Suria KLCC collaborated with Coach to host members of the media and fashion influencers at the Suria KLCC Media Indulgence Coach Men’s event recently.  Coach Fall 2016 Men’s collection took centre stage with four different themes namely Meet the Gothams, Classic, Graphic Cool and Meet the Coach Beasts.  Members of the media were also introduced to Coach “Craftmanship Bar,” manned by leather artisans to offer customers a chance to personalize their purchases.  These stations can monogram and customize the color trim on hangtags and products in store.  The specialists can also provide repair and cleaning services and advise customers on how to care for their leather items at home.  The “Craftsmanship Bars” will provide the finest leather services in an elevated yet authentic work environment — an experience that is uniquely Coach.   These bars have been rolled to selected Coach flagship stores in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, Shanghai, Paris, New York and the most recent – in Suria KLCC, Malaysia.
