The Classic Coach Tote

A classic bag is generally one that is considered timeless enough to withstand fickle trends, maintain its beauty over years (and often generations) and work well with a variety of outfits and in different environments. These types of bags are usually neutral in color, either in black, brown, tan, cream or some variation of these shades.

Many of the tote bags in the Coach collection fit the definition of classic quite well. In particular, the line's basic leather and signature fabric totes have earned themselves formidable respect for being "forever" bags – that is, carryalls that easily fit into almost any wardrobe and last a lifetime. Not only are the totes accessible and iconic, they're also masterfully crafted. This ensures that it's not just the style that stands the test of time, but the handbag itself.

Signature Scarf Print Large Tote: Coach Pushes the Envelope

Though Coach has never shied away from creative designs, the line is probably noted first and foremost for its ability to stand out in a crowd while retaining a sense of simplistic elegance. Millions of loyal consumers around the world vie for the newest and most wanted signature item of the moment. They collect colorful key fobs to attach to the bags. They wrap a scarf around the handle to give it a touch of European charm. They look forward to the next big seasonal collection. A Coach aficionado knows all about the beauty of a signature bag.

The famous "double Cs," as they are known, give the Coach signature a standout look. Though it's one of the most demure logos in the world, it's also efficiently chic. The most basic handbags are suddenly transformed with the addition of this printed fabric. Perhaps the most impressive detail of the signature print is its ability to remain relevant year after year without fail; this is a trait that can't easily be claimed by other prints, which generally go out of style quickly.

Of course, classic doesn't have to mean boring. Just a glance at the line's spring and summer 2007 collections proved as much. With the collection's Signature Scarf Print Large Tote, Coach took a step in a new, brilliant direction. In addition to being exceptionally bold and cheerful, the tote also features these details:

• Rich material with a light, satin-like finish
• Outgoing color scheme blending cream, beige, brown, white, gray and an unexpected shot of lime green
• Lightweight, without any hefty hardware to weigh it down

The bag's interior is as luxurious as its colorful exterior. It's lined with cream satin and tagged with a Coach signature plate. A roomy interior pocket allows extra space for smaller essentials, such as electronic devices, coins, pens and other items that easily lose themselves at the bottom of a bag.

Though colorful purses like this often lose steam as years pass, eventually reach an expiration date and end up at the back of the closet, the case is completely different for this tote. Its colors actually work in its favor, because the overall scheme is neutral with the slightest hint of bold color. They work well together, and they're appropriate for just about any season of the year. This tote easily perks up a neutral fall color palette, but just as easily balances well with a warm weather ensemble.

Keeping it Clean

Though the tote is pretreated, it's inevitable that it will require some maintenance through natural wear. Coach recommends using a mild white soap and damp cloth to gently remove any dirt of spots. In order to prevent soap stains, be sure to remove all remnants of soap thoroughly.

Where to Purchase

The tote is no longer available in regular stores, but might be found at a Coach outlet location. It can also be found on [eBay and Amazon.com.
