Coach + Hugo Guinness Limited Edition Collection
So often these days you get artist collaboration collections that are more often than not just another avenue for generating revenue for the company (and artist) involved. Which is sad, really, since nowadays almost every artist (and his dog) has a collaboration with some brand released every other month that somehow just dilutes the whole experience of buying something special and limited edition.
Thankfully, it is not the case as far as the Coach + Hugo Guinness collection is concerned, a celebration of the whimsy as seen through his eyes as he draws inspiration from the city that Coach calls home, New York City. Featuring hand carved linoleum prints that are then imprinted into all manner of totes and SLGs, the imagery is uniquely NYC, from coffee cups to sunglasses and boxing gloves to handcuffs.
The reversible totes are casual and fun, featuring a coffee cup on one and a boxer on another, fabric on the printed side, leather on the other. Retailing for SGD875 a pop, they won’t break your bank either, just the perfect bag for lugging around the laptop and all those work files. Or gym gear, it’s your choice really.
Other pieces in the limited edition collection that is now available for sale at Coach Paragon in Singapore include zip wallets in two sizes (SGD315 and SGD525 each), a sunglasses case (SGD315) as well as a key fob that’s priced at SGD145.
And as far as I’m concerned, I’m really keen on this tech case, which features a trio of zip compartments and the linoleum print of handcuffs at the side. Priced at SGD360, it is the perfect amalgamation of function and whimsy.

I fancy the tech case. Not loving the colour that much though.
Have a look at Paragon, I swear the images supplied are a tad darker than the actual pieces.
Will do!
Cute! How do I get one? (FB)
Check with your local Coach store? From what I hear, only selected boutiques around the world will be selling these pieces.
I would buy this for class if I have extra bucks in my pocket. (FB)
coach is on its way to simplicity-ville… love it!!!
I love this collection and I cannot wait to get one of the pieces! The leather they use is an aged vachetta, you can read about it online at Coach. It is much more beautiful in person.
Love the coffee cup tote, but seems rather pricey locally since it’s apparently only USD400 elsewhere…
Well, you can always buy it elsewhere then. At the end of the day, the prices will always be different due to taxes, rentals, salaries and so on.
I do love how everything looks, not quite Coach-looking, but very cool!
Am residing in Guangzhou, any stores nearby to get it?
Hey Benny you’re best bet is probably Hong Kong at the Coach store at Causeway Bay.
I like this. Monochrome black and whites are really easy to match with colours….
