Few bags have achieved “It bag” status quite like Coach’s Tabby and Brooklyn — and even fewer come with such a great price point. Both can seamlessly fit into any look, but their vibes are totally different. One is polished and structured; the other is relaxed and understated. Of course, each bag can take you from day to night, from work to drinks or brunch to shopping. But each has a distinct personality. Let’s compare, shall we?
Coach’s Tabby is polished, structured and fashion-forward, with signature “C” hardware. It’s medium-sized with multiple compartments and pockets to house your wallet, cell phone, hand sanitizer and a handful of beauty essentials. It has a secure flap closure that gives it a classic, though slightly dressy, feel.
We love the Tabby for the way it elevates casual outfits, like baggy jeans and a tee, while complementing dressier looks just as well. Choose this style if you’re looking for a polished shoulder silhouette that can also be worn crossbody thanks to its detachable straps. Prices range from $325 for the Tabby Chain Crossbody Bag 19 With Quilting, to $695 for the larger Tabby Shoulder Bag 36.
Coach’s popular Brooklyn Bag, on the flip side, is a more laid-back option. The understated hobo style gives “effortlessly cool” no matter what you’re wearing. It’s relaxed and minimalist. It’s larger and roomier than the Tabby — some sizes can even fit a laptop. It’s primarily a shoulder bag (so don’t choose this one if you need a crossbody), and it feels a little less dressy for everyday use (but just as chic).
If you’re looking for a work bag, the Brooklyn 39 is the largest option and retails for $495. For something a bit smaller, the Brooklyn 24 still has plenty of room for just $295.
