In the new shops of the coach, the latest bag is made of cake dough and colorful shades of white chocolate.
The last initiative of the old leather handbag manufacturer is a coffee shop that offers Taby bag -shaped desserts, tiramisu and pumpkin flavored coffees, matcha drinks and more. Each shop is connected to a store that sells the coach’s bags, sneakers and other clothes and accessories series.
On Friday, the company opened another part of the Aries Coffee Shop – the third – in Mills, a Outlet shopping center, about 16 miles southwest of New York. The fourth coach will open the Woodbury Common Premium on October 3 in the Great New York City.
Every year, while plans to open about 12 to 15 coffee shops around the world, it is also added to the menu, turning seasonal food and drinks and selling special Tote bags and other products, Coaching Global Food and Beverage Vice President Marcus Sanders.
With coffee shops, the fashion brand belonging to the gobler, offers customers more reasons to continue to return to their stores, shoppers who want to build on the latest gains with Gen Z.
Koç Todd Kahn, CEO, “Today we understand that the consumer loves experience.” He said. “They want a complete experience, especially young consumer.”
It is not the only retailer coach that tries to create experiences for customers. Ralph Lauren Ralph’s and Restaurant, Polo Bar coffee shops. Luxury Furniture and Home Decoration Retailer Rh Restaurants around the country and even a hotel called Rh Guesthouse in New York. Uniqlo opened its first coffee shop in a clothing store on the Fifth Street of the New York City, earlier this year.

Sanders, who previously worked for Starbucks and Ralph Lauren Hospitality, said coffee shops offer a more friendly price point than coach products, especially for young people. Austin, in a recent visit to the coach coffee shop in Texas, two young girls divided a single ugly cake in half and saw the pieces together while recording a Tiktok video.
Sanders said that some of these young people do not have a budget for a handbag, but there may be future shopping. And even old customers have limits about how many fashion purchases they can buy in a month or year.
“You can meet a coffee more often,” he said. “I think what we’re excited about is that our customers can visit us more often.”
Building on gene growth
The coach is trying to seize the brand momentum that fuels sales growth, brings new customers and leads to stock earnings. The company increased the average paid for the products of shoppers at a time when many retailers trusted promotions. Bag jewelry is prone to the big Kisslock frame bag sold for tiktok and $ 695. Carrie Bradshaw carried this in HBO Max’s “Sex & The City” Spinoff “section and just like that.
The shares of the main gbles, including brand Kate Spade, have increased approximately 67% or about 600% in the last five years this year.
The coach won a special traction with a gene Z between 13 and 29 years. Retailer, ended on June 28, the last financial year, including more than 1 million in the fourth quarter, including 4.6 million new customers in North America, he said. The company said that approximately 70% of these new customers in the last financial year are geni and thousand years.
The coach also blurred the distinction between retail channels considering the behaviors of these young shopping. It has dropped the word “outlet” from signs outside the Outlet stores, and sells more well -known, full -priced products in places with more flashy targets, such as New York’s fifth street.
Kahn said that he started to try the approach about two years ago, but that customers competed in the nearest stores for a coach element they see on social media and added that he was not there last year.
“Covid, especially for this younger generation, has a return to shopping, and shopping centers and sales points are part of this equation,” CNBC interview. He said. “They see the image of Tiktok. They see what they want. ‘They want to buy’ they are like.”
On an investor day this month, Kahn said that he and the company continued to examine the likes of the shoppers, especially Gen Z. Netflix’s animated film “Kpop Demon Hunters” said he was watching.
Although the coach did not give a timeline on the Investor Day, he said it was on his way to becoming a 10 billion dollar brand. This will require sharp growth for Coach, which earns approximately $ 5.6 billion in the last financial year.
Dana Telsey, the retail analyst and CEO of Telsey Advisory Group, said that she has gained the ground by sharpening Coach’s marketing and by sharpening Taby bags or soho sneakers – developing products that attract new fabrics and colors.
In addition, ultra luxury bag players significantly increased the prices, which still gave the trainer the ability to increase their prices while it still appeared to be a good agreement.
“The quality and fashion aesthetics that differentiate it for me and allow consumers to say ‘value’.
Nevertheless, there is another reason to focus on protecting the coach’s pricing power. High tariffs will cost the parent company The next financial year, 160 million dollars in the year and an investor in August, an update that led to Sellloff Goblen’s wife has dragged the profit.
How does Coffee play in Koç’s strategy?
One of these ways will pass through coffee shops to increase revenues and ensure that customers come back. The coach first opened a coffee shop and restaurant in Jakarta, Indonesia. Sanders said it uses the Southeast Asian market as a test area, because there are a rapidly growing middle class and many gene z customers in the region.
Since then, he opened places in Tinton Falls, NJs, NJ and in January, Texas. Massachusetts plans to open new places with some parts of the Middle West in California, Arizona and Texas.
In other parts of the world, China, Japan, South Korea and Indonesia opened 16 coffee shops.
Coach North America President Leigh Manheim Levine said that coffee shops are designed to encourage the buyers to think of other purchases with their drinks or snacks. For example, the coach said that the best-known bags in the vision of customers’ vision-Toyby and Brooklyn, such as the vision of the coach to buy a coffee.
He said the shops would be profitable businesses on their own. So far, the goods have become a large sales driver and make up about 30% of the general income of coffee shops. Locations sell tote bags, water bottles, pins, sweatshirts and more, which are more expensive than a Latte.
Many, like a tote bag sold for $ 95, includes Lil Miss Jo, a cartoon -like coffee shop logo, which the company says that the company is inspired by the New York City Diners.
Manheim Levine said that the exclusivity of the goods is part of the appeal.
“They shop with friends,” he said. “They take pictures. They want to get things that other people can’t have.”

Manheim Levine said that most of the new coffee shops in the United States will be opened in Outlet shopping centers. Authorized, most of the 190 sales points in North America, the company that creates more opportunities for shopping malls, he said.
“We think our strategy is a winning strategy, but also solve a problem for the customer,” he said.
Sanders said that coffee shops have lasted stronger pedestrian traffic in stores and longer and encourage customers to eat and buy both. And sales in the coach with a coffee shop saw a double or three -digit increase in the entire store.
At the beginning of this month, a week, Desiree Aguilar traveled for about 10 minutes to visit The Coach Coffee Shop in Tinton, NJ, with his aunt and young cousin. Hawthorne, NJ’den 32 -year -old radiology technician Aguilar, especially because of the curiosity of the exchange of outlet shopping in a Tiktok video, he said he learned the shop.
After ordering a pumpkin spice latte and a croissant ham and cheese sandwich, the Aguilar made a turn around the coach store with his drink while looking at the new autumn products.
Im I didn’t have to hurry to get my drink, and I was just able to shop, ”he said.
