| A few weeks ago, I had to go to the department store to see the bags for myself. I have to say that I was very impressed with the new styles and the workmanship of the bags. The prices, I feel, are still kept at an affordable medium depending on the material of the buyers interest. I was never a Coach fan until recently and what's even better is the less use of the printed logo - not much of a logo fan. That Rhyder 33 is definitely on my list!First, it¡¯s big enough to be regarded as luggage of sorts, which might make bag-resistant dads feel a little better about carrying it. Second, it¡¯s got two handle options ¨C totally practical. Third, the blue/brown/tan colorway is absolutely dad-approved, even in conservative households. The styling might be a little bit modern, but someone¡¯s gotta usher pops into the 21st century. If he¡¯s already conquered the iPhone, here¡¯s his next opportunity.What To Do: There is so much to see and do at Central Park, or any New York City¡¯s other parks, for that matter. Sometimes just taking in the sights and sounds is the best. There is so much to be seen and plenty of time to bond. Stroll by the boathouse or Sailboat Pond and stop to listen to the many musicians who come out to entertain parkgoers.At the outlets, product assortment will be the biggest shift. Only two locations will close, and in the remaining stores, the now-ubiquitous logo bags will make way for a wider variety of leather options. We¡¯ve heard some irritation from our Forum members about the lack of leather at the Coach outlets, so perhaps this news will create some satisfied customers. WWD didn¡¯t make it clear whether the logo options would be scuttled from the outlets altogether or just drastically reduced, so we¡¯ll have to wait and see.From the moment we entered the Coach Spring 2015 show, it was clear that creative director Stuart Vevers has yet to end his love affair with the idea of traditional Americana. From the engine sounds on the soundtrack to the flat, dusty West Texas vistas on the walls, the theme was much subtler in the bags, outwear and clothes than it was in the collection¡¯s surroundings.To me, the perfect dad gift has to strike a balance. You have to get him something that has a practical use, but also something that he might not necessarily think to buy for himself. A fashionable-but-functional bag sits firmly in that category, and although leather stripes might be a little out there for traditionalists, this bag has a lot of promising Cool Dad characteristics.In addition to the closures, remaining Coach boutiques will get a new concept that¡¯s more in line with the brand¡¯s new aesthetic direction, starting with flagships in major markets like New York City.If bags are your primary concern (as they are ours), Coach¡¯s big Spring 2015 push is an east-west satchel called the Swagger, which, by the looks of the runway, will come in two arm-carried sizes as well as a shrink-rayed mini crossbody. Take a look at our photos from the show below¨Cwhat do you think of the collection?It¡¯s no secret that Coach is in flux. After the departure of longtime creative head Reed Krakoff, the company has decided to pivot its public image in a more fashion-savvy direction. First, that meant bringing on handbag savant Stuart Vevers, late of Loewe and Mulberry, and allowing him to set a tone for the brand¡¯s aesthetic future. The next step, it appears, is shifting its retail strategy ¨C there are going to be far fewer Coach stores in the near future, according to Women¡¯s Wear Daily.The Rhyder is the essence of modernized Americana, which seems just right for this week. National Handbag Day is an American holiday, after all.Although the collection¡¯s western influences were occasionally visible ¨C a utility vest here, a swath of rivets there ¨C the end result was both softer and lighter than expected, down to the pastel metallics, fuzzy furs and little cartoon monsters from California artist Gary Baseman.

The brand indicates that it will move to a biannual sale schedule, which is in line with other luxury brands and retailers. In the past, Coach¡¯s sales and promotions had been more diffuse, and customers who are used to waiting for their discount cards to come in the mail for multiple mid-season events per year will likely be disappointed in the tightening of the markdown reins.First, it¡¯s big enough to be regarded as luggage of sorts, which might make bag-resistant dads feel a little better about carrying it.

They¡¯re adornments that usually signal the weight and heft of a product, but the Rhyder is unexpectedly light and easy to wear.For its debut season, the line contains a satchel in three sizes and both north-south and east-west proportions, a messenger in rich textures like shearling and python-embossed leather, and color options ranging from bright red nubuck to staid black leather.A few weeks ago, I had to go to the department store to see the bags for myself.

That Rhyder 33 is definitely on my list!Last week, Coach announced that it would close 70 under-performing North American stores in the first half of 2015, which is likely wise, considering the more fashionable and expensive direction that Vevers intends to take the brand. Just from my own observation while visiting my parents in Georgia, Coach has many stores in suburban malls with few (if any) other luxury retailers and little in the way of a luxury customer base, and while it may have long been possible to sell $300 handbags in those markets, Coach¡¯s desire to raise its prices to line up with a more fashion-focused product line will probably make sustaining business at those locations untenable.To me, the perfect dad gift has to strike a balance.

Do you have high hopes for Coach?Father¡¯s Day is this weekend, which might be a surprise to you because shopping sites don¡¯t remind you of it nearly as much as they do Mother¡¯s Day, unless you¡¯re a frequenter of the Home Depot site. I¡¯m not, mostly because I have nowhere to store a ride-on lawn tractor (and I don¡¯t have a lawn), but somehow, I¡¯ve managed not only to remember, but come up with the perfect dad bag gift: the Coach Bleecker Bar Stripe Day Tote.
