Hypebae Highlights Coach’s Staple Silhouettes For SunUp to SunDown
Here’s our intel on an NYC it-girl’s bags of choice for city living and style.
The average NYC it-girl knows all about keeping up with the city’s electric energy.
The hustle and bustle of the Big Apple can be enough to throw anyone off, but the city teaches you to keep up – and to have fashions that match your momentum. That means our closets have to play their part, so we prioritize pieces that transition seamlessly from day to night – when you’re that girl, there’s no time to stop at home.
When we get dressed in the AM, we know exactly which shoes – from sneakers to sandals – or better yet, bags, can work for our 9-to-5 and the night after. New York-based brand Coach knows all about luxe leather bags and suede silhouettes that complement the city’s style scene, and as it-girl insiders at Hypebae, so do we. Let us give you the tea on our top Coach picks for a city girl’s go-to.
The Tabby Bag
Coach
Who says arm candy has anything to do with a man? For us, it’s all about that Coach staple you carry on your shoulder. There’s the Tabby Bag, an icon fit for any iconic fashion moments you make in the city. Coach’s forever-classic elevates your look without taking away from it. That sleek, signature hardware is the perfect sophisticated touch to your corpcore ‘fit and any after-work moves you may make.
The Teri Shoulder Bag
Coach
For a smaller alternative – and one that allows you to channel the style sensibilities of a ‘90s star, the Teri Shoulder Bag takes the cake. Small but sturdy with a detachable chain strap for crossbody wear, it can keep up with you from sunup to sundown.
The Kisslock Barrel Bag
Coach
The final two in our Hypebae “AM to PM bag breakdown” are on-trend silhouettes suitable for city living – and style. A personal favorite is the archival-inspired Kisslock Barrel Bag featuring distinct design cues from a 1973 Coach cylindrical carryall. The “barrel bag” is a beloved silhouette amongst NYC’s IYKYK crowd and they truly know what’s hot and what’s not. It’s effortlessly eye-catching, and Coach does the silhouette best with a soft, velvety suede finish.
The Empire Carryall Bag 34
Coach
To top off our roundup, the Empire Carryall Bag 34 – another throwback-themed style – arrives as the ultimate sunrise-to-sunset silhouette. The tumbled, lush leather bag has a high-shine finish and although it is decidedly polished, it plays well with everyday tasks. It’s slender so it can move seamlessly with you through a crowded club, and ample interior pockets provide storage for your small essentials along with a dogleash lanyard to secure your prized possessions, including a keychain or secondhand pouch.
What do you say? Does Hypebae have the 411 on a city girl’s go-to? We like to think so. So, make sure to shop these Coach styles — sure to transition with you from your 9-to-5 to your 5-to-9 — and check out our roundup of top Coach styles for your upcoming travels.
