I have such fond memories of the Coach brand from the early 80s when I was in middle and high school. Those handbags were made in a factory in Manhattan. That some factory used to make leather baseball gloves hence the name. The brand changed into something unrecognizable for me a long time ago.

I have an old coach bag and a new coach bag. No comparison. I used to have a briefcase and mildly regret selling it but not in biz anymore so no need.

I think Tapestry is the store but they will carry items that are Coach and kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman

No, the parent company Coach is re-branding becoming Tapestry . Coach will be one of the brands sold under Tapestry's s umbrella

The Coach brand will continue as it always was.

From NYT

Such semantic change has become something of a corporate trend. The
Coach Inc. rebranding follows Google’s decision to restructure and name
its holding company Alphabet in 2015 and Tribune Publishing Company’s reinvention as Tronc last year. Next up will reportedly be the Weinstein Company, as it attempts to distance itself from its disgraced co-founder, Harvey Weinstein.

Here is an article from a year ago:

Here’s How Coach Bags Turned From Coveted Classics Into Tacky Chaos

But times change, and so did Coach bags. They became more detailed over the years, their designs more complex and, in some cases, downright tacky ― and they just didn’t hold up against wear and tear like their vintage cousins did.

Around 2000, the company shifted its offerings from simply designed, neutral-toned leather purses to bags made of mixed materials ― that is, leather paired with canvas or nylon ― available in an array of colors and logo prints.

These days, the company says it’s trying to move away from such designs. But even as it begins to offer more basic, vintage-inspired products, Coach’s website also sells new designs with intricate embroidery, contrast stitching, studs, fringe and bright patterns.

Meanwhile, Coach’s customers have actually started turning away from the mixed-material, logo-centric designs the company peddled ― very successfully ― throughout the 2000s. Sales over the past two years declined by $200 million, and Coach’s fluctuating stock prices are fueled by uncertainty over the brand’s future growth.

Coach, in turn, is backing away from those in-your-face fabric “C” prints which, as of January, make up less than 5 percent of store sales. Furthermore, the company promises that its new Icon bags will “burnish and get better with time,” which sounds like a welcome change from its troubled experiments with flimsier products.

Here’s How Coach Bags Turned From Coveted Classics Into Tacky Chaos

When I saw sneakers with the "C" fabric, I put my bags in the back of closet, to be retrieved or sold as vintage later on.

I love hearing Coach is going back to well made bags. I do like the patterned makeup bags, though.

I lost interest in Coach years ago and was never a fan of MK, KS or the likes. There are too many other brands offering great styles that are made out of great materials that last, why spend so much on a brand that just isn’t cutting it anymore?

To me, most mid level designer bags (especially MK) look like any other bag I can find at TJ Maxx. The only difference is that they have a logo imprint or logo key chain. Not a fan.

I’ve always loved the pebbled leather look Coach offered. Wish I still had a few of my oldies. But agree the recent changes left me cold. I tried a MK bag once and absolutely hated the thing because it was so heavy. I do have a KS cross body bag I really love. Thanks chijim and lucystar for the additional info.

I dislike large bags, making my hunt for the perfect tan bag difficult. Love my new Coach...perfect! Love that the shoulder strap is optional. Has three separate storage areas for phone, wallet , glasses and pockets for keys and a lipstick. Just right for me.

Tapestry makes me think of Carole King.

A brand that was once lovely quality and is no more. It's a disposable fashion item.

I despised the newer Coach trends-pairing the khaki C's with hot pink or electric blue. And it seemed that every where I went I saw knock off Coach 'logo' bags carried by every overly made up, VS sweat pants wearing, long fake nailed, twenty-something in town. I too hid my classic Coach bags. Now they're all carrying around knock of MK bags.

My two faves in my collection are a gorgeous burnt orange pebbled leather tote and a wicker basket with a bright lining I carry in the summer. Neither scream Coach, but I love their quality and durability.

Miz Anglo, I do think you are mistaken. My new pebble leather bag ( see pic above) has all the markings of quality materials and workmanship. If I'm reminded of this thread in a few years time, I will report on its lasting power.
