Not to mention that this year marks the eighth year that Coach has partnered with the Hetrick-Martin Institute, whose members worked on the brand’s Pride campaign. Advocacy-wise, Coach has already made donations to the Albert Kennedy Trust, Point Foundation, the CenterLink Community of LGBTQ Centers and the Hetrick-Martin Institute, all of which are dedicated to creating empowering environments for LGBTQ youths. The New York label has given its signature canvas the rainbow treatment, on top of refashioning its leather Turnlock Clutch (S$750) and duffel bag (S$950) with brightly hued stripes.
With its new Pride collection, Coach’s everyday bags and travel duffles now look as fun as its fashion presentations. Shoes Sports Bras Bodysuits Tops & T-Shirts Hoodies & Pullovers Jackets & Vests Pants & Tights Shorts Compression & Baselayer Tracksuits Jumpsuits & Rompers Skirts & Dresses Swimwear Socks Accessories & Equipment. (Then again, this is the same week that saw the launch of both the Yeezy Gap puffer jacket and the Balenciaga Crocs hybrid heels, so maybe nothing we say can faze you.) Regardless, we’ve decided to get into all the Pride Month collections you can shop right now, and offer our verdict on whether they actually give back or if they’re a gimmick.
This year, we’ve seen the standard issue array of slogan T-shirts, sneakers and caps, as well as some surprises - including a rainbow jockstrap.
