When I first heard about Coach’s new, playful line of bags, I was immediately taken back to our forums’ early days. The Coach forum was buzzing with members chatting daily about their mutual love for Coach, and one day they named themselves the Coachies. I don’t remember the specific day that it happened, but it did, and forever more, the frequenters of the Coach subforum would be called Coachies. To my delight, I saw that Coach is releasing a new line of bags, also aptly named the Coach Coachies.
This line of bags is quite different for the brand; it’s the ever-loved Coach Rogue and other small leather goods packed with personality. What do I mean when I say personality? Well, it’s quite literal as each bag has a character that comes together with different materials and showcases totally different traits. This joyful take on the coveted Rogue bags is a welcomed delight, and while it may not speak to everyone, there is an entire market for bags as people (think the highly sought-after Hermès Kellydole bags).
Meet the Characters
There’s Dreamie, an all-knowing and slightly sarcastic version with a sly side-eye design and tassel hair. The glove-tanned leather is incredibly supple and smooth, and Dreamie comes in the Rogue 25 size. There’s also Winkie in the Rogue 17 and he might be my favorite, it’s fun-loving spirit shines thru in this smaller size bag that comes to life with Coach details like grommet eyes and Signature charm hands. If you want one of these bags but prefer it with a little less spunk, there’s Sparkie who is a Coach Rogue 25. Sparkie features navy glove-tanned leather and flat turnlock base grommet eyes, metal-cap hangtag hands, and key hood legs – he’s also the self-appointed leader of the pack.
The line of Coachies are all limited-edition but also environmentally conscious, featuring the Coach Signature Textile Jacquard crafted from a blend of organic cotton and recycled plastic bottles. I’ve always been drawn to bags because they allow us to show our own personality, so this spirited take on these bags puts an immediate smile on my face (plus, Coach has created some really fun videos for these bags, too!). These are sure to be a hit with many Coach fans, and I have always loved a quirky take on a bag and adore this line even more so because of the name that will forever remind me of the original Coachies on the PurseForum.
But why
❤️❤️❤️❤️
You win the comment section.
I want the one that’s winking.
I had to get the mini Winkie crossbody. It is just adorable.
Not bags I will use but they are cute. And Coach is at the right price point fo doing this
Faces on bags? 👎🏻👎🏻
Ugly … reminds me pixar cars
I think these are adorable. I love the little moving legs hanging down.
Hermès-inspired… without the chic or the craftsmanship.
First thing that came to my mind. I dont like the bags although i would love an slg in that design like the cardholder or wallet. Its cute pulling out something in your bag like that. I do have the fendi micro baguette with the monster eyes though. I cant get over that collection and still searching for the perfect peekaboo size with those monster eyes.
I don’t find Kellydole chic, so…
I’m flabbergasted anybody does. Whimsical and cute, I can see (even if I don’t agree). Who thinks the Hermes version is chic??
Right, because to be chic one needs to drop $8k+ on a purse. 🙄
These are super cute and very well made. I gladly already purchased a few to add to my collection.
so very much agree ! they look very well made !
They could create something original instead of plagiarizing Hermès…
It’s really not that much of a plagiarization. Hermes is not the first and only brand to put a face on a bag. I feel that this is cuter and less creepy than the Kelly doll.
This is 100% ripped off Hermès’ Kellydole (not “kellydoll”—a recurring mistake from English speakers). It’s obvious: no need arguing.
And Hermès ripped off the Kool-Aid Man with the Kellydole! Kool-Aid ought to sue Hermès for copyright infringement! At least these Coachies don’t look like they’re about to bust down a brick wall.
not being mean, just FYI its quelle Idole, as in what and idol.
Wrong. It’s Kellydole to sound like Quelle idole.
Congratulations, Fabuleux! You are very knowledgeable about a bag made for people with more money than taste.
Why are you all so rude? Facts are facts… geez. Lol touchy much?
what a snob “fab-blewww”
This user is notoriously snobby. Do not pay them any mind.
Sorry you were mistaken and now making up accounts and usernames to make yourself feel better! 🤣
Fabuleux, I suspect you are the one with the new username. I think you are Justice.
Honestly confused as to what your purpose in visiting this article was…aside from trashing a Coach bag for being beneath you and allegedly a copy of the Hermes Kelly Doll bag (je suis desole…the Kellydole) . Next time, spare yourself the heartache and don’t click on “offensive” content, or is part of your rise in putting down what others like? If so, I’m sure there are plenty of better safe spaces for you, but maybe-just maybe-an article lauding Coach’s latest collection shouldn’t be it.
First of all, it’s “je suis désolée.” But your linguistic effort has been noted. Also, I never trashed these Coach bags. I actually think they are quite fun. However, they are copied from the Kellydole concept. I don’t understand why everyone is in complete denial.
In part you are correct, but it’s your deliverance that needs work; it’s off putting and condescending. Just an FYI.
Thank you. At least you’re not being a bully like all the other(s).
SO very much agree anne, and you were right !!! its Kelly doll a play on words of Quelle Idole **what an idol** so.. back to those bags,they are ever so cute are they not.
Anya Hindmarch has been doing it for a long time, and better imo. These are a bit much.

Anya Hindmarch also came to mind for me! I’m a longtime fan of AH, and I appreciate her cheekier take.
Lets not forget, Fendi monster bags, same concept, i like them all Anya, Hermes, Coach, and well…. Hello Kitty i guess LOL.
Watch out…she will be accused of “plagiarism” as well…🤣😂🤣
I Love the quele/Idole Kelly Doll and love these bags so so beyond cute.
These are so cute and quirky! Exactly my jam! I want it all!

Here we go!..
just when coach makes a huge comeback they have to release this ridiculous garbage. Makes me lose all respect .
I want the red one!
Would you write an article on all the brands with faces on them?
I really think Coach has been bringing really ugly things lately I’m a big fan of Coach but lately it’s just the dresses look like they’re from back Victorian days now these purses that are very ugly….
