Like Coach Bags? There's Going to Be Shoes and Clothes Inspired by Them! Would You Buy 'Em?

Do you love Coach? If so, you'll be happy to hear there's much more to come from the brand, including a big expansion into clothing, shoes and accessories. "Coach is in the process of redefining the brand," according to WWD. Coach wants to change its reputation from a handbag business to lifestyle brand, taking on fashion forces such as Tory Burch and Michael Kors. "Instead of designing accessories to fill a need, we're thinking more about the woman, who she is, where she goes, what is her life like and how does it feel, to move Coach from…where you think of a Coach bag, to now when you think of Coach, you will think of a woman or a man and you think of their lifestyle," executive creative director Reed Krakoff told WWD. If you rely on Coach for your handbag fix, don't worry: the brand isn't going to stop producing the styles and colors you love. They will just serve as the inspiration for new clothing and shoes, which are coming to stores soon. Would you buy clothing or shoes from Coach? Do you still buy handbags from the brand?
