Coach and Rodarte are set to collaborate on an exciting apparel and accessories collection, due in stores from April.<\/p>\n

The 15-piece collection, reports WWD, will feature one handbag design, with the remaining units devoted to apparel. The collection will be shown to select wholesale accounts this month, with product slated to roll into stores in April. Coach and Rodarte declined to provide comment.<\/p>\n

It is the latest mash-up in Coach\u2019s arsenal of projects to reinvigorate, elevate and publicise the American leather-goods brand.<\/p>\n

In December, the firm revealed a contract tie-up with Selena Gomez \u2014 reportedly valued at $10 million (see story<\/a>). Coach would not comment on the finances of their collaboration, which will see Gomez appearing in Coach advertisements and on social media, working with the Coach Foundation, and designing products with Vevers. The initial ads featuring Gomez are expected this summer, with the codesigned product hitting stores for fall.<\/p>\n

Rodarte \u2014 founded and designed by Laura and Kate Mulleavy (below) \u2014 has long been known to collaborate with larger firms for commercial \u00e9lan. In 2012 it designed gift cards and cups for Starbucks. A collaboration with Opening Ceremony was launched in 2011.<\/p>\n

While the brand is known to design forward-thinking footwear \u2014 initially through collaborations with Christian Louboutin and Nicholas Kirkwood \u2014 it has yet to lend its name to a widely marketed handbag design.<\/p>\n
