You’re A Good Bag, Charlie Brown

With a new designer collaboration announced at least every month, the whole idea of these collaborations has become less and less exciting (something we discussed this time last year). But every once in a while, someone will do the unexpected and really bring something unique to the table in this new-ish fashion category. The latest to do that? It involves a brand that’s just killing it plus a classic comic strip that you can’t help but love…

What if I told you Coach x Peanuts was happening? Yes, those Peanuts (Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Woodstock…the whole gang). Well I hope you’re as pumped up as I am because this collab is indeed happening and I think it’s one of the greatest pairings I’ve heard of in a long time (even better than Nutella and sea salt…one of my personal favorite pairings).

Whether it was the actual comic strips or the holiday movies, I have been a Peanuts fan as long as I can remember. I was one of those kids who had way too many stuffed animals for their own good so there are very few I actually recall, and one of those was my stuffed Woodstock. Man, I loved that thing. I don’t know why. But as an only child, Woodstock and I spent a lot of quality time together. So now it only makes sense that grown-up Jena owns a Woodstock leather clutch, right?

There’s a ton of fun stuff in this collection, and the best part about it is that it takes the simple aesthetic of Coach and adds a little bit of nostalgia and humor with the Peanuts characters — nothing too over the top but everything makes you smile (or at least makes me smile!) Plus, there’s other options in the collection besides bags…like bookmarks, leather Snoopy in a variety of sizes, luggage tags and coasters.

And if that’s not good enough for you, Coach even dabbled in my favorite category — t-shirts/sweatshirts. And they somehow make Snoopy look edgy, sophisticated and misunderstood…count me in for one of each.

Coach x Peanuts will be available on coach.com this Friday (10/24). You can view the entire collection here (complete with Snoopy and Woodstick gifs…hooray!) and don’t be surprised if my closet suddenly becomes full of Peanuts characters.

What do you think of this collection? Any favorite pieces? Will you be buying?
