On the eve of my thirteenth birthday, my mom handed me a dainty box containing what would become my most prized possession: my very first Coach bag. It was a patent-leather cherry red confection, and I carried it to every event on my social calendar from that point onward. In fact, I still own it.
My collection of It bags from the New York label has grown a lot since then, but one thing hasn’t changed: Coach still makes excellent gifts in 2025.
The brand introduced its latest collection with an Elle Fanning-fronted campaign earlier this week, and it’s filled with must-haves, from refreshed suede and leather iterations of the still-viral Brooklyn Bag to a (chicly) worn-in looking version of the classic Tabby Bag already beloved by Bella Hadid. These sit next to cozy-feeling shearling-lined and shimmery styles perfect for gifting or for carrying to your next holiday party.
If you have a bag-obsessed shopper on your holiday list who’s always looking for a new style to add to their collection, this is the gift guide for you. Pretty much every style on this list retails for less than $500 and will undoubtedly become modern heirlooms, so they’ll definitely delight that special someone in your life.
Coach
Tabby Shoulder Bag 26 In Loved Leather
This is Bella Hadid’s pick (and honestly mine, too). The distressed leather looks so cool, and unlike other Tabby styles you’ve seen.
Coach
Teri Shoulder Bag in Signature Canvas
This is the go-to party bag in my rotation. It could be your giftee’s, too.
Coach
Soft Empire Carryall Bag 40
Coach
Bleecker Bucket Bag
Everyone could use a carry-everywhere bucket bag in their rotation.
If the person you’re shopping for already has a black shoulder bag, buy them a cocoa brown one. This one is under $300 cocoa-brown one, and feels just different enough without going overboard.
COACH®
Tabby Shoulder Bag 26 With Crystal Embellishment
A bedazzled bag is so fun, especially if your giftee loves wearing all-black. It’ll jazz up any outfit with little effort.
COACH®
Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 28 in Shearling
A touch of shearling makes the familiar (and beloved) Brooklyn Bag feel extra cozy.
COACH®
Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 34
Speaking of Brooklyn bags—if she hasn’t tried one yet, I recommend this slate gray suede one. It’s a great work bag (it made our list of the best laptop-friendly options) because it’s so roomy and easy to style.
Coach
Large Kisslock Frame Bag
Oversized versions of this Kisslock Bag walked the runway at fashion week, so the style-obsessed person in your life will approve.
For the girl who has everything: this perfect suede shoulder bag.
Coach
Tabby Shoulder Bag 20
This is the kind of bag she’ll want to show off to everyone she passes on the street.
Coach

A refreshed texture gives the Brooklyn a surprising, elevated air.
