Top Poppy Coach Handbags for Spring

You know it’s spring when Coach handbags releases their new spring line. For decades, the Coach name has stood for high quality leather goods, especially women’s purses and handbags. Since 1941, Coach has been making handbags using the best quality materials and the most skilled craftsman. And while the company makes a point of being trendy and fashion-forward, their bags become instant classics that never go out of style. In fact, many of the original Coach handbags have been handed down from one generation to the next, and are still being carried by women today. Even so, when the new spring line comes out each year, women line up to fall in love with the latest and newest styles.

The Spring Coach Poppy 2011 line features bright prints and patchwork styles in delicious citrus sherbet pastels. The look is fresh and young without being juvenile—the ideal handbag for the young on the go and the young at heart.

Several handbag styles come in the Coach Poppy Dream C print.  A spirited confection of lime, raspberry and orange sherbet Cs printed on white canvas. The Boho bag is classic, a gracefully pleated style that’s roomy and elegant at once. The nifty strap design conveniently converts from long to short instantly, making it exceptionally versatile. The outside pocket holds the items you need to access quickly, while the inside cell phone pocket keeps your phone handy without letting it phone home without permission.

The same snappy citrus colors enliven the Coach Poppy Dream C Glam Tote. Roomy enough to carry your netbook computer in style, it’s stylish enough to sling over your arm on any occasion. Like its Boho sister, the Glam Tote features an outside zip pocket and inside multifunction pockets and cell phone pocket.

The Coach Poppy line also features a brand new silhouette—the Large Highlight bag, which features a rounded top and plump, pleated body. Check it out in the Coach Hearts print on white canvas with metallic leather trim and a sprinkle of crystals to freshen it up. You can swap out the 6-inch handles for a 17 ½-inch strap when you want to swing it from your shoulder.

And speaking of swinging from your shoulder, for those times when you just want to carry the absolute essentials, the Swingpack Coach handbag is a slimmed down silhouette. It’s just the right size to carry your wallet and few essentials, and features a long shoulder strap for easy carrying. It’s available in a delightful denim blue, black and white patchwork design that’s young, fresh and absolutely distinctive, as are all Coach bags.

Angelina Jolie inks big deal with Louis Vuitton

Angelina Jolie just signed up to be the new face of  Louis Vuitton, in a slam-dunk deal worth nearly $10 million, according to E! Online.

The global ad campaign will reportedly be photographed by the legendary lens-woman Annie Liebowitz -a longtime photographer for the brand – which will appear in print-only form this summer.

The actress and UN Ambassador's stunningly good looks clearly have the ability to rake in cash. This is her second major luxury endorsement , the most recent was for St. John, which ended last year, and is said to be her most lucrative deal to date

Jolie also designs a jewelry line, Style of Jolie. Some other famous faces of Vuitton have included Madonna, Jennifer Lopez and Scarlett Johansson.
The 35-year-old beauty and mom of six is a fan of the French mega-label, and is frequently seen toting bags bearing the iconic monogram. Now that this big deal has been inked, I am willing to bet that we will see much more of the LV logo with Jolie, what to you think?

The Many Types of Coach Handbags

The company that makes Coach Handbags started as a small family business in 1941. In the seven decades since, the little company has grown into one of the world’s best known and most respected handbag brands. Women don’t buy a Coach bag, they invest in one. The company offers a number of collections of purses and accessories, including Coach wallets and accessories. They range from classic and high fashion to the young, fresh Coach Poppy line.

Each season, Coach releases new styles and retires some older ones, but the company does maintain many of the classic purses that never go out of style. From clutch purses to hobo bags and from patent leather to canvas, there’s literally a Coach bag for every taste. The most popular styles come in many materials and colors, and are frequently updated with fresh updates to keep them in tune with today’s woman. The most popular styles include:

Totes

The quintessential big, fashionable bag for the woman on the go, the Coach Tote silhouette is roomy, vaguely rectangular and features double handles for carrying. It’s a fashionable choice for a busy woman because it’s big enough to carry all the essentials, polished enough to make a clear style statement.

Shoulder Bags

Popularized in the 1960s and 1970s when women needed their hands free, shoulder bags come in a variety of silhouettes. They have one thing in common—long straps designed to be worn over the shoulder. The styles range from hobo bags to the newest silhouette, the highlight bag. The funky shape is modern and fresh, wider at the bottom than the top, with a rounded top edge and convertible strap and handles.

Wristlet

Sometimes you don’t want to carry much with you. The wristlet style is a classic clutch purse that fits just enough for a night on the town.  It holds your driver’s license, a credit card, lipstick and some cash, all wrapped up in dozens of different styles and colors. Most feature a strap that slides over your wrist, but many women tuck a wristlet inside a matching larger purse. It’s the ideal solution to today’s grab-and-go lifestyle.  You can grab your wristlet and lock your purse in the car when you’re heading in from the office to a night of dancing.

These days, there’s more to the Coach name than just Coach Handbags. Check out the full selection of bags, purses, wallets and fun accessories online.
