As the days get longer and warmer, it is clear that Spring is among us. With a new season comes an array of new fashion releases, including handbags. Coach, a luxury brand that specialises in producing and selling high-quality handbags, has surprisingly seen an increase in sales during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Whether you receive one as a gift or decide or want to treat yourself, Coach has every handbag you need from running to your local Tesco to a night on the town (when lockdown is over, of course!).
Prior to the pandemic, small crossbody bags were a staple in everyone’s wardrobe. They were simple to throw with any outfit when you only needed to bring your phone and wallet out.
At one point even miniature bags were a trend, but mostly between celebrities on the red carpet. Now, we all have become accustomed to remembering to leave the house with a mask and hand sanitiser to stay protected against the virus.
As a result, tote bags and larger handbags have skyrocketed in sales according to many luxury brands, including Coach.
In the height of people becoming more sustainable, online secondhand retailers such as Depop, Grailed and ThredUp have also been aiding the sales of luxury handbags. It has been predicted that this market will grow up to $51 billion by 2023, mostly driven, but not exclusively, by millennials and Gen Z.
These websites give easier access to luxury brands, such as Coach, at a much lower price while the quality still remains immaculate.
Here are some ways trendy ways to style your very own Coach bag this season:
The Willow Tote Bag is the newest arrival this season! This spacious handbag is a neutral taupe colour with subtle periwinkle top handles. Big enough to fit all the necessities including the ‘just incase’ items, you will have everything you need in one place. This bag allows for very casual use and can be styled with a variety of clothes from baggy joggers to a sleek blazer. It also has an internal laptop strap to create extra storage space aiding it practicality for work or college.
Where to even start with this beautiful bag? A slouchier fit with black grained leather, the Shay Large Shoulder Bag is the perfect mix between chic and on-the-go. With classic gold-toned hardware, this bag also has two carrying options – a shoulder strap and handle. The zip and slip pockets add storage for an extra mask or wipes so you can always have back-ups.
The Tabby collection is one of Coach’s most iconic handbag lines. This season the unique Pillow Tabby Bag has been one of their best sellers. Last month, Vogue, the popular fashion magazine, wrote a feature on how to style this bag, showing off its variety of colours. This dreamy medium-sized bag will definitely elevate any outfit! Choose from Taffy pink or Granite blue to compliment a Spring look or stick with classic Ivory or Black to tone down your outfit.
Whatever bag you choose to carry this season, may you carry it with power and confidence!
