It seems that people are either all for Coach or vehemently opposed to it. As I have grown older, I have become less excited about the signature logo styles and have fallen in love all over again with the classic leather pieces. The brand has also added in luxurious skins like python and buffalo leather, taking Coach to a totally different level and placing the brand’s handbags right alongside the hottest luxury accessories designers in the industry.
The Chelsea Collection is Coach’s newest and it is full of must-have styles for Fall. Each piece is understated yet chic, providing the perfect complement for any ensemble and truly showcasing the artistry used to craft the Italian leather handbags. The Chelsea designs also have great finishing touches including buckles, padlocks, and amazing hardware.
My favorite style is the Embossed Croc Emerson Satchel (right – $595). It is a little roomy for everyday wear, but NYC is home of the huge handbag. The stone-colored croc embossed leather is exquisite and the padlock detail gives me the feel of a new-aged Chloé Paddington Bag. Definitely a must-have for the season.
Coach’s Chelsea Collection retails for $178 – $1200. Visit www.coach.com to purchase and see more styles from the collection below.
