COACH X TABITHA SIMMONS, a collaboration between the footwear designer and Coach Creative Director Stuart Vevers, features Simmons’ first-ever handbag design. Simmons is known for her femininely detailed footwear collection – that is Kate Middleton approved. The collection combines two distinct voices in fashion, mixing Simmons’ eccentric and elegant femininity with Vevers’ vision of effortless New York style. The unique combination of their visions can be seen in the collection’s urban hiker boots and Mary Janes, both in floral-printed velvet, and the Coach x Tabitha Simmons Crossbody, a reimagination of Coach’s 1973 Suspender Pouch. Handpicked by Simmons from the Coach archives, the silhouette is reintroduced with florals, rivets and colour blocking. “I was thrilled to design my first handbag,” said Simmons. “I especially loved going into the Coach archives and seeing the beautiful leathers and timeless shapes from the ’50s and ’60s.”
