Anna Sui for Coach: First Look!

Feb 16, 2012 @ 1:35 pm

Coach is teaming up with Anna Sui! The leather label tapped the New York designer to lend her signature boho aesthetic to the brand’s Duffle Sac handbags for fall, and she just previewed her limited-edition, two-piece collaboration at New York Fashion Week. “It’s truly an honor to put my own spin on this seminal design,” Sui said. One bag features a fleur-de-lis detail and the other has a dragonfly stitched pattern, while large tassels accent the vegetable-tanned, hand-burnished leather and brass hardware. Each Anna Sui for Coach design will be numbered—so when they’re gone, they’re gone!—when they land in Coach stores and at coach.com this fall.
