The Coach Tribeca Collection

J Budd, RN
Named after one of the trendiest neighborhoods in New York City, The Tribeca Collection is the latest line of handbags and accessories made by luxury designer Coach. Unlike the quirky and colorful Poppy Collection, the Coach Tribeca Collection is a more conservative line better suited for the professional, yet stylish woman.

Where is TriBeCca New York?

TriBeCa is located in lower Manhattan and runs from the Hudson River to Broadway and Canal to Vesey Street. It is a huge center of finance, the arts (like the TriBeCa Film Festival), and fashion in New York City, as well as home to such stars as Robert DeNiro and Uma Thurman. Although it suffered financially after the events of September 11th 2001, TriBeCa was able to rebound into one of the more prosperous sections of lower Manhattan thanks to government grants and a public relations push to attract new residents and businesses. If you are wondering why the name TriBeCa is written the way it is, that's because it's a combination of the words "TRIangle BElow Canal Street."

The Coach Tribeca Collection Line

The Coach Tribeca Collection is limited to the more functional products: a tote bag, shoulder bag, clutch, swingpack, wallet, and wristlet. The color choices are neutral, except for some items in patent leather, which are available in berry (deep purple) and pink.

The Coach Tribeca Collection features 3 horizontally stitched block stripes on all bags and wristlets. The Coach horse and carriage logo plaque is located on the front of each item in the Tribeca Collection except wallets. Most items in the Coach Tribeca Collection are either leather or patent leather or fabric with the Op Art Coach logo design. The clutch and cross body bags are not available in the Op Art design, while the swingpacks are only available in Op Art design.
