City life requires a bag made to move with you from gym to work to weekends and beyond.
Inspired by Coach’s New York heritage, the Brooklyn bag embodies the spirit of the city through its effortless style, streamlined silhouette and high-quality leather.
Regardless of where you live, the Brooklyn’s New York attitude contributes to its practicality, timelessness and versatility for the ultimate everyday staple.
Whether you’re running to catch the subway, walking a few blocks from the gym to your office or heading out for the hottest dinner reservations downtown, city life requires a bag that can take on even the most hectic days—and look the part, too.
Inspired by Coach’s New York heritage and hometown and named after one of five boroughs, the Brooklyn bag embodies the spirit of the city, designed to make even the most fast-paced days a little easier, regardless of where you call home.
Read on for the key features that distinguish the Brooklyn as the bag with a New York attitude—and what that means when it comes to everyday use.
Understated Style, on the Go
When you’re in a rush, sometimes you just don’t have the time to carefully curate an outfit—especially if you’re running out in loungewear or activewear. But the Brooklyn is known for its effortless style.
Throw it over your shoulder with gym shorts and a hoodie, a comfy matching set or your most formal pantsuit. You won’t have to think twice before heading out the door. It’s an everyday staple that ties together any style for a confident, put together look.
Spacious, Streamlined, Simple
A luxurious, high-quality take on a casual design, the Brooklyn is the modern tote bag—spacious, streamlined and simple. The Brooklyn’s roomy, slouchy silhouette expands to take on all your essentials as the day rolls along while its clean lines, minimalist design and smooth leather help to contribute to its timeless, understated style.
Keep your phone and wallet secure in the inside snap pocket and secure all your larger belongings with the magnetic snap closure for easy access on the move. It’s that simple.
Natural Grain Leather, Natural Character
Our Natural Grain Leather features a natural grain texture for that classic leathery feel, as well as semi-vegetable tanning—a process that accentuates the unique charm and character of each cut, like variations in shade and color. Known for its soft texture and natural look, Natural Grain Leather develops a beautifully well-loved character as it ages.
All those days spent riding the subway, shopping downtown or grabbing coffee with coworkers will be reflected on your Brooklyn bag years and years later—serving as a living record of your New York story.
With its roomy, slouchy silhouette, minimal hardware and easy carryability, the Brooklyn bag is a modern take on our first tote, embodying the same timelessness and versatility but designed with present-day function in mind. The ultimate everyday staple, the Brooklyn bag helps you look effortlessly put together, no matter the occasion.
