After skipping Fashion Week last season and side-stepping any and all major fashion magazines, Dallas-born Ali Michael appears to have adjusted nicely to her new role as Coach spokesperson. Not only has she been plastered on the front of the company's mailers, but the accessories manufacturer has created a new line of handbags named after the model.
The "Ali" comes in the form of either a slouchy hobo or a flap handbag. Both adorable and affordable (the pieces start at $298), the handbags are of the high school friendly variety. So, for those looking for a less trendy alternative to Alexander Wang's Coco duffel this fall may want to look elsewhere.
