Yes, We're Wearing Coach in 2024—These Are the 9 Bags to Know

Fifteen years ago, I fell in love with a handbag. I was on the way back from a road trip with my family, and we stopped by the Coach outlet to buy my older sister a bag for her birthday. I was around 10 years old at the time, so of course, I had absolutely no reason to own a designer purse, but I was filled with jealousy. She ended up buying a white mini shoulder bag with a rainbow logo print—it was the mid-2000s after all. I have no idea where that bag went and have expressed my feelings about her not keeping it around for me. It's still a bag I think about a lot, especially as I see more and more of Coach's handbag selection pop up on my social media feeds, something I've been anticipating and waiting for. It's 2024, and we're certainly wearing Coach.

Coach's recent collections offer new shapes but also combine its archival silhouettes with fashion-forward colorways and modern trends. There's no doubt that Coach's leather goods are top-notch quality, so when you add on A+ marketing and design that still aligns with the aesthetic of today's consumer, you have a hit. In just the past few days, I've seen at least five TikToks talking about the new Lana bag, with nothing but "I need it" and "I'm influenced" comments under the video. Coach has a vast offering, but I've narrowed down the best nine bags from the brand below.

1. Coach Hamptons Bag

Coach's Hamptons bag was first introduced in 2003, but like many fashion moments from the 2000s, it's made its way back. The buttery-soft leather will only get better with time, so I can see this classic style in your wardrobe for years to come. 

2. Coach Tabby Shoulder Bag

I like to consider the Tabby bag the first marker in Coach's recent comeback. Available in tan, black, and a beautiful metallic, the new Tabby shoulder bag is an updated take on the archival 1970s design. The bag is available in both 20 and 26 sizes—both featuring two detachable straps to wear as a shoulder bag or crossbody.

3. Coach Lana Shoulder Bag

Meet the Coach bag that has social media in a tizzy right now. Don't underestimate how much this sleek bag can fit. I've already seen videos of it fitting a laptop, iPad, makeup bag, and more. It's chic and functional, which is everything you want in an everyday handbag.

4. Coach Tabby Messenger

Only Coach would have the power to bring messenger bags back. When I posted about the bags on the runway onBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing 's TikTok last year, we were immediately bombarded with questions about when the bag would be available. It's available now in all its nostalgic glory.

5. Coach Ergo Bag

Coach is filled with classic handbags, but if you're looking to have some more fun with your wardrobe, you should take a peak at Coachtopia's selection. The Ergo bag, which has been reimagined from its '90s version, is currently the hot seller. It's available in saturated shades, funky prints, and classic neutrals. There's even a bow-adorned version that's on many wish lists right now.

6. Coach Penn Shoulder Bag

Similar to Coach's Swinger bag, the Penn is inspired by the brand's popular Y2K designs but with a more functional and elongated strap. It's teeny in size, but its minimal design will still make a big impact on any outfit. 

7. Coach Bandit Crossbody

If you're looking for a bag that's a bit more sophisticated and less nostalgic, look no further than the Bandit Crossbody. It has a C pushpin closure and features a secure interior snap pocket and an adjustable shoulder strap. Black is a personal favorite, but it comes in five different colorways and even zebra print if you're feeling daring. 

8. Coach Pillow Tabby Shoulder Bag

Coach's Tabby bag was the first bag I purchased in 2021 to reignite my love for the brand. Many brands took part in the "puffification" of fashion, but in my opinion, no one did it as well as Coach. The pillow-padded bag is offered in both 18 and 26 sizes, with some furry options to consider for your winter wardrobe.

9. Coach Swing Zip

Coach is always referencing its archives, and this bag from 1998 was just too good to leave in the past. The minimal bag is still quite spacious for its size, and its long straps make for easy wear. According to Coach sales associates on TikTok, this bag has been hard to keep in stock, so it's a buzzy buy.
