Coach
Inc. is an American leather goods company.
Coach
began more than half of a century ago as a family-run workshop in
a Manhattan loft. Six artisans handcrafted a collection of high-quality
leathergoods using skills passed down from generation to generation.
Discerning consumers soon began to seek out the high standards of
Coach workmanship.
The founder
of Coach was first inspired by a baseball glove when he saw its distinctive
markings and how supple it became with use. After refining it, making
it softer and stronger, he created Coach's first handbag. Since then,
innovations in leather finishes, new grains and colors, and modern
materials continue to fascinate us. But this glove-tanned leather
remains a Coach tradition. And it still burnishes as beautifully
as it did back when Babe Ruth played baseball.
Throughout
the years, Coach has maintained the highest standards of workmanship
and materials. Now, greatly expanded, Coach's exceptional workforce
is committed to carefully upholding the principles of quality and
integrity which made the company great. Today, Coach is considered
a classic part of the landscape of American design. |
