DALLAS – The shopmyexchange.com website is becoming more fashion forward with a renewed focus on the latest trends in handbags and accessories. Thanks to a new partnership with Coach, military patrons are now able to carry away the season’s newest fashion for a reasonable price.

The new Coach sub-site provides access to a full assortment of handbags, footwear and watches.

If initial sales are any indication, the Coach assortment is receiving rave reviews. In fact, since launching May 3rd, more than 700 handbags, 121 pairs of shoes and 43 watches were ordered in just the first 6 days of operation.

“The Exchange is constantly seeking ways to provide greater value to military patrons through unique partnerships,” said the Army and Air Force Exchange Service Chief of Staff Col. Virgil Williams. “This latest venture is just another example of how military patrons can ‘clutch’ onto great items at outstanding prices when they shop the Exchange online store.”

Authorized shoppers can access the latest collection from Coach by going to shopmyexchange.com and selecting the Coach Store listed under the “Clothing and Accessories” tab.
