Coach’s most-loved designs are getting an extra dose of affection with the introduction of a specialized leather finish, aptly titled Loved Leather.
To achieve this, Coach uses an innovative new treatment on either smooth or Glovetanned leather to reveal its true base color for an authentic, vintage-inspired finish. The result is the label’s best-selling styles — like the Brooklyn Shoulder Bag, the Empire Carryall and even the Margot Sandal and Margot Slingback kitten heel — with a subtly distressed look that feels entirely genuine.

Thanks to their love-worn nature, each piece is completely unique. And its intentional lived-in look means you don’t have to be too precious in your day to day. As time goes on, the patina continues to develop and natural signs of wear take hold, meaning Loved Leather products only get more distinctive and special with age.

While Coach introduced Loved Leather across nearly all its categories — purses, footwear, outerwear, travel bags and small leather goods — the brand’s cult-favorite handbags are inevitably the star of the show. This includes the beloved Coach Brooklyn Shoulder Bag, the petite Teri Shoulder Bag, the oversized Soft Empire Carryall Bag 48, the east-west Empire Carryall Bag 34, the newer Kisslock Frame Bag 27 and, a versatile favorite, the Emily Shoulder Bag.

As for current accessories trends, the loved-leather look perfectly ties in to the slouchy shoulder bag moment we’re seeing this fall into winter, as structured silhouettes and hardware-heavy handbags are making way for their laid-back counterparts. These relaxed styles go hand in hand with the lived-in leather treatment seen across Coach’s messenger bags, totes and carryalls.

Also available in honey brown and chestnut brown Loved Leather, plus teak Loved Suede ($1,200).
And Loved Leather is not a one-color-fits-all situation — It comes in shades of brown, tan, black, olive and white, with both silver and brass hardware. There are even Loved Suede and Loved Denim options, two fresh takes on Coach’s signature treatment.
