Coach's New York-based design team is responsible for conceptualizing and directing the design of all Coach products. Designers have access to Coach's
extensive archives of product designs created since the Company's inception, which are a valuable resource for new product concepts. Coach designers are
also supported by a strong merchandising team that analyzes sales, market trends and consumer preferences to identify market opportunities that help guide
each season's design process. Merchandisers also analyze, edit, add and discontinue products to maximize sales across all channels. The product category
teams, each comprised of design, merchandising/product development and sourcing specialists help Coach execute design concepts that are consistent with
the brand's strategic direction.
Coach's design and merchandising teams work in close collaboration with all of our licensing partners to ensure that the licensed products (watches,
footwear, eyewear and fragrance) are conceptualized and designed to address the intended market opportunity and convey the distinctive perspective and
lifestyle associated with the Coach brand.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, Stuart Vevers joined the Company as Executive Creative Director, replacing Reed Krakoff, who departed from the
Company in connection with the sale of the Reed Krakoff business.
