Pride Month is a significant celebration that holds immense importance in promoting inclusion, raising awareness, and fostering a sense of belonging for the LGBTQIA+ community. It serves as a powerful reminder of the progress made towards equality and the ongoing battle for more of those human rights to be granted. This Pride Month will surely be one to remember, and Coach is making sure of it! In celebration of Pride, the brand has dropped its newest Pride collection and campaign. The collection features colorways mirroring the colors of the LGBTQIA+ flag on Coach’s most loved bags, clothing, and other accessories. Even the iconic Tabby bag got a Pride update! From knit tank tops, platform sandals, and bucket hats with rainbow trimmings and rainbow monograms, the joy and celebration of Pride shine through.
Coach is also celebrating ten years of their Coach Foundation in partnership with the Hetrick-Martin Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to LGBTQIA+ youth. The celebrated fashion house is also celebrating it’s continuing partnership with Point Foundation and CenterLink: The Community of LGBTQ+ Centers. Coach’s mission to make sure that all queer youth get the support they need is inspiring and honestly a breath of fresh air to see.
