Coach Company Overview • Founded in 1941 in Manhattan • Committed to classic American style, high quality durable leather & fabrics & customer service • Continued development of brand includes outerwear, scarves, jewelry & fragrance • Licensed with partners to provide watches, footwear & sun wear
Company overview continued • Multi-channel distribution strategy • Over 400 stores in the United States & Canada, boutiques within select department stores & online presence since 1999 • Global vision includes increasing international distribution while retaining brand ownership • A publicly traded company on the NYSE, traded under the symbol COH
Strengths • Since 2000, Coach Inc.’s net sales have grown at a compounded annual rate of 26 percent and the stock price has increased by 1,400 percent • Accessible luxury – still a designer brand but more people can afford • High level of brand recognition • Poppy
Weaknesses • May not be able to maintain such a high growth rate • Counterfeits may lower the incentive to purchase thus reducing sales • Only high levels of sales in the U.S. and Japan – very small international market share
Opportunities • Expand geographical sales mix • Lowering price points to reach a broader consumer market.
Threats • Coach counterfeits • Gucci • Dooney& Bourke
