Coach handbags are here to stay, with their quality craftsmanship and signature designs they're a staple for every girls handbag collection. With a rich history dating back to 1941, Coach has evolved throughout the decades and can be instantly recognised by the labels logo and classic styles. Sitting within the brands portfolio of ready to wear accessories, fashion and footwear, Coach handbags offer us affordable luxury to suit our every handbag need. Not only does the brand excel in their core collections with the likes of the lust worthy Coach Tabby and Coach Hutton handbags, but they're an advocate for teaming up with like minded labels on creative collaborations. From Disney to Jlo here are the best five Coach collaborations.
#1 Coach x Jean Michel Basquiat
First up is the Coach x Jean Michel Basquiat collaboration. Making a statement with his neo expressionist art, Basquiat has gone down in the history books. Since his passing Basquiat's infamous art has gone on to feature on some of fashion's most established brands including Dr. Martens, Wacko Maria and Uniqlo to name a few. Starting his career in the 70's creating graffiti art in the lower east side of Manhattan, Jean Michel built up his reputation and after a decade started to exhibit his work in galleries internationally. With heavy influence from 70's punk and hip hop culture he was known for his signature abstract style and use of dichotomies in his work. Basquiat left a rich archive of his work after his passing in 1988, which has allowed his art to stay alive in the decades that preceded him. The Coach x Jean Michel Basquiat collection brings two iconic designers together for a collection of signature shapes with an urban edge.
#2 Coach x Disney
Two of our favourite things, handbags and Disney! A winning combination from the off, Coach's collaboration with Disney brought our favourite characters including Dumbo, Thumper and the 101 Dalmations back into our wardrobes. Combining premium leather, classic Coach styles and Disney graphics the collaboration was the epitome of luxury nostalgia.
#3 Coach x Guang Yu
Another talent on Coach's roster of collaborators is Chinese graphic artist Guang Yu. Starting his career in Shanghai and going on to study at Central Saint Martins in London, Guang's artwork is inspired by oriental themes and symbols. Guang Yu was among four Chinese artists who were invited to collaborate with Coach to interpret Rexy the dinosaur with their signature style. Yu, known for his abstract and brightly coloured art turned Rexy the dinosaur into a fierce graffiti like design.
#4 Coach x Marvel
Avengers assemble! Number four in our best Coach collaborations is one for the superhero fans. Among the plethora of collaborations Coach's latest is with the giant franchise that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Offering a 100 strong collection of hand drawn Marvel characters and cartoon inspired designs including favourites Spiderman, Black Panther and Captain America to name a few. The collection features a range of wallets, bags and accessories.
#5 Coach x Jennifer Lopez
One of our favourite pop stars from the past two decades, Jennifer Lopez is also turning her talents to the sartorial world with her first collaboration with Coach. An ambassador and member of the Coach family since 2019, the special edition Coach Hutton Shoulder bag was designed in partnership with Jlo and features soft pink and burgundy colour palette.
