Alexis, Olivia, Jordana, and More Show Off Cool-Girl Summer Style at the Coach Fete - Who's Most Fab?

Marisa Tom — Fri, 25 May 2012 10:24:00 PDT

For a super Summer-inspired fix of flirty frocks, colorful bags, and must-have sandals, look no further than the stylish celebs making the rounds at Coach's cocktail-cum-charity benefit party in LA yesterday evening. Aside from the brand's slick leather-and-tassel satchels providing a cool accessorized boost, we loved the variety of sunny styles - girlie, muted sophistication, and all-out brights - spotted on the likes of Alexis Bledel, Olivia Munn, Jordana Brewster, and Kristen Bell. While Olivia opted for a Naven neon pink miniskirt and Jordana kept it cool in silver-gray tones, Alexis chose a butterfly-printed Tucker dress for the occasion. For a tougher edge, check out Malin Akerman's leather Mandy Coon number, or for a more Parisian-chic vibe, channel Nikki Reed's Finders Keepers shirtdress look.

Check Out Coach's Covetable New Legacy Collection

Chi Diem Chau — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 08:04:06 PDT

We've always been fans of Coach's iconic Heritage bags, so you can imagine our excitement when we laid eyes on its new Legacy collection at a preview yesterday. The line features the classic satchel, saddle, and tote shapes we know and love, but this time, they're injected with modern twist thanks to bright color combos and chic details like oversize tassels. The Coach Legacy collection also features a covetable array of shoes, clothing, tech accessories - think sleek iPad and phone cases - wallets, and mini camera bags perfect for toting around to your next Summer music festival. Prices are a little more than what you expect from the brand, with smaller bags retailing from $178 to over $1,000, for ones featuring more exotic textiles, but once you take a close look at the supple leather and fine details you'll know why. The Coach Legacy collection, which also includes a men's collection (we spied a couple of backpacks we'd love to "borrow" from the boys), will launch in stores and online on Aug. 12. For now, get a sneak peek of the collection in the slideshow.

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.
