Coach’s Third Quarter Profits Rose 37 Percent – 22/4/10

Following the news on their expansion in France (see yesterday’s MO Down), Coach has announced a better-than-expected increase for their fiscal third-quarter profit.

According to Business Week, this sales increase was linked to their move to reduce their handbag prices, offering most styles under $US 300.00 - making Coach, in our eyes, a successful masstige brand.
