Yes, I am a woman in her early twenties (ehem, mid-twenties) who has fallen in love with Cole Haan. For a long time I thought of Cole Haan as an "older" brand, probably because my fleeting glances toward the Cole Haan section of Nordstrom have been extremely fruitless. The word "orthopedic" comes to mind.

Readers, I have been proven wrong.

I've spent the better part of the morning obsessing over their leather coats, and I'm considering throwing a bag and a pair of shoes into the mix as well. Not only are their coats and shoes classic (as usual), they have also stepped up to the plate with modern and youthful details in many of their items, making them perfect for us trendseekers who like to get a little mileage out of our big budget couture. Here are just a few items from their winter collection that I'm smitten with. I also happen to know that their leather goods are incredibly well made, which is good, because they'll be in style for a long time.
