Capsule collaboration: DFS Group teams up with Coach to launch exclusive collection

INTERNATIONAL. DFS Group has partnered with luxury leathergoods brand Coach to launch an exclusive 26-piece capsule collection. The limited-edition range was launched on 1 March and is available in DFS Group’s airport stores and selected downtown T Galleria locations worldwide.

It marks the second exclusive collection launched by DFS Group and Coach, following an initial partnership last year. The range features functional bags, small leathergoods and accessories for both men and women. Each piece offers a contemporary rendition of the brand’s signature motif, elevated with modern hardware embellishments.
