Coach collaborates with the cult-favorite streetwear label BAPE on a playful, animated collection that combines our New York attitude with the Tokyo-based brand’s bold, rebellious style. Designed for adventures far and near, this petite Academy Backpack has adjustable shoulder straps and an exterior pocket for easy access to your phone and other essentials. It’s crafted of refined leather and a disruptive take on our lightweight Signature jacquard featuring BAPE’s trademark Ape Head.
About the designer: With a devoted global following, A Bathing Ape—or BAPE, is the luxury lifestyle brand which catapulted streetwear into the mainstream. The unique name was inspired by the founder’s passion for the 1968 film Planet of the Apes and "A bathing ape in lukewarm water,” the ironic Japanese idiom that describes overindulgence.
