James Nares for Coach

 If you're a badass painter who swings from the rafters

 to create hyperkinetic dancing swirls of color

 and your art hangs in some pretty swank surroundings,

 aren't you at least a little bit embarrassed to lend your genius 

to the leading purveyor of suburban mall handbags?

The 5-piece collaboration of artist James Nares and Coach debuts tomorrow at select Coach stores (meaning you may be out of luck Coach Pinnacle Hills Promenade in Rogers, Arkansas) and on the company's website. The bags will retail for $798, which is slightly less than another well-known and ridiculously over-priced canvas satchel.
