"What I like about this collection is that it's simple yet playful. I also like how it's positive and upbeat. The keywords I considered when designing the collection were creativity, uniqueness, confidence, and positivity," says Kōki.
"By doing so, I believe you will be able to maintain a positive and optimistic mind even in difficult times. What inspires me are the words "If you don't look up, you can't see the sky," which I always tell myself. So I designed a patch that says "LOOK UP" with clouds and a blue sky. I also designed a patch that says "Shining Hope," which is the English translation of the kanji for my real name, "MITSUKI." I hope that this bag will inspire everyone who carries it and lead them to a positive mindset."
The Coach x Kōki collection also includes a line-up of small wallets and bag charms. It will be available exclusively in Japan at Coach stores nationwide and the Coach online store from August 21, 2020.
