Coach's World, Reimagined in Barbie Scale!
The "Coach Barbie," a meticulous embodiment of Coach's world, representing American classics, is part of the "Barbie Collector" line, developed for adult women. Worldwide production is limited to 13,000 units, with only 850 units designated for Japan. Following an early release on September 7th (Saturday) at Coach Omotesando and September 14th (Saturday) at Coach Umeda Hankyu, it will be available at all Coach flagship stores and the official website starting September 15th (Sunday). Sales will also commence at Barbie Collector official stores nationwide from September 20th (Friday).
In anticipation of the "Coach Barbie" release, a web campaign titled "Barbie's Dream Bag" was held on Coach's official Facebook fan page from August 21st (Wednesday) to 27th (Tuesday). Participants voted for their favorite leather bag design, chosen by Barbie, from four options. Among the applicants, one person will win a Coach bag, and two will receive a set of "Coach Barbie" along with a non-saleable "Mini Coach Bag 3-piece set." The bag Barbie ultimately chose will be revealed on the official website and Facebook fan page after the campaign concludes, so stay tuned.
The "Barbie Collector" line has previously collaborated with global fashion brands such as Christian Dior, Versace, and Ralph Lauren. These collaborations are renowned not just for dressing Barbie in brand apparel, but for their meticulous attention to detail in hairstyles and makeup, successfully capturing the essence of each brand's world. The quality consistently generates significant buzz. We eagerly await the unveiling of the "Coach Barbie."
