The idea behind 'Coachtopia'

Such is the case with circular fashion, and the focus of Coach’s newly-minted sub-brand, Coachtopia. You'll find an array of bags and accessories, as well as footwear and clothes, each made with “recycled, repurposed, and renewable materials,” available in limited drops at Coachtopia.
