Snooping around with Coach

Coach X Peanuts is another collaboration with the estate of cartoonist Charles M Schulz. Coach creative director Stuart Vevers has put Charlie Brown’s pet beagle Snoopy and his avian pal Woodstock on satchels, totes, duffle bags, backpacks and other items. The figures are embossed and printed on tanned cowhide in white, black, blue, Woodstock yellow and heritage saddle. Black-and-white versions of the Campus Backpack and Pack call to mind Schulz’s original pen-and-ink drawings. Each bag has the signature Coach Storypatch. Other accessories include folios, wallets, hangtags, key fobs, turn-lock bracelets, buttons, and leather Snoopy dolls.

 

Top shades from Chanel

Chanel’s autumn-winter eyewear lines revisit its iconic quilting, chain and tweed. Translucent acetate frames come in frosty Glacier Blue, Sea Green, Dusky Pink or Marron Glace and in oval, square, rectangular and cat-eye shapes finished with quilted temples. Or go with the Chain line with metal chain in silver, gold or ruthenium at the temples and over-caps of quilted calfskin or acetate. The Tweed collection has matt acetate shot through with a tweed-weave effect on feminine butterfly frames or the more masculine rectangular models.

 

Stalking the |right moment

Ralph Lauren’s RL67 Safari Chronometer with a camouflage-pattern dial is a striking addition to the Safari collection launched in 1984. It fuses the spirit of travel and adventure with timeless elegance in a case of 39 or 45mm with an aged, blackened-steel finish. Inside is the RL300-1 self-winding chronometer movement. The strap is olive-green alligator skin.
