The 4 Flavors of Coach Wallets

Coach is a historic brand whose legacy of quality leather craftsmanship goes back to 1941, when six leatherworkers began making wallets and billfolds by hand in a loft on 34th Street in New York City. Today, the brand has expanded internationally, offering products well beyond their original roster and maintaining a standard of quality befitting the Coach name.

When shopping for a wallet, you can’t go wrong with Coach. But when you get down to choosing one, you’re dealing with four very different flavors.

Logo-Happy

Coach’s signature monogram C pattern is easily recognizable and often imitated, but nothing compares to the real thing. Show off your good taste with a monogrammed Coach wallet in a convenient accordion zip design.

Best suited to: High rollers, fashion cred addicts

Sweet As Candy

Though the logo is famous, Coach is equally well-loved for its use of color, which was initially implemented as an innovative process that allowed the brand’s leathers to be strong and sturdy, yet pliable and soft. A candy-colored wallet from Coach, then, is a testament to the brand’s leather quality, but it also gives your bag a feminine and chic touch.

Best suited to: Girly girls, ingenues

Classic Equestrian

The metal toggle closure found on Coach bags, combined with its horse-bedecked logo, gives the brand’s signature accessories a distinct equestrian feel, but the toggle in question actually has a more motorized origin. In 1961, Coach hired Bonnie Cashin as their head designer, who started producing accessories of all kinds and colors and introducing the toggle closure, which, she said, came to her in a memory of fastening the top of her convertible sports car with a single motion.

Best suited to: Inner aristocrats, updated preps

Sleek and Simple

While design flourishes and innovative structuring can be stimulating, there’s really nothing that can beat the classics. Coach’s bread and butter has always been wallets and their simple, unadorned billfolds are as useful and timeless as they were when they were first sold in 1941. Try a pattern, like camouflage, to mix it up, or stick to the classics with a warm tan.

Best suited to: Minimalists, fashion purists

Coach’s wallets are classic favorites for a reason. Find your flavor and snap one up.
