The Perfect Bag for All Your Fall Festivities
These styles are fit for cozy season.
- The best bags for all your fall festivities should be able to take on a few extras (think a flannel, cardigan or even a light jacket).
- Here, we’ve rounded up three of our Coach styles that are fit for cozy season.
Trips to the farmers market, walks through campus and leaf-peeping road trips upstate—regardless of the fall festivities you have planned this cozy season, you’ll need the right fall bag by your side.
The best fall bags are relaxed, slouchy and spacious (and fit to take on a few extra layers when the chill hits the air). Read on for a few of our Coach favorites for autumn.
Brooklyn
From dashing across campus to strolling through the farmers market, the Brooklyn is the ultimate grab-and-go bag for all your day-to-day essentials. And in the fall, this slouchy silhouette will expand to take on an extra cardigan or button down for later in the evening. With three sizes to choose from—28, 34 and 39—there’s a Brooklyn bag for every lifestyle. Consider what you’ll be toting around come autumn (whether that’s a couple small essentials plus your latest TBR or a laptop and notebook for back-to-back classes).
Chelsea
With a slouchy yet sophisticated silhouette and simple flap closure, the Chelsea is a minimalist, unstructured take on the beloved shoulder bag. Style the Chelsea as an effortlessly cool plus-one with even your most casual fall outfits—think vintage tees and baggy jeans—on your way to grab coffee post-class. Or balance out your bag’s easygoing shape with tailored skirts and oversized blazers while heading to work or an internship. The Chelsea is designed to take on whatever fall festivities you might have in store.
Empire
Carry the Empire by its top handles or sling it across your body to go hands-free. Its hybrid silhouette offers the best of both worlds, combining a more structured form with soft, rounded edges that expand when you need them to. The Empire’s roomy interior will even fit a light jacket for people watching in the park or leaf peeping upstate.

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.

The best size bag for fall depends on your intended use. For example, expandable, slouchy carryalls are a go-to choice for toting around with a few extra layers (think a light sweater or comfy pullover). But if you plan to take your fall style companion with you for nights out on campus or college game days in the stadium, you might want to go with a smaller style that fits just the essentials (like your phone, keys and wallet).
