Coach began more than 50 years ago as a family-run workshop in Manhattan. Six artisans handcrafted a collection of high-quality leather goods using skills passed down from generations before them. Consumers soon began to seek out the high standards of Coach workmanship. A baseball glove initially inspired the Coach founder when he saw the distinctive markings and how supple it became with use. After making it softer and stronger, he had eventually created Coach's first handbag. Since then, innovations in leather finishes, new grains and colors, and modern materials continue to fascinate Coach consumers today. But the glove-tanned leather remains a Coach tradition and it still burnishes as beautifully as it did back when baseball legend, Babe Ruth played the game.
Throughout its existence, Coach has maintained the highest standards of workmanship and materials. Now Coach has expanded in all aspects and has an exceptional workforce, which is committed to carefully upholding the principles of quality and integrity. These have all made the company what it is today. Coach is now considered a classic part of the landscape of American design.
As an aspect that keeps customers satisfied, Coach offers a repaid policy. It offers to repair any authentic Coach bag or Coach accessory regardless of the reason of damage or disrepair. Coach products have a lifetime guarantee which lasts for the life of the handbag or accessory. The company charges a small $20 fee for the shipping and handling of the item and understands the wear and tear of everyday life on Coach handbags and accessories, thus they will do everything in its power to repair any discrepancies. When a damaged bag is sent out, an evaluator assesses the damage and determines whether or not the product can be repaired. This assessment is not based on the nature in which the bag was damaged but instead how it can be fixed. If the item cannot be repaired, Coach will send either a brand new item of the same make, a voucher for the value of the bag, or a sizable discount off the next purchase. Coach will only send the damaged bag back to a customer upon special request. Coach values the integrity of its products and prefers to not have a bag in disrepair promoting the Coach name.
Coach has competition which includes: Gucci, Liz Claiborne, Bulgari, Fossil and Polo Ralph Lauren.
