Thankfully, it looks like they’re back judging by the fall look book online. There are some VERY CUTE pieces, and a really awesome app called Fashion Studio to put them together.

Once the domain of hood rats and people who actually shop for fashion accessories inside Disney parks, Coach has been making a respectable come back over the last several seasons. Though they’d fare better to leave the cartoony hip-hop sneakers and colorful urban prints to Louis Vuitton and Fendi, their return to their classic equestrian logo and overall “Weekend in Nantucket” styling is a welcome turn for the better. Part of what they’ve done is return to classic, clean styling and appeal to a younger audience, taking a few pages from Tod’s and Marc Jacobs’ books. I can’t recall ever wanting anything by Coach before so my hats off to them!
