coach for the holidays

The Coach Store on 57th and Madison

There is a lot of exciting bright color going on at Coach for the holidays. The store is beautifully decorated in stripes and bright blue, green, yellow, hot pink and orange, unlikely colors for Christmas, but that is why I like it. There is a pleasing richness to the interior design-inspired vignettes* they have created, like the one below at the 57th Street store, which are chock full of enticing new small accessories, by the way. If you have a major Coach store near you, I recommend a visit to beat the winter blues. The store personnel at 57th Street could not have been more pleasant. I think I might go back today and soak up some more holiday cheer.


*which I find to be playful like Jonathan Adler. There is a similarity in the color choice, the 'accent dog' in the window, the x-benches with trays on top, the zebra rug, and the way all the elements are combined. Could it be that Jonathan Adler is Coach's new consultant on the visuals? Or does JA and Coach have the same store designer in common. Whatever it is, both are very pleasing aesthetics.
