Founded in 1941, Coach is a New York based company that started out manufacturing leather
goods. Only a few years later, in 1946, Miles Cahn and his wife Lillian joined the company.
They ended up purchasing the company in 1961. Soon Bonnie Cashin, a sportswear pioneer, was
hired to design handbags for Coach. Bonnie even designed pens, key fobs, and eyewear. The Cahn’s decided to sell the company to the Sara Lee Corporation in 1985. Lew Frankfort succeeded Cahn as president. New boutiques were opened in November of 1986; in fact, Coach began operating 12 stores, along with nearly 50 boutiques within larger department stores.
Now, Coach is a brand known all over the world. There are over 1000 Coach stores in North
America alone! Coach eyewear specifically can be found in select department stores and
specialty retailer locations. Visit Vision Pro Optical for a pair of Coach glasses today!
