The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Coach was founded in 1941 in New York by Miles and Lillian Cahn, leather workers who started in a Manhattan loft. They make leather handbags, accessories, and apparel. The brand built its name on crafted leather goods with visible stitching and durable construction. In the 1970s, Coach became a designer handbag standard, competing with European luxury houses but maintaining American manufacturing. Today Coach operates globally under Tapestry Inc., selling through department stores and standalone shops. The brand ranks 13th among Gifts across 21,133 tracked brands, competing in accessible luxury where quality and heritage matter to buyers seeking lasting goods.
