, and color blocking.
Riquita

I love it. Thank goodness Coach went back to their roots of simple, timeless style and quality leather.
Labellaluxe Boutique

bellesister

OH! Does anyone know how much the purple one is with the bright purple zipper trim and bright purple corners??
bir

this new direction that Coach has taken i like !!! its clean and less obvious !!!
Cynthia

These bags are very classy & stylist; great colours & leather textures. I can’t wait to see them in the stores!
CM

Nice styles, but every coach product I have seen or used has fallen apart with minimal use

  That shocks me. I have many coach bags and never even a stitch comes out. Are you buying them at the full price stores?
tess

I disagree regarding the embossed logo as it is very small and discreet (no one seems to be bothered by the miu miu logo, prada logo, ysl logo etc etc. :)
Janine

Can someone please let me know what the name and style # is of the blue bag in pix #20?? Thanks!
Arlene
