The Coach brand, familiar isn't it? You might have encountered the brand name in various boutiques, shops and malls. Actually, it has been around for a while, for more than 60 years in fact. The brand had its humble beginnings in a small Manhattan loft way back in 1941. The now popular trademark started from a small family-run business.
The very first products that carried the brand name were leather handbags crafted by skilled hands and from high quality leather. Since then, their products have been synonymous to quality and beauty.
They continue to exhibit excellent workmanship until this day. The brand name can now be seen, not only in handbags, but also in various women accessories such as gloves, key rings, wallets, sunglasses, leather cases, wristlets, watches, even umbrellas, bracelets, silk scarves and floppy hats. Trough the years, the brand has also branched out to the fashionable men who want quality designer travel bags and briefcases, messenger bags, totes, watches, belts and ties.
Moreover, you can find the brand on a complete line of women leather shoes, which due to the rock solid reputation that the brand had built, has been quite successful in the fashion world this past years. This was totally different from a few years ago. Even though the brand has become famous for quality leather bags, they were not able to capture a wider market due to the fact that their products only appeal to a minute group of conservatives.
Their black and brown leather bags and shoes were never that popular to teens, hipsters and yuppies. They needed a fresh and younger look to sell. When finally they decided to expand their product lines, they started integrating the newest craze and trendiest styles in fashion into their designs. Slowly they built up their catalogues until they reached the level of diversity they have now.
When you visit their boutique in Manhattan, or any other fashion store or designer shop for that matter, you'll see a variety of women's leather shoes that have Coach on their tags. Their shoes range from loafers to flats, pumps, mules and slides to sandals and boots. They also have sneakers.
And like their leather bags, skilled craftsmen fashion these shoes with an attention to quality and detail. You can take a look at some of their various pumps and you'll see how meticulous they were made through the detailed designs like perforated trimmings, embroidered finish or decorative tassels.
You can see top-notched stitching on their boots and leather loafers. Be contended with their leather flats, especially when they placed padded footbed to relieve stress and provide maximum comfort. The company has learned that consistency and sticking to traditions are important, but equally so is adapting to the times.
