History

Coach was founded in 1941 in New York City as a small leather workshop making wallets and bags.

It became known for high-quality craftsmanship, soft leather, and timeless American design.

By the 1990s and 2000s, Coach had grown into a global fashion brand, especially famous for its handbags, which became cultural status symbols.

Over time, vintage Coach pieces gained a second life as people rediscovered their durability, classic shapes, and ability to be styled in both polished and edgy ways.
