This Classic Shoulder Bag Offers Customizable Luxury — & It's Peak Chic
An iconic bag you can make your own.
When it comes to handbags, there’s no question that the option to customize can catapult an already chic accessory into must-have territory. The ability to add or change an element helps the piece really feel like you. Few purses manage the delicate dance of customizable luxury as well as Coach’s Tabby 26 bag. Based on archival ‘70s designs, and crafted from luxe leather in a variety of chic shades and finishes, the Tabby 26 offers myriad customizable options, from a Coach Create service that allows you to design your Tabby 26 from scratch, to chic Coach bag charms and straps that’ll enhance your unique look. With so many ways to make the iconic style your own, the Tabby 26 is poised to become a wardrobe classic you can reinvent season after season.
A Minimalist Silhouette That Serves As Your Canvas To Personalize
With its sleek lines and bold yet minimal C-lock hardware, the Tabby 26 looks chic and timeless, which is what makes it such an investment-worthy piece — and why it’s the ideal canvas to play. Available in a sophisticated range of shades, it’s an elegant backdrop to which you can project a ton of your own personality. The rich leather design boasts features like the detachable top handle and crossbody strap that allow you to transform it from an evening-ready purse or clutch to a daytime crossbody bag. And if you favor a maximalist aesthetic, it’s offered in some embellished prints that are naturally more bold and statement-making.
But the Tabby’s appeal goes well beyond aesthetics; its proportions are equally considered. Designed to hold all your daily essentials, the Tabby 26’s elongated rectangle shape features an outer slip pocket, inner zipper pocket, and inner slip pocket — ideal for storing your phone and wallet to keys, earbuds, and lip balm.
The Option To Design A Custom Tabby
For those seeking the ultimate in customizable luxury, Coach’s made-to-order service, called Coach Create, allows you to choose every element of the bag: The type of leather; the hue, hardware, and monogram. If you adore bold color combos, design a version wherein the smooth rectangular body contrasts with the strap or the magnetic fold-over closure; if monochrome speaks to you, consider hardware in a shade to match the leather. For those obsessed with the little details, there’s even an option to customize the lining, so every time you pop the bag open, you’ll get a delightful, personalized surprise. If you find yourself overwhelmed by options, don’t fret; the brand has consultants both in-store and online that can help guide your decision, so you’re truly delighted with the final result.
A Classic Bag That Gets You
Maximalist charms and adorned straps are majorly in right now, showing up in Fashion Week looks and on A-list celebs. Adding one of Coach’s chic charms or straps to customize the more classic look of the Tabby 26 can help it feel more you-coded. A jeweled chain strap can be swapped in to transform it into a shoulder bag, adding sparkle to the otherwise clean silhouette — and a simple chain strap is available too, if you’d simply like to riff on the minimal design. A glittery cherry charm adds color and a touch of whimsy, while an oversize apple charm adds a cheeky nod to New York City.
