In the ever-evolving landscape of fashion, Creative Director Stuart Vevers once again demonstrates his prowess with Coach’s Fall 2024 collection, a vibrant mosaic of heritage, innovation, and the unmistakable spirit of New York City. Held at the iconic James B. Duke House, the runway show was not merely a display of garments but a narrative of love stories, authenticity, and the dynamic essence of the metropolis.
Vevers’ vision for Fall 2024 transcends conventional boundaries, weaving together elements of American classicism with a youthful counter-culture attitude. The result is a collection that celebrates the city’s rich cultural tapestry, where romance meets reality, and the past converges with the present.

At the heart of Coach’s latest offering lies a commitment to sustainability and circularity. The (Re)Loved program takes center stage, breathing new life into pre-loved Coach bags and materials. Denim, leather, and shearling pieces crafted from second-hand materials are seamlessly integrated into the collection, speaking to a narrative of conscious consumption and ethical craftsmanship.
The exploration of heritage archetypes takes center stage, with leather, denim, and cotton garments exuding a sense of timeless allure. Vevers’ meticulous attention to detail is evident in the lovingly distressed textures and repurposed materials, each imbued with its own unique story and character.
Outerwear emerges as a cornerstone of the collection, with iconic pieces like the trench coat and leather jackets reimagined for the modern-day urban explorer. The introduction of the cardigan jacket, inspired by workwear aesthetics, adds a contemporary twist to classic silhouettes, embodying the dynamic interplay between tradition and innovation.
In leather goods, Coach introduces its New York collection, featuring the Brooklyn bag and the Empire Carryall—playful reinterpretations of legacy silhouettes infused with a sense of whimsy and charm. The Times Square Tabby bag, adorned with love-worn, washed nappa and velvet, pays homage to the city’s vibrant energy, while charms inspired by New York souvenirs add a touch of whimsical nostalgia.

For Vevers, the Fall 2024 collection is more than just a sartorial statement—it’s a celebration of New York’s diverse tapestry of love stories and spontaneous moments. The runway presentation, adorned with archival-inspired Coach décor, invites guests into a world where intimacy and self-expression reign supreme.
Street-casted models, juxtaposed against the backdrop of The James B. Duke House, embody the eclectic spirit of New York, each contributing to a narrative of inclusivity and diversity. The soundtrack, featuring reinterpretations of “Moon River” by music director Fabrizio Moretti of The Strokes, sets the stage for a sensory journey through the city’s romantic vistas and bustling streets.
As guests immerse themselves in the world of collection, they are invited to embrace the beauty of imperfection and the thrill of exploration.
