Coach celebrates SS22 collection in Melbourne

The bespoke, hand-painted murals can be found in three locations: Corner of Elizabeth Street and Collins Street, Melbourne CBD, La Trobe Street, Melbourne CBD, and Caledonian Lane, Melbourne CBD.

“This Coach collaboration was a dream job,” said Jones of the collaboration. “It was exciting to start with the iconic Coach Horse and Carraige emblem and then re-interpret it in a joyful, optimistic way with modern cultural references for a modern urban landscape.
