COACH was founded in 1941 in the heart of new York city on 34th street in a family-run workshop under the name of manhattan leather bags. Inspired by the design of a baseball glove, the company started off with the creation of handbags with similar design attributes: tan, supple, high-quality leather with high standards of craftsmanship. For the second half of the 20th century, COACH went on to become a world-renowned brand and a pioneer of the leathergoods industry, establishing itself as the original American house of leather. COACH today is a new York design house of modern luxury accessories and lifestyle brands, pairing exceptional leathers and materials with innovative design.
