I trust my coworkers' recommendations with my life. We're constantly messaging back and forth about our favorite new finds (it's part of the job, okay!), so I physically could not buy my next handbag without their input. And I have to give it to my coworker Steph Johnson, she really delivered. She's a branded content director who's worked in fashion and beauty for over a decade, and fielded all my bag questions to help me reach one glowing rec: the Coach Tabby Bag. Keep reading to see exactly why it earns her stamp of approval, based on my questions.
I Want a Handbag That Stands the Test of Time—Where Should I Look?
I'm all about cost-per-wear, and Steph says the Coach Tabby is the smartest investment you can make. Inspired by Coach's archival design, the bag's sleek silhouette and signature hardware make it a forever option that you'll reach for daily. In other words, this bag will pay for itself over and over.
What If I Want the Bag to Look Expensive Without Costing a Fortune?
According to Steph, with its soft natural grain leather and elevated hardware, the Tabby is made to look like it cost a pretty penny without hurting your wallet.
"Despite the expensive-looking construction, this bag is under $500," she says. "Which makes it a more accessible luxury option."
Only you'll know you made a smarter financial decision. Everyone else will just see a stylish purse.
What Qualities Should I Look For In a Handbag?
Along with a timeless silhouette, accessible price point, and stylish design, It's important that an investment piece works for more than one occasion— which is why Steph loves the Tabby's endless versatility.
"It has roomy pockets and a crossbody strap that I like to wear to the office," she explains. "I also like to transform it for weekend brunch by removing the crossbody strap and using the shoulder strap. And if we have a night out, I remove both straps to make it a sleek clutch."
Three bags in one? Say less.
