An interesting combination of colors.
Coach was born in Manhattan in 1941. Initially, inspired by leather that became more supple with use, much like a baseball glove, the brand crafted men's leather goods such as wallets, briefcases, and room slippers.
In fact, at that time, they used the same cowhide material as the gloves favored by major leaguers like Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio. This is the root of what is now known as Coach's iconic "Glove Tan Leather."
The new collection, featuring a pop color palette, includes gloves in six colors and bats in four colors. The gloves, crafted from durable "Native American Steerhide Leather," are handcrafted by "The Valkyrie Co.," a family-run operation in Massachusetts, USA.
Meanwhile, the bats are manufactured by "Warstic" in Texas, a company that handles many professional products. Using carefully selected wood, these colorful custom-painted bats are individually hand-painted for Coach.
This collection is available at four Coach stores—Ginza, Marunouchi, Omotesando, and Umeda Herbis ENT—as well as the official online store. While these are exceptionally authentic goods, please note that they are intended as collector's items, not for actual play.
