Maria Sharapova has added designer to her list of accomplishments by creating a capsule collection for Cole Haan. The Maria Sharapova by Cole Haan collection reflects who the 22-year-old tennis sensation really is--both on and off the court. Maria's on-the-go, international lifestyle inspired her chic collection of handbags and footwear. Through working with Cole Haan's design team, Maria was able to infuse aspects of her playful personality into the line. This personal joi de vivre can be seen in the details--from the buckles of the shoes, to the chain straps of the bags. Maria has also subtly stamped her signature by coloring the outsoles of her footwear in blue--her favorite color. With nearly 80 years in the business and hundreds of points of distribution in the U.S., Cole Haan is one of America's premier luxury brands. Founded in 1928 as collaboration between Trafton Cole and Eddie Haan, Cole Haan epitomized artisan quality and impeccable craftsmanship during a time when style was everything. Originally, Cole Haan was a men's footwear label that captured the essence of the 20s spirit with beautifully-designed and well-made shoes for the dapper gentleman. Today, Cole Haan brings that heritage to all of its products, including men's and women's dress and casual footwear, belts, hosiery, handbags, small leather goods, outerwear and sunglasses.
