It feels like an understatement to say that Coach is having a comeback. The classic bag brand is firmly here, having cemented itself as the affordable luxury brand of the 2020s. In the past few years, it’s experienced virality, sell-outs, and even gotten the stamp of approval from Bella Hadid, Jennifer Lopez, and Sarah Jessica Parker—and this week, it got two more It-girl endorsements.
Tracee Ellis Ross posted her sold-out pink Kisslock bag on Instagram (the ultimate flex) and Anne Hathaway was spotted carrying a vintage black messenger bag on the set of The Devil Wears Prada 2, confirming the brand’s status as a must-have for anyone in the fashion know. So if one of Coach’s bags isn’t in your wardrobe yet, now is the time to add one.
Below, shop my favorite Coach styles, including the tote I wear year-round and an always-sold out, internet famous bag that, to my surprise, is in stock right now.
8 Trending Coach Bags
Cargo Tabby 36 Bag 36
Coach
Hathaway’s Andy Sachs’s wardrobe includes a large, lived-in messenger bag perfect for the office. To get her exact style, you’ll have to scour eBay, but the new Cargo Tabby is a great lookalike, and features a few new details, ranging from practical to cool. The spacious bag has front and side patch pockets that are each secured with turnlock closures, a fold-over top finished with a giant silver “C,” and a cool, subtly slouchy look.
Large Kisslock Frame Bag
Dillards
Ross’s pink Kisslock bag sold out the moment it dropped on Coach, but you can still get the highly coveted bag in black at Dillards. This oversized clutch went viral after it appeared on the runway, and got even more famous when SJP carried it in And Just Like That. Now that I’ve revealed the only place you can still shop it, I wouldn’t expect it to be in stock much longer.
Brooklyn Shoulder 39 Bag
Amazon
I’ve been carrying the Bella Hadid-worn Brooklyn bag since last fall, and plan to carry it for years to come. It’s super spacious—I use it for everyday wear, the office, and even travel—and has a relaxed silhouette that makes every outfit feel a little cooler. Bonus: Select colors, including this camel-colored suede, are on rare sale.
Hamptons Hobo Bag
Coach
The Hamptons Hobo is another bag I can personally vouch for. The long drop means it fits comfortably on your shoulder, even when you’re wearing a bulky jacket, and the double closure—first you zip, then you clip—means everything inside is extra secure. (But if I’m being honest, I just like how that vintage-inspired clip closure looks.)
Soft Empire Carryall 40 Bag
Coach
The Empire Carryall is chic yet practical. It’s dramatic and big, with enough room to hold a laptop (and so much more), and features two top handles, though it also comes with a long, crossbody strap for easy, on-the-go wear. And since it feels like every time the Empire bag restocks, it sells out again, I wouldn’t wait to grab one.
Gramercy Tote Bag
Coach
The Gramercy tote is the latest Coach bag to hit my wishlist. It’s spacious enough that I can use it for work, but what I really love is its cool, slouchy silhouette. This chocolate brown suede is my favorite, but the bag is also available in black, burgundy, and caramel.
Woven Swing Tote Bag
Coach
Woven leather bags are the expensive-looking accessory trending this summer, and Coach’s Swing tote is easily one of my favorites. It’s the perfect size for everyday wear, with enough room to hold a wallet, phone, sunglasses, Kindle, and whatever other miscellaneous items you deem must-haves. Plus, the handles have a long drop, so you don’t have to worry about the bag sitting uncomfortably in your armpit.
Soft Tabby Shoulder Bag
Coach
For years, the Tabby has been Coach’s ‘It’ bag, with everyone from editors to J.Lo carrying the now-iconic style. Because of its popularity, there are a handful of different version, from quilted to crystal-covered and even a topsy-turvy one. The one I think will stand the test of time though, is the Soft Tabby. The look is simple and timeless, the crossbody strap makes it easy to carry, and the medium size makes it perfect for everyday wear.
