The best bags for fall are capable of fitting a few extra layers.
Roomy, slouchy silhouettes are always a go-to pick, thanks to their expandable nature.
Read on for a few Coach styles with plenty of space.
The bag you carry around all fall long should be large enough for a few extra layers (think light sweaters and comfy pullovers)—plus all your other day-to-day essentials. So when the air turns brisk, turn to an oversized bag that can fit your laptop, hoodie and the latest book on your to-be-read list.
Here are a few Coach bag styles with plenty of space to take on the season.
Extra-Large Slouchy Bags
Slouchy bags are a fall wardrobe staple, not only for their effortless, off-duty style, but for their practicality, too. And you can’t get slouchier than the Brooklyn.
Made to move with you from campus to work to weekends, the Brooklyn bag is the ultimate everyday staple designed for living. Carry everything the day throws your way all while looking put together—whether in work attire and loafers, gym clothes and sneakers or dressed up in a skirt and heels for a formal event. Simply wear the bag’s comfortable, wide strap over your shoulder for easy carryability.
Need a bit more structure for fall days full of back-to-back classes? Not a problem. Tote bags like the City Tote and Station Tote will hold their shape all while taking on your laptop, notebook, water bottle (and more).
Wear these structured silhouettes over the shoulder with tailored separates to the office or carry it by the handles in jeans and boots for a dinner out with friends. For an added personality-filled touch everywhere you go, attach a bag charm (or two) right onto your tote’s hangtag chain.
Trips to the farmer’s market, walks through campus and early morning coffee runs—these everyday fall outings deserve an everyday fall bag that’s capable of taking on a few extras. And an unstructured shoulder bag like the Chelsea is the way to go.
Store everything you need inside the Chelsea’s roomy interior for jam-packed days and nights out alike before securing the flap with the bag’s pushlock closure. It’s the ideal grab-and-go style, ready to go at a moment’s notice (and ready to look the part, too).
Fall is all about layering different materials—think chunky knits with lived-in leather or cozy shearling with warm corduroy. When it comes to your bag for the season, try one of these rich textures for added depth.
Suede: A suede bag adds rich texture and timeless elegance to any look, any season (especially fall). Style suede handbags with cozy knitwear or smooth leather for a layered look with depth.
Shearling: Shearling is a luxuriously soft material considered a symbol of American cool (and one of our house codes). Style with chunky knits and other cozy fabrics for the ultimate autumn vibe.
Natural Grain Leather: Natural Grain Leather only gets better with time. When worn often, your bag will mold to you—taking in the sunlight, air and oils from your skin for a naturally “broken in” look that complements the rich color palettes and cozy layers of autumn.

Keep it cozy all season long by pairing your favorite flannels with an extra soft and luxurious suede handbag.

Go for a roomy suede style (like the Chelsea or Brooklyn) for that effortless, off-duty vibe.
