How cute is this little messenger bag! I am in love! The Coach Tabby collection is part of the brands’ classic collection, but for spring 2023, they have introduced a new messenger bag which is perfect for everyday wear. Love!

The Coach Tabby Messenger 19 handbag offers a 1970s vibe with modern, cross body practicality. The bag is just big enough to hold a small wallet, iPhone (pro, not max), keys, and a lipstick. There isn’t room for a mask or kleenex in the main compartment, just the essentials. Although, there is an additional exterior pocket where you can store additional, small items. This is the perfect size when you can be a minimalist.

There are several colors available, at varying price points. The burnished amber is offered at a slightly higher price due to the leather treatment process. I sprung a little extra for the color because it offers such a rich brown hue, and the leather is extremely good quality. I feel like it was worth the extra cost.

By modern day standards, this Coach Tabby Messenger 19 offers the same quality as a $3000 handbag, for a fraction of the cost. The leather is thick and strong, the craftsmanship is top-notch, and the style is on point. It makes it hard to justify paying more for a similar bag. If you are looking for a mini messenger, go with the Coach Tabby Messenger 19! Remember, it’s all about investment dressing and quality. This bag has both.

One thing I noticed about the leather on this Coach Tabby Messenger 19 handbag is that it reminds me of the glove tanned leather of the 1990s. While not as thick, you can care for it the same way you did back in the day. The leather scratches a bit when it’s new, then the scratches blend into the leather and create a beautiful patina. If you get scratches right away, embrace them! They will eventually fade away and the leather on your bag will turn into a beautiful patina which only adds to the value and beauty of the overall bag. This is only on select colors, some of the colors offer pebble leather or canvas.

what fits inside coach tabby messenger 19 handbag

The interior of the Coach Tabby Messenger 19 handbag offers a slim pocket which is perfect for notes and receipts. If you plan to make room in the bag by not carrying a wallet, you can use the pocket for cash, credit cards, and ID. There is a snap on the pocket which can secure what you slip inside.

In addition to the interior pocket, there are two outside pockets. On the backside of the bag, there is an opera ticket pocket. Unlike old school opera ticket pockets, this one has a clean, magnetic closure. Love that! You can rest assured your tickets will be secure.

The other exterior pocket is on the front of the bag and can fit small items. This can free up space inside the main compartment of the bag or offer additional space. I haven’t used it yet, but it looks like a good spot for kleenex! This exterior pocket has a small snap closure, again, offering a secure spot for items you don’t want to fall out of your bag.

Speaking of security, the main closure, which is the “C” logo you see on the front of the bag, has a push button for security. This is a good, overall bag for keeping pickpockets away. Love that for travel, festivals, and public transportation!

So, as you can tell, I love my Coach Tabby Messenger 19! I plan to wear her quite often. You can find the Coach Tabby Messenger 19 in an array of colors. Which color if your favorite?

Thanks for stopping by!

Coach Luna bag review

How cute is this handbag! One of the big trends for the fall 2022 season is the moon shaped handbag. The new Coach Luna bag is the perfect moon shaped bag for rocking this trend while looking chic. Love it!

The moon shaped handbag trend arose from the hobo handbag trend. It is a slightly more structured version of a hobo without being a larger handbag. Moon shaped bags offer the hobo look without the bulk that comes with a hobo bag. This is a great handbag style for minimalism while being on the cutting edge of current handbag trends. You know I love that!

As soon as the Coach Luna bag popped up on the Coach website and in stores, I fell in love. This handbag is the right size for all of my daily essentials which include a wallet, lipstick, keys, and phone.

What fits inside the Coach Luna bag

In addition to holding my daily essentials, there is still room for sunglasses or other things I need to pop inside my handbag. The Coach Luna is a great size for everyday wear.

One of the things I love about my Coach Luna bag is that the leather is amazing! Coach is known for having high quality leather and craftsmanship at affordable prices. With the Luna bag, Coach does not disappoint. This handbag is made from strong, pebbled leather and offers superior craftsmanship. I am really impressed with this bag, especially for the price! Who doesn’t love a fabulous IT bag under $500! I know I do!

Inside the Coach Luna bag you will find one open pocket. This pocket does not fit a phone, but it does fit folded bills and credit cards. If you don’t want to carry a wallet, this is an optional place for those items. I am just using it to fold and store receipts to keep my interior organized.

Coach spring 2022 handbags wish list

Coach spring 2022 handbags wish list from top left: small east/west tote / classic logo tote / soft convertible bag (comes in green and yellow-love!) / small pink satchel / blue cross body bag / green work tote / small brown graphic tote / medium ivory graphic tote /

Coach is having a moment. They have always been a classic and iconic American handbag brand, but their spring 2022 handbag collection is out of this world. Coach has branched out, pushed the envelope, and hit a home run. I am loving it!

Last September, when Coach first showed their spring 2022 collection on the runway, I snapped up an early release of their small Cashin 22 tote. I absolutely adore this bag and enjoy wearing it often. There were several other bags on the runway I spotted, and I am still waiting for a few of those to appear on store shelves. For example, there is a brown version of the Cashin 22 tote I need in my life as well as a purple version. You cannot go wrong with a classic square tote which is small in stature yet large on the inside. Love that!

In addition to the small Cashin 22, Coach has a larger carryall for spring 2022 named the Cashin 32. I am in love with the green version as it will fit daily handbag essentials as well as a laptop. The green offers beautiful color saturation as well as that traditional Coach quality we have all come to love. It’s a clean looking bag and the green hue gives it a little bit of pizzaz. Love!

See that yellow shoulder bag in my collage? It also comes in a minty green. The leather is amazing, and it has two straps, much like my little swinger bag, which makes it quite versatile. I know I will buy one of them, but I am torn on color. It’s a fabulous bag in an edgy color, love that! There are more neutral versions of the bag, but they don’t offer that fun, alternate color cross body strap, only a matching cross body strap. Which is fine. . .but there is something about that fun pink strap. . .

What do you think of the Coach spring 2022 handbag collection? Are you snapping up at least one of the bags?
