Whether it’s for shopping or going to an important function, handbags have always graced the hands and shoulders of women. And, if these are stylish and comfortable as well as high quality, what more could one ask for?

Now you too can feel like a star this Autumn with Coach’s 2011 Women’s Collection, featuring an assortment of colours, textures and silhouettes inspired by the product’s traditional designs.

The new Chelsea Collection for example, is classically refined with a touch of femininity, modern clasps and an updated profile.

Chelsea brings back the leather-bound edges of earlier styles but modernises its look with an elongated closure.

Its dowel flap boasts soft curves and very elevated leathers including pebble-grain leather with the look of buffalo hide and natural tumbled goatskin. The bag also features narrow channels of suede inlays, as well as chain stations and amber-coloured finishes.

The Madison Collection also returns with an updated version of last year’s Sophia Satchel as well as the Madison Quilted Nylon Lindsey inspired by 1970s skiwear.

It has a shiny finish and extra dimension for texture and comes in several colours such as plum, orange, mahogany and grey.

Another addition is Coach’s Occasion Bags. It features a series of collectible compact bags for the party season, all with luxurious chain hardware such as the Sequin Flap Crossbody, the Fur Round Wristlet, the Fur Small Bag and the Satin Flap Crossbody. 

Intricately beaded purses with Bonnie Cashin’s iconic turn-lock closures include the Metal Jeweled Bag, the Beaded Bag and the Flower Bag.

The Pinnacle Designs and Kristen Collection are also in demand this season.

As for footwear, Coach has a variety of boots in different fabrics and textures to complement the many bags on offer. Every detail is carefully considered, from the metallic glazes and stacked-leather heels to the signature aglets that cap each shoelace.

Add some pizzazz to your wardrobe with a Madeline Suede Trench or a Fur Collar lined in tattersall to add a custom couture look to anything it’s paired with. If you are a ‘hat person’ then you will love the Grommet Fedora, Riding Hat and Fur Hat. Cap a very chic season with wit and charm.

Coach is located in the new extension of A’ali Mall in Seef. For more information contact 17581798.
