Story:

The Clip On Pouch was developed as a compact solution for today’s on-the-go lifestyle. With wireless audio, portable chargers, and micro accessories becoming daily essentials, the goal was to design a functional pouch that felt intentional, not just practical. The project focused on how a small object could carry presence and purpose within both fashion and tech spaces.

Crafted in refined calf leather, the pouch is extremely smooth and noticeable to the touch. As soon as you feel it, you know it is something premium. A micro dog tag charm adds a discreet nod to Coach’s legacy, balancing brand storytelling with modern edge. A secondary version in signature coated canvas gave space to explore CMF direction, offering a more graphic and tactile take on the same silhouette.

This was a study in cross-generational design. Whether worn by the Gen Z tastemaker who clips it onto a belt loop or by the tech-forward commuter who needs a reliable place to keep their headphones, the pouch adapts. Its secure structure, detailed hardware, and clean zip-around opening make it feel substantial despite its size.

The Clip On Pouch is less about storage and more about intent. It transforms a functional object into something with personality. By blending heritage materials with street-level utility, it becomes a small but memorable expression of how Coach continues to evolve with culture while staying true to craft.
