In hindsight, perhaps last season’s demure, ladylike coach handbags show should have tipped us off that coach handbag 2011 would be a wild, colorful ride through safari and Asian kitsch. Creative director Marc Jacobs doesn’t like to go in any one direction for more than a few moments at a time, and a collection with a strong point of view is always a good indication that the next collection will be just as strong, but in the opposite direction.
Instead of last season’s dozens of neutral variations on the classic Speedy theme, coach gave us loud, colorblocked clutches and small shoulder bags that screamed in artfully clashing technicolor. Logos were visible (this is coach handbags, after all), but other than a few clutches that proclaimed coach in all capitals, the famous monogram was less obtrusive than it usually is in the average coach collection. These coach handbag will surely leave some heads shaking, particularly among clients who saw Fall 2010 as a possible return to the brand’s roots, but they’re exactly on trend and so cheerful that I can’t help but like them.
