Coach releases limited-edition 'Peanuts' purse collection

Luxury fashion brand Coach has a limited-edition collaboration with Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus and the rest of the Peanuts posse.

Everyone's favorite season is almost upon us: the season of the "Peanuts" gang. It kicks off with "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," on Wednesday, Oct. 15. But catching the timeless gang on TV isn't the only way you can indulge in holiday nostalgia this year. That's because luxury fashion brand Coach has a limited-edition collaboration with Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus and the rest of the "Peanuts" posse.

The handbag collection launched today at Colette, a French "brick-and-click" boutique, and will be available on Coach's website on Oct. 24 and in Coach stores on Nov. 1.

"'Peanuts' and Snoopy were a rite of passage for a generation and continue to be so emotive," said Coach Creative Director Stuart Vevers. One of Vevers' favorite "Peanuts" images shows a gleeful, dancing Snoopy. "I was intrigued by the idea of taking that image and playfulness but subverting it."

Don't expect a cartoonish replica of Charlie Brown's prominent pooch and his birdie sidekick, Woodstock. Instead, the images are subtly etched into classic Coach bag shapes like a sophisticatedly whimsical slouchy, black Woodstock tote.

Prices range from about $32 for a Woodstock hangtag to about $716 for the Snoopy pull over. The most expensive handbag comes in at around $665 on Colette.fr.
