Coach Brooklyn 23 review

The Coach Brooklyn 23 is a small or mini version of Coach’s line of Brooklyn hobo bags, which is offered in multiple sizes. I chose the 23 because I wanted something that would fit my everyday essentials and nothing more. I don’t really carry that many things around with me.

I have been looking for a fall red handbag to add to my collection. My criteria for a fall red handbag included clean lines, a simple silhouette and something not too trendy so that I could consider it an investment bag for the fall season every year. I chose the Coach Brooklyn 23 because it fit my criteria for a fall red bag and the price was unbelievable!

Yes, this cute little Coach bag is priced well under $300. How could I resist? The silhouette is clean, and the Dark Ruby is a beautiful shade of dark red for the fall season.

The interior offers one pocket which is great for small items or keeping receipts neat and tidy. I can fit my wallet, lipstick, keys, and phone inside the bag with room to spare. So, despite the small size, the Coach Brooklyn 23 offers ample space for everyday purse essentials.

The bag also comes with a detachable chain strap which is made to be worn cross body. This is great for running errands or anytime you want to be hands free. I prefer the bag without the strap, but it is nice to know the strap is there if I need it.

I plan on wearing this cute little bag often this fall season. The color is amazing, and the size is perfect for my lifestyle.

What do you think of this small version of the Coach Brooklyn? Is the size right for you?

Thanks for stopping by!

Are you loving all the clean and chic handbags this fall season? I know I am! My wish list is a mile long! There are so many beautiful handbags which showcase high quality and craftsmanship sans logos. Love that!

The fall 2024 season is taking us back to traditional autumn hues, simple, timeless styles, and investment dressing. This classic vibe is definitely my jam. I cannot wait for cooler temperatures so I can live in cozy sweaters, clean footwear, and carry my new dark red hobo. I am feelin’ fall! After all, the Pumpkin Spice Latte is here, supermarkets are stocking pumpkin spice cereals, I have a fall candle on my kitchen counter, and the vibes are everywhere. With the exception of the weather; this heat wave is not a fall vibe. It really needs to end!

As we all dream of fall, we can keep investing in timeless handbags, chic footwear, and cozy sweaters. In order to feel fall right now, fall nail polish is perfect for any weather Mother Nature throws at us! Love that!

Handbag capsule wardrobe fall 2024

I love the fact that beautiful, high-quality handbags are still important in fashion and street style. Logo bags are still being stored in the back our closets, so this fall season, we get to wear handbags we love with small brand emblems or no logo at all. Love that!

Handbags for the fall 2024 season include hobo handbags, small totes, east/west bags, north/south totes (I have one on my wish list), and classic shoulder bags. Doctor bags are making a comeback too. Lastly, we are also seeing an emergence of box totes in varying sizes. I have one on my wish list too!

In addition to silhouettes, neutral hues, black, shades of dark red including burgundy, and olive green are hot for fall. We are also seeing more suede this season, but for me, I would ruin a suede bag on day one. I just know I would spill something on it or set it down somewhere. If you think you can wear suede incident-free, go for it! For me, I plan to stick to regular leather.

So, this fall season, these are the bags from my collection I plan to have on regular rotation. I also hope to add two more, a north/south tote and a small boxy tote.
