Poppy Coach Purse

November 15, 2008

The Poppy Coach Purse is a pretty purse featuring a red suede poppy on the signature Coach tan background. Other versions may have the poppy on a dark brown bag with suede leaf decorations. The purse typically has a zip opener with hang tag and the interior is lined in red with another zip locked pocket.

Coach began as a family-owned business in a loft in Manhattan, New York in 1941 with American designer Bonnie Cashin. In 1960, Miles and Lillian Cahn, owners of a wholesale handbag manufacturing business, asked Cashin to become designer of a proposed retail collection. As Cashin was initially too busy with other design contracts, she did not become their designer until 1962.

In developing accessories for her style of contemporary dress, Cashin dramatically changed handbags with designs akin to modern sculpture, dyed in candy colors of pink, orange, yellow and blue, and lined with linens designed by textile designer Dorothy Liebes. With a greater variety of shapes, colors and textures in her “Cashin-Carry” designs, many featured wide openings or exterior coin purses and pockets. Coach Incorporated is now considered to be a very “fashion-forward” brand and is commonly sold and purchased throughout the country.
