Coach - One of the few designer fashion lines that is from the USA. Coach was started in around the 1940's, in Manhattan, New York City. Coach was originally run by six artisians, who handcrafted a very fine and extensive line of leather goods, among the most favorable being handbags.

Coach, sine its start has been seen as a status symbol, their high quality leather goods used by the most rich and famous, and highly fashionable men and women. The six artisians who started the coach brand passed down their skills in craftmanship from generation to generation.

Coach, was actually inspired by an old baseball gloves believe it or not. One of the artisians holding the glove, liked the distinct markings, and the soft supple feel of the leather that developed on the glove with use.

After they refined the leather, figuring out ways to make the leather even softer, and stronger at the time - the first coach handbag was created. That first handbag started the wheel sort to speak, and since then many changes to the coach leather goods have been seen. There are new leather finishes, new colors, and new leather grains that are used extensivly in the coach brand.

Although there are hundreds if not thousands of coach handbags and other leather goods available now, the deep tan color of the old baseball glove still remains a classic, and forever-will in the coach family.

Throughout the decades, coach has been able to keep its high-end luxury standards of workmanship, materials and fashion design. They dont plan on stopping that ever either, they are committed to bringing the world the finest leather and designer products, at a reasonable price, with the trendiest fashion designs to date.

A little over 50 years ago, when coach was first getting started, they released 12 classic and simple handbags. Over the years, as technology got batter, fashion and the world changed, they have introduced a multitude of much more extravagant handbags, in new shapes, colors and materials.

Coach is the epitome of the america culture, with its high-end fashion. Coach's handbags, whether leather or other materials, is made with the perfect balance of functionality and aesthetics.

Coach only uses the highest quality leather when making their leather products, they select only leather from the top ten percent, for their tactile strength, character, grain and quality. Coach tans their leather with a special process, in which they rotate the untreated leather in large drums for several days, in which it is softened a great deal. They are also enriched with natural treatments that are taken out of plants via plant extracts. Just like fingerprints, no two grain styles are identical. Coach uses their own unique and very slow method of curing the leather, so that it brings the natural markings of the leather to the surface, in this way each coach leather product is unique and original in their own way.

Coach has a few styles that it is known for, the newer styles being the scribble and patchwork designs. Coach's oldest design of leather products was the original bag inspired by the baseball glove.
