Ready to meet your next obsession? Discover seven must-have handbags of the season below.
COACH ‘BROOKLYN’ BAG
Coach has recently made a roaring comeback, taking up shelf space in the wardrobes of the coolest girls in fashion. Coach’s revival came in part courtesy of its ‘Tabby’ bag and partly due to the renewed interest in its vintage styles (eBay reported a 114 percent surge since January). Now, the brand’s ‘Brooklyn’ bag has already been crowned the handbag of the season.
Unless you’ve been living under an internet-free rock, we’re sure you’ve spotted the vintage-looking tote slung over Bella Hadid’s shoulders this summer in not one but two different iterations—black and tan suede. Whether Hadid’s go-to arm candy choice was a genius marketing ploy from the brand or a genuine love for the style remains unclear. What we do know, however, is that the Coach ‘Brooklyn’ bag is your ticket into the cool club this season. The best part? Its considerably affordable price tag won’t burn a hole in your pocket.
