The Coach brand may not share a similar hierarchy with high-ends like Chanel or Hermes, but they are still high-quality luxury brands. How durable is their bags, though? Are Coach bags luxury items you can be proud to invest in?
The average reviews from popular online shopping sites and fashion forums indicate that bags made by Coach get better with age. There is a huge element of truth in this because Coach uses premium high-quality materials for their bags that last long.

While Coach uses a selection of different leather skins and treats them all in different ways, the brand also has a small selection of bags made from denim and coated canvas too, but mostly, Coach bags are made from high-quality leather with non-leather linings.
Anyone familiar with craftsmanship will agree that different leather types used by these luxury brands will last and wear better than others.
For example, Coach snakeskin is always more delicate than lambskin. But above all, I prefer the pebble leather because it is more robust (See the Coach Rogue Bag for example)

Like a few other popular Luxury brands, Coach seems to understand the idea of integrity and value as a fashion brand, particularly when you consider how it can be affordably purchased compared to the resale value over time. They are not doing bad for a mid-range Luxury brand.
But then, with longevity, one of the things many people look out for when shopping for a luxury item is the warranty or repair policy.
Can Coach Bags Be Repaired? Do They Have A Lifetime Warranty?
Unfortunately, Coach does not offer a lifetime warranty on their bags. However, all Coach items, including their wide range of bags, have one year warranty and repair service for which the customer will be charged a fraction of the cost for. But, as the saying goes: prevention is better than cure.
Hence, the brand sells products that customers can use to clean their leather bags. These products usually come with helpful instructions on how to clean the different types of material used in many of the various Coach bags available (some of which we will touch on later one).
Note that the one-year warranty on all Coach bags is for bags that were purchased online or from a Coach Retail Store. If the Retail store is far from reach, you can ship your item to Coach by insured traceable means like DHL.
How to maintain your Coach Bag to last longer
Since Coach bags are made with various fabrics and leathers, there is no general way to maintain the item so that it lasts longer.

The truth is that how long a bag will last, expensive or not, also rests on how you treat the bag during usage. For Coach bags, this condition is very important when it comes to light-colored leather or signature bags.
Now that you know Coach bags get better with age, remember that the lighter the color of the bag, the more care you need to take to keep it looking new.
Thankfully, Coach leather is hefty and a workhorse while still being beautiful and can last many years if taken care of. I have come across countless vintage coach bags that were manufactured two decades ago but are still sold by ladies today because the leather is still fantastic.
I can attest to the durability of Coach bags today because I still have my very first Coach bag, purchased many years ago by my sister.
