Coach Wants To Give You Main Character Energy With Its Bold New Drop

Self-expression meets high-shine metallics.

by Andrea Gale

With a new campaign like “Wear Your Shine,” it makes sense that Coach would tap an artist like Dove Cameron as an ambassador. The latest drop features bags in eye-catching metallics, playful textures like quilted leather, and edgy metal grommets and studs. The statement-making pieces are meant to encourage the kind of self-expression that makes fashion fun, while also promoting confidence and courage.

Cameron is no stranger to battling one’s inner critic. The artist was bullied while growing up and has frequently spoken about the importance of self-confidence, which makes her participation in the Coach “Wear Your Shine” campaign all the more meaningful. Directed by Lope Serano, photographed by Joshua Woods, and choreographed by Emma Portner, the campaign shows Cameron along with fellow creatives and Coach ambassadors Lil Buck, Youngji Lee, and Song Yanfei. Each artist confronts their inner critics, which they play as their own doubles, using pieces from the new collection to help them externalize their inner magic — their “shine.”

Ahead, you’ll find pieces from the Coach Shine Collection at Coach Outlet that will remind you to tap into your own personal shimmer. Whether you’re expressing yourself with the multifaceted Kay bag — a femme and edgy crossbody — or the fearless Charlotte shoulder bag, a baguette studded with rivets, the collection is ready to help you express yourself and cultivate a style that’s all your own. Scroll on to see the playful, confidence-boosting pieces the bold collection has in store for you.
