The range of bags from the Coach Spring 2009 Women’s Collection has been raved by fashion addicts as the fashion house's most delightful to date.

Notable collections include the ultra femme and edgy Parker, vintage Bonnie and refreshing Madison. Parker features its Nappa leather Shoulder Bag and Satchel, and oversized bags, all of which come in whimsical, bold pastel colours and embellished with cold brass and silver hardware, a study in feminine toughness. Their round, unstructured silhouettes are also a snug sight. The Parker Shoulder Flap for evening dates is delivered in rose gold hardware, luxe silver python, and delicate Karung snakeskin.

Bonnie is also another highlight: it updates Coach’s vintage appeal with a modern twist. With the essential lady’s bag, it also includes new foldover convertible and crossbody bags as well as evening totes. Constructed with a strong dose of leather and metallic fabrics and with ladylike touches on its zippers, straps and handles, the structured bags emphasize expensive taste with a playful touch.

The Madison series in Spring 2009 is an elevated version of the Madison Collection launched earlier this year in October. Softer silhouettes have been introduced for gentler, feminine impression.The Coach Spring 2009 collection emphasizes tender shapes and colours put adjacent to a generous dose of luxurious materials, hinting at a playful approach to expensive taste.
