These Are Basically Your Mother’s Coach Bags, But Better

Everyone remembers their first encounter with a Coach bag—it was, most likely, borrowed from their mom. (Mine was a lime green tote that she let me wear to the 8th grade dance.) If you’ve ever been lucky enough to find a vintage top-handle at a thrift store, you know they’re almost always in pristine condition because that thick, durable leather withstood at least one generation of dedicated wear. Now the heritage brand is dipping into their archives to inspire its latest drop of Coach Originals handbags. The collection boasts quality materials in timeless silhouettes worthy of ’90s fashion icons like Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and, well, your mother.

Some releases are carbon copies of the brand’s historic styles, but updates come in the form of modern color blocking, exotic skins, and more thoughtful details that speak to modern-day customers (like a cross body that perfectly fits your iPhone 11 Pro). Each bag conjures nostalgia with Coach’s signature details like its iconic double C print, contrast whipstitching, and brass turn lock closures. A few of these bags premiered on Coach’s spring-summer runway, while some have been spotted on the (really good looking) face of the brand, Jennifer Lopez.

Ahead, our select favorites from the over 500 colors and styles to choose from. This time, we have a feeling our moms will be “borrowing” them from us instead (we’ll allow it since Mother’s Day is right around the corner).
