Coach

Reed Krakoff has infused new life into the brand, but I think the signature stuff is nasty! Even if it's genuine, it looks like a knockoff. I'm a big fan of vintage Coach--late 80's to mid 90's--lots of heavy leather, great stitching and intelligent design. I have a Legacy Business Tote, pictured, that I love. The Soho line has some cute stuff. Sadly, the Chelsea collection seems to have been discontinued. I wish I'd been able to snag a turn-lock hobo in brown before they all sold out.
