Coach is very selective about how they distribute their products. They have authorized stores and outlet stores, as well as catalogs and a company website (Coach, 2012). They also allow some department stores to carry their products, as well as catalogues and specialty stores (Coach, 2012). A few duty free locations also have Coach bags (Coach, 2012). This is clearly stated on their website in an effort to dissuade people from purchasing a Coach handbag in a way that is illegal. It can also help prevent people from purchasing something they think is a Coach handbag but finding out later it is a copy or a fake.

There should be some exclusively with the Coach brand, and that can only be created and maintained by controlling what stores and locations can carry the Coach brand. Doing this allows the company better marketability when targeting specific groups or areas of a target market, such as upscale consumers.
