Kristy Korcz — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 11:47:57 PST

If the tech clutch trend isn't quite your thing, consider spending the many gift cards you'll no doubt receive this season on a luxurious Julia Embossed Metallic Universal Clutch ($58) from Coach.

It's got "universal" in the name because it can hold your smartphones, small digital cameras, and MP3 players, either keeping them safe in a bag or on your wrist during a night out on the town. It's shiny, it's beautiful, it's totally Winter appropriate.

Before They Were Heritage: The Coach Bags - and Ads - of the '70s

Noria Morales — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 08:30:21 PDT

When Coach launched its Heritage collection this Summer, the clean, classic lines and '70s-inspired shapes were an instant hit. Many of you expressed joy that you could simply buff up your mom's vintage Coach bag and start wearing it again. Reed Krakoff, Coach's creative director, said of the brand, "Heritage is our hallmark," which is why they went back to the archives for their latest colors. Eggshell, vermillion, and lime were first used by the company in the '70s, and we drummed up one of the original ads that highlights that super '70s vermilion shade. It's a testament to the brand that the bags are still so chic. If you are one of the lucky ones who inherited a vintage Coach bag, Coach women's handbag designer Elisa gave us a helpful hint for making it look brand new: "to remove dirt and condition after cleaning, apply leather moisturizer evenly with a clean, soft cloth using circular strokes, then wipe off the residue and buff gently to produce a natural luster." Click the slideshow to see two of Coach's original ads (one features the now heritage Stewardess bag) and highlights from the new collection.

The new Classics collection is on sale at Coach.com, with prices ranging from $168-$498.

Gwyneth Paltrow Signs on as Coach's Newest Face

Noria Morales — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 07:43:55 PDT

Gwyneth Paltrow - actress, singer, GOOP editor, cookbook author, and model - has signed on to be the brand ambassador of Coach. The brand is celebrating its 70th anniversary next year, and Gwyneth will be the face of the Coach's ad campaigns for Fall 2011 and Spring 2012. To see the Coach/Gwyneth campaign, which will be shot by Peter Lindbergh, you'll have to leave the country, as the images will run exclusively in European and Asian markets and not in the US. Gwyneth said, "I'll never forget getting my first Coach bag - I'm so proud to be part of their 70th anniversary celebration." It's exciting news, but are you disappointed that the ads won't run in the US, considering Gwyneth's status as an American style icon and Coach being a classic American brand?
