Coach reconnects with Bank & Vogue for upcycled bags using corduroy

Coach has been upping its sustainability credentials in recent periods, from its Coachtopia brand to its collabs with Beyond Retro’s parent company Bank & Vogue.

Earlier this year that partnership moved into clothing and the two have just extended their link-up with a move back to bags, launching a capsule collection of upcycled corduroy bags. 

The collaboration “brings together Coach’s heritage craftsmanship and Bank & Vogue’s expertise in circular innovation, transforming textiles once destined for landfill into timeless, luxury accessories”.

The limited-edition collection features a range of “reimagined pieces crafted from repurposed corduroy, each designed to showcase the beauty of upcycled cord”. 

The two styles are the Patchwork Corduroy Cargo Tote and Patchwork Corduroy Cargo Tote 26.

The American brand said the link-up reinforces its “ongoing commitment to circular fashion, following the success of Coachtopia”, which it launched two years ago.

And for Bank & Vogue, the collaboration “underscores its mission to keep textiles in use and out of landfill”.

“Coming together in this way feels like a natural evolution,” said Steven Bethell founder of Bank & Vogue. “Coach’s craftsmanship and our expertise in textile reuse show how circular design can scale within the luxury space.”
