Originally from the United States and now based in London, Emily has been a fan of the iconic American brand since she was a child. Witnessing Emily’s passion for the brand, Coach approached her about a design collaboration and invited her to its New York headquarters to design a bag.
Emily and the Coach design team wanted to create a bag aimed at fashion bloggers. It needed to be functional and useful, as well as aesthetically chic and contemporary. A large tote shape was chosen and key details incorporated, such as padded pocket on the side to hold a digital SLR camera and a sectioned compartment to store flat shoes. The main body of the bag is natural canvas trimmed with leather, complemented by central vertical stripes in blue and white – dominant colors of both the American and British flags. While originally intended to appeal to Emily’s blogging peers, the stylish design is suited to any individual who lives a life full of technology and travel.
Emily said, “Since being given the opportunity to design a bag with Coach, my feet haven't touched the ground! Coach is the pinnacle of luxury and sophistication. Designing a bag with a brand that I have always held in such high regard has been the most nerve-racking, but also the most exhilarating, experience of my life. I couldn't be prouder or more pleased with what we have produced."
Jason Weisenfeld, Senior Vice President of Global Brand Communications and Collaborations, said, “This year marks our 70th anniversary and as we celebrate our rich heritage, we also embrace fresh and innovative new ideas. We are delighted to have collaborated with Fashion Foie Gras on this project.”
Coach is a leading American designer of fine accessories and gifts for women and men, including handbags, women’s and men’s small leathergoods, business cases, weekend and travel accessories, footwear, watches, outerwear, scarves, sunwear, jewelry, fragrance and related accessories.
