Coach Bubble Tote

About Coach

Long synonymous with style and quality, Coach is a top name for designer handbags. Whether it's an elegant leather bag, signature jacquard hobo, flirty clutch, or summery tote – Coach has it all. Established in 1941, the Coach concept was born from the all-American baseball glove. The first collection was created from glove tanned cowhide handcrafted by a team of six artisans. The high quality, beauty, and durability of the original handbag line has been maintained over the decades, and Coach strives for new and fabulous designs each season, offering exciting choices in handbags and accessories.

The Look

The print offers a fresh derivation from the signature jacquard print and features an off white heavy canvas background with a blue turquoise (outline only) bubble print. The background print is whimsical, but slightly understated, allowing the brightly colored coral and fish appliqués (made with leather, suede, sequins, and rhinestones) to really make the bag stand out. The sand-colored Vachetta leather trim and chunky nautical rope handles are the perfect finishing touches.

More Features

While the bag is quite roomy, with dimensions measuring 14 x 7 x 12.5 inches, there are also exterior side pockets with turn locks for storing extra items. The bag has antiqued metal hardware that blends nicely with the leather trim and nautical theme. Protective metal feel are also included on the bottom of the bag to protect it from wear.
