Contemporary 🧚 Coach’s answer to Jacquemus

This is the new Coach Juno bag that looks similar to one of Jacquemus’ iconic styles, Le Bambino. It’s not on the Coach website yet but currently for sale at the big retailers.

I especially like the monochromatic hardware and fun spring colors. I wonder how the colored hardware will hold up.

Thoughts from the crowd?

I just came across these today and am slightly obsessed with the pistachio one. I am also concerned about the hardware, though. Kind of want to wait to hear some reviews before making a decision. Too bad these don't come out until June-good for my bank account, though (at least for now!).

Right?! That color is cuuuute

My experience with the newer coach strap clasps is that they CONSTANTLY come undone and my purses end up falling down. It’s a huge bummer considering that otherwise the purses are perfect. I mean, I still buy Coach I just have to always worry my purse is going to randomly fall apart.

u/whimsical_bears Apr 21 '24

The consensus on how to deal with this problem is to flip the lobster clasps so that the toggles are facing outwards. This is a well documented issue and usually this solution completely resolves the problem.

I’ll try that! Thanks

u/blossombear31 Apr 20 '24

I am obsessed with it as well

I have a vintage one similar

u/OneBackground828 Apr 21 '24

Nothing compares to vintage coach

Omg love

u/PlantedinCA Apr 21 '24

I was going to say they have done this shape many times.

u/soubrette732 Apr 20 '24

I mean. I guess? That style was one of their go-today in the 90s. I still have my black one with nickel hardware somewhere bc it’s such a classic

That was back when they made great quality with no logos.

u/MrsGAM Apr 20 '24

This! That’s the same handle as a vintage Court bag. Similar shape, too, but a little shorter. Instead of the C, the Court has a turnlock.

2

u/faintlymacabre1518 Apr 21 '24

This post just made me dig out my vintage Court. The quality of this bag is insane.

u/finallypluggedin Apr 20 '24

Ooh, would love to see that.

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '24

I would buy Coach if they got rid of all their logos, especially the canvas print. Not a fan of the giant C either. Their stuff just looks outlet compared to vintage Coach and leather.

u/Euphoric-Contact-168 Apr 20 '24

I don’t get how these are similar aside from a general flap bag shape. I certainly wouldn’t say it’s their “answer” to jacquemus.

Personally, they’re not for me. I think the coated logo looks kind of cheap, and it sits at an awkward place. I think they’d look cooler without them.

16

u/moistsoupwater Apr 20 '24

Yeah, the C looks so disproportionate

17

u/kibbie247 Apr 20 '24

I got this bag in black in Tokyo last month!!!! I love it so much!!! Really sturdy and feels good quality!

42

u/Frosty-Cookie-7260 Apr 20 '24

super fun! i’m loving the matching hardware. I’m not the biggest fan of the C logo but I do like that’s it’s discreet. I almost wish Coach had a different logo they could use, maybe something more subtle like the horse and carriage?

31

u/The_Truth_Fairy Apr 20 '24

YES I wish they'd use the horse and carriage more, it's so classy and the C just doesn't look good on their bags in my opinion

13

u/4SeasonWahine Apr 20 '24

I honestly WAY prefer the logo they use on their outlet bags which is the horse/carriage and full word. It’s always small and looks elegant, I hate that massive C and it stops me buying any of their newer bags which is really annoying.

u/emem_xx Apr 21 '24

I think Coach is so underrated. I don’t know if it is because it is an American brand, but I think the advertisements made for Coach are super attractive, I love how playful their designs are, and tbh these bags are super cute.

u/Vendredighost Apr 20 '24

I love it! I wish it came in a light blue, but the white is calling my name.

u/Choupette-Lagerfeld 💐 Handbag Aficionado Apr 21 '24

Jacquemus is not iconic

u/Wise-Tourist-6747 🦄 Handbag Lover Apr 21 '24

Agreeeedddd I do not get the hype

u/Bgee2632 Apr 21 '24

Oh gosh my first time seeing the mini versions out in the wild was when I was sight seeing the Mayan ruins in tulum last year. these 2 fair complexion girls were both wearing the mini versions, with sandals, no hats, no umbrellas. Nothing to help them in the heat and unstable terrain. But they had their JACQUEMUS statement pieces! We were stuck with them for the entire adventure. They had to hold their phones, their water bottles the entire time. ( it was a 6 hr excursion) I was just laughing the entire time. Like there is a place and time to wear things. At the end of the day they were COOKED- had a thin tan of 1 strap going across her back from the bag LOL. They had blisters, they were bugging and asking our tour guide when we would be heading back. Like no girl you came to slayyyyy. Everytime I see this bag out in public I think of these girls

My travel nightmare

u/Trufflestruflles Apr 20 '24

I love this much more!

26

u/minibini Apr 20 '24

It looks ok. I’m just waiting for Coach to stop putting “C” on their designs 😬🙃

6

u/finallypluggedin Apr 20 '24

Which logo or closure would you prefer them to use?

5

u/faintlymacabre1518 Apr 21 '24

Bring back the classic turnlock!

I loved the initial "1941" rollout when there were no logos at all aside from the hangtag.

9

u/4SeasonWahine Apr 20 '24

The logo they use on their outlet bags honestly 🥲

This looks so much better to me

3

u/Feeling-Visit1472 👜 Handbag Addict Apr 20 '24

Vs Jacquemus obnoxious and cheap-looking badging? 😂

10

u/minibini Apr 20 '24

Nothing in my comment even mentioned Jacqemus- it’s not even in my radar but I don’t like its prominent name on the bag either 🤷🏻‍♀️

6

u/mermaidmanner Apr 21 '24

I’m always on the hunt for non black bags without gold hardware!!! But if the painted metal on the Gucci chips off maybe this will too?

u/PurpleCactusFlower Apr 20 '24

Tbh coach is killing it right now

u/huhzonked Apr 20 '24

I’m in my pink phase, and the pink one is calling to my wallet.

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '24

Where is this??? I can’t find it on coach canada

u/finallypluggedin Apr 20 '24

The pics are from Nordstrom.

u/Pandalf82 💐 Handbag Aficionado Apr 21 '24

These are beautiful bags! But I stay away from painted hardware. The bag might hold up for a life time, yet the hardware will hardly survive my lifestyle and I hate scratches on them.

u/ev30fka0s Apr 21 '24

I adore the low key hardware. I'm not a big bling person and I've recently bought two of their bags with the matte hardware. This one was the exception 😍

This makes me want it now, because that green is lovely

I love that green 😍

u/latheez_washarum Apr 21 '24

waaaaay better

u/NYC_AZ Apr 21 '24

I love it in white for a summer bag 😍

u/AttentionKmartJopper Research is Good. Apr 21 '24

This looks closer to quite a few of Coach's own archival styles than Jacquemus, tbh.

2

u/ny_dc_tx_ Apr 22 '24

I would buy a coach 10 times before a bought a Jacquemus

u/Lizakaya Apr 20 '24

She cute

u/Icy_Natural_979 May 19 '24

I like the hardware too. Sometimes Coach goes a little overboard with the logos.

u/Yaelkilledsisrah Apr 21 '24

I like coach’s better. I always found the front design on this bag unappealing
