Cole Haan Handbags

Cole Haan is primarily a shoe manufacturer, and has been allied with Nike by utilizing their athletic based technology in Cole Haan casual and dress footwear. However, don't let the sporty connection fool you. Haan handbags are sophisticated, stylish, and unique.

Getting its start in Chicago in 1928, Cole Haan is the result of a partnership between two men, Trafton Cole and Eddie Haan. Originally a men's footwear label, Cole and Haan set a standard for well designed, expertly crafted footwear.

Today, Trafton Cole and Eddie Haan would be proud to know that their business has grown to include women's casual and dress footwear, belts, hosiery, outerwear, watches, leather accessories and of course, the chic and unique Cole Haan handbags.

Cole Haan Medium Flap Bag- a part of the Village Paillette Collection, this handbag has great detailing in the form of the metal paillette features. Paillettes are metal decorations affixed to the fine leather handbags in a pattern that highlights the strong design of the Medium Flap Bag. The paillettes add a certain edginess and sophistication simultaneously. The Flap Bag comes in Cole Haan colors like olive metallic, tiger eye metallic, cream metallic, and black.

Cole Haan Small Hobo Bag- another member of the Village Paillette Collection is the divinely decorated Hobo Bag. With the paillette embellishment-the metal ornaments Cole Haan handbags are becoming known for-this Hobo is far from basic. The Hobo bag is not nearly as adorned as the Haan Medium Flap Bag, but the paillettes do extend over the wide strap of the handle and add a certain flair to the Hobo shape. The classic Hobo softness is definitely updated with the paillettes' shiny detail. The colors include black, cream metallic, and tiger-eye metallic.

Cole Haan Slim Tote- among the best business bags on the market, the slim tote is perfect for lugging that laptop in leather-clad style. The leather is a sleek wax finish and lends an understated elegance to the Cole Haan Slim Tote that says "I'm not all business." With shiny nickel hardware, the expandable compartments will fit your files and then some. Available in standard business black and hunter green, this is a no- nonsense tote.
