What to know about Coach

Leather goods first, clothing second

It started in 1941 as a Manhattan workshop making hand-finished wallets and billfolds, and bags plus small leather goods are still the core of the range.

Accessible luxury, not top-tier leather

As the flagship brand of Tapestry, Inc., Coach sits in the accessible-luxury tier and sells through retail, outlets and department stores as well as its own site.

Stuart Vevers pushes Americana

Under Vevers, glovetanned bags like the Tabby and Rogue sit alongside Signature C jacquard, varsity outerwear and the circular-design offshoot Coachtopia.
