Let's face it: We all want to look expensive. While I admit that I frequently fawn over designer pieces, in my opinion, the best finds are the ones that look expensive without the four-figure price tag. Enter: the Coach Tabby Bag. This iconic silhouette rose to TikTok fame during Fashion Week a few years ago, when it was seen on the arms of editors, celebrities, and show-goers alike. Keep reading to see why this cult-loved bag is the perfect attainable investment piece to add to your wardrobe.
What Is It
No fashion person's closet is complete without one of Coach's iconic bags, and the Tabby is the perfect one to start with. Originally inspired by a 1970s archival design, the Tabby is instantly recognizable with its signature hardware and confident structure. When it was reintroduced in Fall 2019, the fashion girlies went absolutely feral for it. And I can't not mention the Pillow Tabby—the pinnacle of viral accessories. Released in 2021, this puffy quilted number quickly shot to the top of everyone's wishlists.
How to Style the Coach Tabby Bag
The Tabby is the type of timeless, versatile bag everyone needs in their wardrobe. It seamlessly adapts to whatever the day calls for: from casual matcha runs, to office meetings, to dinner dates. It's the type of bag that can be worn with jeans or a dress, and looks chic no matter what. And can we talk about how roomy it is? I need to have my essentials with me at all times, and it carries a surprising amount—I can slip in my phone, a tube of lotion, a vial of perfume, and a lip gloss (or two, or three) without it having that overly-stuffed look. I simply couldn't ask for more in a handbag.
Why the Coach Tabby Bag Is Editor Approved
The versatile shape, high-quality leather, and shiny hardware makes the Tabby bag look way more expensive than it is—hence why so many editors like myself reach for it over and over. It's instantly recognizable with it's signature hardware and confident structure that can be worn any time of year. It's the same quality as the designer bags that are on my wishlist, but doesn't require me to take out a literal loan to purchase it, which makes it a smarter long-term investment piece.
