Why the Brooklyn Bag Is a Fall Wardrobe Staple

• The Brooklyn bag is effortless style for every day.
• With a slouchy yet minimalist silhouette, it takes the guesswork out of getting dressed so you always look put together.

From days spend on campus to nights out to dinner with friends, tailgating for football games or taking road trips, there’s one Coach bag that rises to every occasion for the fall season: the Brooklyn bag. The definition of effortless style for every day, the silhouette of this roomy, slouchy favorite is a wardrobe staple for many reasons. You can use it for work or school, you can wear it to dinner, you can run errands with it—you can pretty much take the Brooklyn anywhere, all while looking put together (even when paired with more casual outfits).

Below, we dive into everything that makes the Brooklyn perfect for fall.

Since fall tends to be a time of increased productivity, a practical, functional bag that you can rely on is key. Fortunately, the Brooklyn’s spacious silhouette has room for everything: your wallet, phone, keys, makeup, a water bottle and more. The biggest size, the Brooklyn 39, can also easily fit your laptop—making it an ideal bag for your office or campus commute. For carrying all your essentials (without any fuss or extra effort), the Brooklyn is your ultimate pick.

The Brooklyn bag’s expertly designed shoulder strap is long enough to wear with any look. This is especially important for the season of layering when thicker sweaters, jackets and coats add more bulk to your shoulder area. Plus, the Brooklyn’s sleek, minimal design is so versatile, it will complement just about any look in your wardrobe. We guarantee that no matter what you’re wearing, the Brooklyn will elevate your outfit.

To add a unique touch to your fall style, the Brooklyn features a small hook (where our iconic Coach hangtag is placed) to clip on more accessories like bag charms. You can even take a chain link charm and put it around the base of the strap on one side—this creates an eye-catching look that dresses up your bag in a fresh way. The possibilities are limitless and make the bag even more versatile. Customize your Brooklyn to match any mood or occasion. It’s truly crafted for you and your personal style.

Carrying a little or a lot? The Brooklyn has all your bases covered. Available in three sizes, this bag is spacious no matter which one you pick, but one might be better for you than another. See our guide below to find the best one for you.

The Brooklyn 28: the most compact Brooklyn is perfect for coffee runs, lunch dates and lighter days when you don’t need to fit your whole world in one bag. Pick the 28 and you’ll always have the perfectly sized shoulder bag (that won’t weigh you down) in your wardrobe.

The Brooklyn 34: the medium-sized Brooklyn is the ultimate silhouette that has the ease and spaciousness of a tote with the elevated style of a shoulder bag. It can fit all your daily items and then some—making it a no-brainer essential for the fall season and beyond.

The Brooklyn 39: the largest Brooklyn is an oversized style with room for it all. You can carry a spare change of clothes, a laptop, a full-sized water bottle and more, ensuring all your day-to-night essentials are with you. It’s the ideal pick for days filled with back-to-back activities and no time to go home in between.
