Coach to celebrate 75th anniversary with new flagship

American leatherwoods and accessories brand Coach is to celebrate its 75th anniversary by opening a new flagship called Coach House on New York's Fifth Avenue.

Reflecting Coach’s “heritage and history of craftsmanship”, the main 20,000 square feet, three-floor retail space will open with the autumn winter 2016 collection later this year.

Designed by the brand’s creative director Stuart Vevers in partnership with William Sofield, designer and president of Studio Sofield, expect a bespoke façade and modern luxury interior that will include a “unique” shopping salon and Craftsmanship Bar.

Shoe designer Stuart Weitzman has secured the premises next door.
