This past February, fashionistas were disappointed when they saw some fantastic tricked-up leather Coach bags on the runway—only to learn that they weren’t for sale. Well, this fall, they are[1].

Coach and Anna Sui have recently released two limited-edition bags, her updates of the brand’s iconic 1973 Duffle (see one of them, below). In honor of that partnership, we asked Sui to answer the DuJour questionnaire.
