Bold and Lively! The "Zero-Gravity" Bag



A collaboration item between New York's representative artist, James Nares, and COACH has been released. This tote bag, which can be called "wearable art," faithfully reproduces the artistic quality of the work on the bag.

Second Collaboration with an Artist!



James Nares is an artist who, since moving his base from London to New York in the 70s, has expressed "gravity and zero gravity" in various forms such as video, painting, and music. He is known for his image of drawing beautiful ribbons with a large brush while floating in the air, as if in a photograph.

This time, his overflowing creativity meets COACH. Following the first collaboration with artist Hugo Guinness, James Nares' art comes alive on the canvas of this bag.

The vibrant colors of brushstroke paintings adorn the canvas tote bag. The luxurious feel of the double-layered, durable Italian canvas fabric. And the craftsmanship, with seams kept to a single point so as not to interfere with the art's design. Every aspect makes this a bold and exquisite tote bag.

Available in four colors: orange, navy, pink, and green. The shoulder strap and handles are made of natural-colored Vachetta leather, embossed with "Coach x James Nares." The bottom of the bag uses vegetable-tanned leather in the same color as the painting, emphasizing the canvas design. Each color is a limited collection of only 175 pieces worldwide, each with a numbered story patch.

Jason Weisenfeld, Senior Vice President of Global Brand Communications & Collaborations at COACH, is also pleased with this collaboration. "When this bag crosses your path, doesn't it feel like art has come to life? This bag is a work of art itself."
