Do Coach Images Portray an Up Market Brand?

Coach is a very well known handbag brand and you can easily find these bags for sale in department stores all over the world. Coach now sells apparel, shoes and travel bags in addition to sunglasses and scarves. From the time that this American brand was introduced in 1941, it has become known for the quality of its workmanship. However, there have always been problems with the Coach images available in the media.

Coach is a brand that has never been able to break into the top rung of the handbag manufacturers in spite of the fact that its bags may have the same good quality as the others, and possibly even more. The reason for this is very possibly Coach’s own definition of its personality. This company claims to provide classic American style through its handbags and products.

The Coach images available in their advertising campaigns are all in synch with this statement. These photographs tend to have a very casual feel about them and they do not look like the models are posing at all. It definitely looks very American and hip and casual, but the advertising does not display very much of the quality of the product and the effort that went into making it.

Coach is very much the brand to buy if you are looking to purchase your first designer handbag. It is particularly popular with teenagers who cannot afford to splurge on a bag from Gucci or Dolce & Gabbana just quite yet. Coach handbags tend to be more affordable than their super luxury counterparts even though they do not compromise on the quality of the raw materials and the attention to detail while manufacturing the bags. These bags certainly represent excellent value for money although the Coach images in public perception finds it difficult to rise beyond this level. Value for money is not something that one normally associates with luxury brands and therefore Coach is losing out with regards to its image.

Fans of this brand continue to stick with it because they are more than happy with the image it portrays. These days, one can find really expensive Coach bags as well because the company is catering to a changing demographics. Devoted customers, numbering quite a few Hollywood stars in their ranks, prefer to stay with this brand even if they can afford more expensive ones. There are some bags that retail at more than a thousand dollars and they have no shortage of takers. This indicates that the old Coach images in the public perception are being replaced with newer ones that portray it as a luxury brand.

Coach has always been a bag that delivers big on quality and if it can continue to do so while satisfying the aspirational needs of its customers, it will be able to command higher prices. It is always a dream for every woman to hang these branded bands on the shoulder. It is of course a wonderful feeling to possess them and especially if you earn them yourself!
