Handbags & James Nares paintings - a match made in heaven

When I first moved to New York, 15 odd years ago, I was lucky enough to come into contact with the artist James Nares.  I instantly fell in love with his paintings, they made me feel relaxed and energized all at once, in the way that a trip to the beach might.

While I haven't seen James in years, I was so thrilled to see this video in the NYT about his collaboration with Coach. What a treat to get a little peek into his world and his inpirations.

If, llike me, the idea of your favorite art ON A HANDBAG is too much to bear, check out the edition collection of canvas bags at Coach.   I'd be hard pressed to pick just one!  How about you?
