The new age of New York streetwear was brought to Coach’s runway on Monday in the New York-based brand’s Spring 2026 debut. Tenured creative director Stuart Vevers continued to use Coach’s signature archive of leather bags in camel and plaid, building on previously established runway statement accessories and adding in fresh motifs for the new season. 

The runway show happened at Pier 36 in New York City, where the venue’s open windows showed skylines and vistas alike. Friends of the brand like Elle Fanning, Storm Reid, and Charles Melton were sitting front row for the highly anticipated New York Fashion Week show.

“For Spring, I thought about a delicate balance of polish and shine with grit, a pairing I think of as very New York. And by grit, I mean resilience, and the beauty of how the city comes back to life every morning,” Vevers said. “The glamour of the steel and glass made more beautiful by the bleaching sunlight, the patina of time, and the buff and burnish of life in our shared city.”

Along with familiar Coach favorites like the Coach Soho sneaker in new colors and fabrics, the Spring 2026 collection also includes the new Kisslock Frame Bag and Kisslock Barrel Bag, along with iterations of the Bleecker Bucket Bag and the first Coach Tabby Clutch of its kind. The Kisslock, along with Coach’s signature pebble leather, are also seen adorning the purses worn around the models’ necks. 

Aside from Coach’s signature standout accessories, the city’s skyline imitating a 2000s New York souvenir t-shirt found its way into much of the collection’s layering. Vevers seemed to take a few styling notes from Generation Z, with vests and layered up sweaters juxtaposed with loose-fitting workwear pants that created an overall urban yet bohemian energy throughout the collection.
