Coach yesterday unveiled its Legacy collection, a revamp of the brand's classic bags. The line, for men and women, takes design cues from iconic pieces, like the duffle sac and other bags pulled from the Coach archives.

If you're thinking these are going to look dated: think again. The new pieces are bright, bold and colorful. Blue, teal, red, pink, and of course, more basic hues, come in three sizes: large, medium and a cute small duffle.

Love.

I've made no secret of my undying love for accessories. Get me in a room full of shoes and bags and I will be a happy, happy girl. Today I was lucky enough to see the Fall 2012 preview of DVF's runway and accessory collections. (Read our runway review!)

Those fun bags that delighted us during Fashion Week were even more intriguing in person. Popped open, they reveal a fantastic mirrored component. So smart.

Breaking fashion news: Ferragamo did its first ever Pre-Fall collection this season. And it was gorgeous. Think luxe Hitchcock heroines on a train with chic capes, wide-brimmed hats, and skin. Lots of skin. 

I'm not talking about showing skin, I mean luxe skins. Croc, ostrich, buttery leather. The bags were pure heaven: croc train cases. Yes, actual train cases. Who wouldn’t enjoy traveling with chic luggage like this? Now if only I could figure out how to carry one as a purse and get away with it.
