Learn the history behind Coach Signature.
Our Coach Signature Collection features our iconic double-C motif embraced by fashion lovers everywhere. It’s instantly recognizable, always on trend and never overstated—basically everything you want in a go-to handbag. Read on for the story behind the iconic pattern, including when it was introduced, the range of materials to choose from and how to style the design in your everyday wardrobe.
The History of Coach Signature
Signature debuted in 2001—the first pattern ever pattern designed for Coach. Recognizable by the double-C motif, Coach Signature styles unite our heritage with thoughtful design, durable materials and high-quality craftsmanship.
The result? Bags that are both practical and polished, ready to pair with anything and everything in your wardrobe.
The Coach Signature Collection
Our Coach Signature collection includes bags crafted from a range of materials—canvas and jacquard being two of the most beloved fabrics to choose from. But before you can throw this iconic Coach code over your shoulder for day-to-day wear, you’ll need to decide which bag material is best for your personal style and overall lifestyle.
Signature Canvas
Coach Signature Canvas is defined by its bold double-C motif—an emblem of style and sophistication embraced by fashion lovers everywhere. Sturdy and lightweight, Signature Canvas is style for your everyday. And thanks to its coated surface, the fabric is ultra-durable.
The Highlights
Smooth to the touch
Scratch-resistant
Sheds water easily
Highly structured
The material’s resilient finish will keep your bag in tip-top shape for years and years to come, ultimately lowering cost-per-wear (and proving to be an investment-worthy pick).
Signature Jacquard
Crafted of fabric woven with our iconic pattern, Signature Jacquard was introduced in 2001 (and is still going strong). Unlike our printed canvas, jacquard is created by weaving the design directly into the material for a rich, textured finish.
The Highlights:
Soft to the touch
Elevated, textured finish
Woven design
Crafted of recycled materials
Made with a blend of 46% recycled polyester and 54% regenerative cotton sourced from farms that use regenerative agricultural practices, Signature Jacquard reflects our ongoing commitment to helping reduce our impact on the planet.
How to Style Signature Bags
Go Bold
Coach Signature bags come in all shapes and sizes. If no color is off limits in your wardrobe, dare to go bold with a bag crafted of Poppy Signature (like the Tabby). Let the red shine against other neutrals in your wardrobe like denim jackets and black leather skirts or incorporate other bursts of the bright shade throughout your outfit for a cohesive style.
Prefer some sparkle? Explore Coach styles crafted of Crystal Signature Jacquard—defined by its shimmery crystal-embellished double-C motif. With a neutral, mushroom-toned pattern (and the perfect amount of glimmer), the Crystal Tabby is statement-worthy without feeling overly bold.
Neutral bags are anything but boring, especially when they’re crafted with our Coach Signature pattern. Choose a bag in a timeless shade like maple, black or sand that will go with anything and everything—from laid-back loungewear to sophisticated office wear.
