Fall’s Coolest Coach Bags Have the Bella Hadid and Charli XCX Seal of Approval

Even after months of brutal heatwaves and keeping my AC blasting around the clock, I’m still not ready to say goodbye to summer. But alas, the seasons wait for no one! Pumpkin spice is back at coffee shops, Disneyland is already decked out for Halloween, and the temperatures are finally starting to dip. For fashion girls like me, that can only mean one thing: it’s time to start transitioning our wardrobes—and, of course, our purses—into fall mode. And there’s only one place I’m looking: Coach.You’d have to be living under a rock to miss the Coach takeover happening in the style world. And honestly? I’m still a little surprised. This was the brand I grew up with, and all of a sudden, it’s everywhere I look. Two bags, in particular, have been impossible to miss: the Brooklyn and the Tabby, both spotted on everyone and their third cousin’s shoulders. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about either one—and, naturally, I’ve been trying to justify getting one for myself.So, let’s get into why these two have completely won me over, and why they belong in your fall rotation too! You’re gonna fall in love... You’ve been warned!The Brooklyn BagWhen I tell you that I’ve heard almost half the people in my life rave about how this bag is their everything, I’m not exaggerating. They use it for work, as a personal item, and as their everyday everything bag—something they can grab and know will fit all their essentials (and then some) while still looking chic and never bulky.The silhouette is what really sets it apart for me: a more structured hobo shape that feels elevated, almost like the older sister of the boho style, if you will. And the spacious handle is such a plus because it sits comfortably over the shoulder, even when you’re wearing thicker layers. I’m obsessed with the chocolate brown colorway because it just screams fall and has quickly become the new neutral for the upcoming season. It’s definitely the one I’m getting!The Tabby BagThe Tabby bag has quickly become the It-Girl purse, and for good reason. Once the shoulder bag officially became certified cool again, it felt like everyone was gravitating toward this particular Coach style. It’s honestly the perfect size and shape because, even though it’s on the smaller side, it can fit all the basic on-the-go essentials plus a few bigger items like a spare shirt, passport, hairbrush, and more.And the best part? It has a two-in-one element, thanks to the thick crossbody strap that comes with it. You can switch it up when you want a little more security, making it ideal for traveling or anytime you just don’t want to worry about your bag. For fall, I’m loving the lighter brown pecan and darker colorway. They add a fun pop of color without feeling too bright, while still fitting perfectly into that warm, leafy fall palette.Megan Uy is an associate shopping editor at Cosmopolitan, where she searches for the best products in all things fashion, home, beauty, sex, gifts, and more, so you don’t have to.
