WHEN DID YOU START YOUR BUSINESS? June 2004.

WHY DID YOU START YOUR BUSINESS? As a heavy traveler in my corporate world, I realized I just never had the right bag for business. They were never functional and always required me to still carry a handbag. Finding the right bag became increasingly difficult as our use of technology products increased. Then the airlines enforced a “two bag” carry-on limit and counted a woman’s handbag as one of those bags so women now had to creatively “stuff” their essentials for a business trip or end up in baggage claim. After surveying over 1500 women, it was clear that women were an under served market in need of their own product.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ITEM IN YOUR LINE AND WHY? My favorite item in the line is the Everyday Tote because it is a universal bag designed for every woman’s everyday use regardless of profession, mom or retiree. The bags style and functionality just suits the various work style and lifestyle needs of all women. The entire Coakley line inspires women to feel organized, in charge and on the go.
