A Coach bag is more than your average accessory—it’s a blank canvas for style, an ode to luxury craftsmanship, and an extension of your self-expression every day. But, with so many different types to choose from, how do you find the perfect bag for you? Before making an investment, we recommend exploring one of the most crucial elements: materials. The fabrications or materials a bag is constructed from provide the foundation to the design, and in turn, its look and feel.

Read on to learn more about each of the fabrics and materials we offer when you’re searching for your next bag.

Signature Canvas

What it is: Sturdy and lightweight—and printed with our iconic pattern—Signature canvas is style for your everyday.

Signature Jacquard

What it is: Crafted of fabric woven with our iconic pattern, Signature Jacquard was introduced in 2001 (and still going strong).

Nylon

What it is: Lightweight and easy to clean, it doesn’t get more practical than nylon.

Straw

What it is: For that carefree summer feeling anywhere, straw is an all-natural and delicate material that should be cleaned and handled carefully.

Denim

What it is: An enduring symbol of American cool and carefree denim is an essential part of our Coach story. Note that colours may transfer to other items, and the hue of coloured denim may fade with continuous wear or exposure to strong sunlight.

Canvas

What it is: Coach canvas is durable and easygoing material crafted with the everyday in mind. Note: colours may fade naturally over time.
