The Empire Carryall Bag 48, for instance, became a veritable sensation last fall, racking up millions of searches, selling out just as fast, and acting as a carte blanche for Jane Birkin–esque personalization (in the form of bag charms, chic scarf additions, and beyond). Now, you can grab the roomy, structured catchall in a gently faded Black Brown, with included silver charms that feature a skull, a T-rex, and a feather. The glove-tanned leather it’s swathed in, of a top quality as per Coach’s dedication to fine craftsmanship, is in line with the textural experimentation that was seen across fall 2025 runways. From Coach‘s own leather trenches, furry animal charms, and sequin-bedecked frocks to Isabel Marant‘s interplay of lace, sheer mesh, and silver grommet–clad pieces, it’s clear that contrasting fabrics will reign supreme in fashion as the weather turns chillier, and Coach’s Loved Leather picks will only work to enrich all of your visually stimulating outfit formulations.

While the 48 size of the Empire Carryall is capacious enough to house a 16-inch laptop, with an inside pocket for holding essentials like the lip gloss you can’t live without, those who prefer something smaller for their everyday pursuits don’t have to sacrifice Coach’s fit-for-fall leather fabrication to attain it. Worn-in leather is also now a finish option for the Empire Carryall 40 and 34, the latter of which is a newer arrival and was toted around by Anne Hathaway (erm, Andy Sachs) as she was filming a Central Park funeral scene alongside Stanley Tucci. This is the second Coach handbag identified on the movie’s set this summer, with Hathaway’s character choosing the sold-out Vintage Metropolitan Briefcase for her nine-to-five.

She’s not the only A-lister with a soft spot for the east-west style, as the Coach Empire Carryall Bag 34 flew off online shelves almost as soon as it was worn outside by Bella Hadid in March, a buzzy appearance that came on the heels of Emily Ratajkowski taking the ultra-attractive handbag with her to Coach’s fall 2025 presentation. We have no doubt that your favorite stars will soon get their hands on the Empire Carryall Bag’s latest manifestation across various sizes, ideal for rounding out corp-core stylings and hauling everywhere this fall: from weekend getaways to evening errand runs.

Own multiple Coach Tabby bags in perfect-for-spring pastels and think it’s fine time to shift the mood for the upcoming season? Luckily for you, Coach’s Loved Leather offering comes in Tabby form, too, and is taken to new heights through the purse’s sumptuous quilting. The fusion of the leather’s layered richness with the bag’s gleaming, gilded hardware (plus an all-new silver feather charm that will remind you to be as free as a bird) is utterly stunning and timeless. Even though the quintessential Tabby has been rebranded multiple times — with Coach unveiling a lip-print version last winter, debuting the petite-and-precious Times Square Tabby in its fall 2024 collection, and dropping the Coach Chain Tabby this year in a range of pleasing hues — we’re happy to see that the Tabby Shoulder Bag 20 in Loved Leather With Quilting preserves all of the bag’s original bells and whistles (like a shoulder strap for crossbody or over-the-shoulder wear). And in case you haven’t yet secured what remains one of Coach’s most-loved products in the handbag category, now’s the perfect time, as the Loved Leather Tabby is classic enough to be an “of the moment” purchase no matter what the trends are at any given time.

With the brand’s vast selection of bag add-ons, you can also have a little fun with your pre-fall buy. Dare we suggest investing in the floral-inspired Short Jewelry Chain Strap, released in the spring, or, for something more runway-aligned, going with the Triple Chain Strap that mimics the chain layering trend currently spearheaded by fashion houses like Issey Miyake? Whatever customization route you choose to go with for your fresh Empire Carryall Bag or Tabby, it’s bound to become your favorite acquisition of 2025 — helping you channel the style of Instagram’s It-girls and fictional magazine editors alike.
