From Downtown to Midtown, Fashion People Are Carrying the Coach Brooklyn Bag to Work

New Yorkers are the ultimate commuters. We take ferries, buses, trains, subways, bikes, cars, and our own two feet—often clocking in over 10,000 steps in one day—to get to work. Through trial and error, I've discovered which bags stand up to the NYC elements. After some observing, asking colleagues, and trying bags, I've determined that Coach's Brooklyn Bag is the one to invest in. The Brooklyn Bag can take you and your necessities from the morning gym to the office to happy hour and back home again. This hobo-style bag comes in three sizes: 28, 34, and 39. It has a roomy interior with a wide shoulder strap and an easy magnetic closure for comfort and efficiency. Its minimalist design is utilitarian but also effortlessly cool and stylish. This season, I'm partial to the suede Brooklyn Bag, but it also comes in leather and shearling. To discover my favorite versions of this already iconic Coach bag, keep reading.
