Philippines ‘to become’ biggest branded bag supplier


By Charlene Cayabyab – As Coach International Ltd. sees the potential of working in the Philippines, it is no wonder that eventually, the Philippines will become one of the biggest supplier of the said brand worldwide.

This was said by senior vice president of Coach International Limited, Martyn James, during the grand opening of the D’Luxe Bags Philippines in Barangay Sta. Rosa in Concepcion, Tarlac which is part of the Luen Thai Group that manufactures and exports leather goods under the brand Coach.

“Philippine workers with their skills, dedication and drive have achieved remarkable growth and success for the factory here in Tarlac, where it has grown 20,000 units in nine to 10 months,” James said.

He added his company will be “employing more Filipino talents in the future following the Philippine philosophy on working on the rural areas and building a bigger and more successful business.”

This is because when Luen Thai became a major shareholder in 2008, Coach has grown the business 10 times quicker and bigger, James said.
