{ the glamourai for coach } it's here!
today is the first day you can pre-order my coach collectibles bag online!
coach has also released a fun picture of the lived-in luxury inspiration board we put together for this project (complete with the original sketch, leather swatch options, first reticule-style prototype, and a pair of my own sunnies tacked on!):
when given this amazing opportunity to collaborate with coach, i felt the design should reflect the many sides of my life and style. i’ve always looked to the far east for inspiration. this fascination is manifested in my collection of kimonos, paisley print caftans, and tooled moroccan jewels. the shape of the bag, especially the wrapped seams and tassel finish, came directly from the swingy simplicity of antique chinese lanterns.
at the same time, my inspiration is fueled by the sophistication and speed of life in new york, juxtaposed by quiet café moments and puppy dog walks around my brooklyn neighborhood. thus, the wear-everywhere, day-to-night size speaks to the uniquely NYC necessity of having a bag that works as well for breakfast meetings at balthazar as it does for late nights at the boom boom room. so often, changing in between is not an option!
i also knew it needed to be a beautifully neutral, calming color: one which would seamlessly transition from summer to spring ~ and everyday in between! finally, it needed to speak to my passion for vintage, and feel like something one might as easily have found at an antiques market as on madison avenue (though the luxurious execution obviously speaks to the latter locale).
coach enabled me to deliver on all these ideas, while maintaining their own exquisite commitment to quality construction, longevity, and integrity. they also know how to keep things fun, and are throwing a great big launch party on june 8th for myself, their other three guest designers (emily, krystal, and karla), and you! everyone's invited ~ i hope you can come!!
