Shopping for pilot sunglasses? The Coach L1128 occupies a sweet spot between accessible luxury and distinctive design. Here's how it compares to similar options in our collection.
Coach L1128 vs. Coach L1013 7079
Both are Coach women's pilot sunglasses with metal construction and similar quality standards. The L1128 distinguishes itself with injected temples featuring a gradient spray effect—a more contemporary design detail—while the L1013 offers a more traditional pilot aesthetic at a lower starting price ($80 vs. $110).

Coach L1128 vs. Ray-Ban Aviator 3025
The Ray-Ban 3025 is the original aviator that started it all in 1937—an icon of eyewear design. It offers the purest, most traditional pilot silhouette and the widest range of lens and frame options. The Coach L1128 takes that classic shape and adds modern fashion details: the gradient temple effect, a more refined feminine proportion, and contemporary color options. The Ray-Ban costs more ($133-$281) and delivers timeless recognition; the Coach costs less and offers more current style. If you want the original, choose Ray-Ban.
