Good Things Happened When Coach Met Rodarte

I love Rodarte. When I saw their collaboration with Coach I knew it was a fashion match meant to be. Coach and Rodarte are both iconic American fashion houses so it’s no surprise that this collaboration would produce beautifully designed pieces.

This ready-to-wear collection captures the Rodarte edge and the Coach sophistication. You still get the same simple silhouettes that Coach is traditionally known for but Rodarte takes it a step further by making simple pieces showpieces. Items that are timeless and forever in style for the wearer that prefers statements pieces that always look good no matter the day, the year, the decade.

 

Here are a few of my favourites from this collaboration:

This 100% lambskin jacket is everything. The hand-embroidered jewel-tone leather “sequins” floral pattern is mesmerizing. It’s one of those pieces you can’t stop looking at.

 


 

 

A classic Coach equestrian-style bag made from delicate glovetanned leather adorned with brassy rivets and metallic leather sequin.

 


 

 

The hand punched eyelets and leather lacing detail on this dress transformed a very simple look into something a little more interesting. It’s a very sophisticated silhouette, it’s a classic look. The added detail allows one to play at little with their gentle and edgier side. It also demonstrates that there can be a simplicity to boldness.

A classic Coach Tote with a luxe outer pocket detail. Simple and sophisticated, but not understated.

 


 

 

Made with 100% wool. More than 15 different coloured yarns are used to make the intarsia design. I love how this image captures the old by showcasing a traditional Coach bag. It’s a great way to bring the past into the future.

 


 

 

Rodarte is paying homage to another Coach classic with this screen printed Coach ad from the 80’s.

 

 


 

 

 

Who doesn’t love a Coach Wristlet? I have a few of them and to be honest, it’s one of the best things to pack with you when traveling. This one is made with glovetanned leather. I love the pearly cabochons, leather lacing, and hand-punched eyelets. Guess what? It fits a 9.7″ iPad Pro!
