Coach wants you to wear your TBR on your handbag
Forget posturing on Goodreads, Coach’s latest campaign posits dangling your current and prospective reads from your Tabby (or Booklyn!). The American handbag brand has released a series of readable book charms, with the miniature leather-bound tomes able to be read on the go. The collection comprises twelve readable book charms, with title highlights including Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, Maya Angelou’s I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Jandy Nelson’s I’ll Give You the Sun, and Natsu Miyashita’s The, each of which was selected for its narratives around self-expression and chosen collaboratively with Gen Z consumers worldwide.
To bring the book charms to life, Coach worked with Penguin Random House in the US and independent publishers across China, Japan, and Korea, as well as Gen Z social-first book club platform Sunnie, part of Reece Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine.
To mark the occasion, Coach has released two films accompanying the campaign, starring the likes of Elle Fanning and Storm Reid.

Boots and all; Jimmy Choo showcases Autumn 2026 collection in Milan
Jimmy Choo presented its Autumn 2026 collection at Milan Fashion Week, within a multi-room set that interpreted creative director Sandra Choi’s London design studio, weaving a narrative that depicts what goes into each collection. An ode to the boot, the Autumn 2026 spans every facet of Jimmy Choo boots; from low-heeled knee-high styles and stacked Western boots to tough biker boots and delicate lace stiletto calf boots.
“I started with a very precise intention; I was drawn to the idea of dressing the leg, extending our canvas,” Sandra Choi, creative director of Jimmy Choo, explained of the collection. “Boots are the focus for this collection; I love the youthful, confident energy they give to women. They are practical, but they are also transformative. And I wanted to translate that spirit into the rest of the collection. It’s an assertive take on glamour inspired by our heritage.”
