Ryan Phillippe is carrying the Coach Transatlantic Travel Carryon, or his “man bag”. Actually, it looks more like a very large gym bag from this angle.

If there is one thing that makes us SUPER excited at The Purse Lover is a new season AND new selection of purses.  This Fall, Coach does not disappoint with Kristin Collection.  The Kristin Leather Hobo in yummy Fall colors like Rasin and Blue Smoke is the perfect addition to any wardrobe.

The fine-grain Juno leather is soft to the touch while the fabric lining exposes an inside zip, a cellphone pocket and other multi-function pockets.  The outside front pocket is useful for extra, easy accessible storage.  The Kristin Leather Hobo is versatile (as every fashionista should be) and still extremely stylish with a shorter handle and a detachable long strap with a 22 inch drop.  Zip up the zip top closure and the new Collection at Coach is a chic go-to for Fall accessories.

The Kristin Leather Hobo measures: 14″  x 12-3/4″ x 3″ and you can get it at Coach.com for $298.00

On a recent trip to New York City I had the chance to visit the Coach flagship store on Columbus Circle. This is a huge store with just about every style of Coach purse you can imagine. It has two floors and lots of space to walk around and check out all of the goodies Coach has to offer.

Some of the new purses I noticed were the large plum and burgundy satchels. The perky mannequins were proudly showing off their favorite Coach purse and wearing some of the latest fashions for the Fall season. Yes ladies, straight-leg jeans that are rolled up at the ankle are back in this season.  Lots of rich colors of hunter green, plum, and burgundy could be found throughout the Coach store.

Upstairs is a large men’s department. My favorite piece in the men’s collection is the signature Coach messenger bag. This bag is great for both men and women. And, don’t forget the Coach sunglasses and scarves. You will find them throughout the store. You will also find small accessories like clutches and wallets.

Coach is showing some metallics and alligator prints in their Fall line as well. Lots of buckle accents on the purses and some tassel embelishments as well.

I enjoyed my time at the Coach flagship store at Columbus Circle. The Coach staff was very pleasant and made me feel welcome as soon as I walked through the door.

Coach Poppy Pop C backpack

Fall can most certainly be categorized as “Back to School” time, school supplies emerge, new Fall clothes are being purchased, and backpacks line the aisles. However, now a days traditional solid canvas and cotton made backpacks are a thing of the past. Flashy book bags with prints, sequins and designer logos are the latest and greatest trend to hit campus. Even Coach has its own backpack line; here a couple of my favorite designer backpacks this season. The new Poppy Pop C backpack has a vibrant multicolor print that like its name, pops! Shiny gold trim accents this bag which measures 14.25” in height, 14.25” in length and 5.5” in width. Don’t mistake this backpack just for show it has great functionality with 2 exterior snap pockets, one exterior zippered pocket, one interior zippered pocket and multifunction pockets inside.
