Coach Billy Reid Collaboration.

Billy Reid, winner of the 2012 CFDA's Menswear Designer of the Year Award, has collaborated with Coach, the mid range handbag and accessory brand to produce a range of bags, and one rather fetching travel bar.

The buzz and press jargon from Coach has been blowing the horn particularly hard about the fact that it has the above Louisiana Crocodile tote bag, with a price tag of some £15,000, the suggestion being that Coach is starting to raise itself from the mid-level pricing of which it is known, however, this article is the exception, with all other pieces in the range being in the £200 - £600 price range, essentially Coach's normal price point.

The range has the same tote design in other materials, seen below, and various other messengers, handbags, and smaller pieces, a total of 5 designs, and a few smaller accessory pieces.  Reid has said he took his inspiration from vintage Coach articles.

The range is all available now in the U.S.A, and will be in the U.K. from the end of July 2013.
