Personalize the Teri bag your way.

For an instant refresh, adding a bag charm (or two) will give your Teri a personal touch. The bag features a small ring on either side, making it easy to hook on charms and other accessories. Coach offers a wide array of charms, from the classic cherry to New York-inspired icons like the pretzel and yellow taxi. There are also both gold-tone and silver-tone designs to make the look complementary to the jewelry you usually wear. Whatever you find flattering or true to your style, you can add to your Teri bag. With an understated and sleek look, the Teri is a blank canvas for your daily self-expression.

Get creative with accessories.

Besides bag charms, there are other ways to dress up your bag. For example, you can tie on a skinny silk scarf like this cherry mix print design. A scarf is an easy way to add a pop of color to the look without weighing the bag down at all. You can tie the scarf into a knot or bow at the base of one side, or you can even try wrapping it all around the shoulder strap, making sure to knot it at either side to make sure it’s secure. Playing around with it is half the fun, so don’t be afraid to try something new.

Add a different strap.

The Teri bag comes with two straps (shoulder and crossbody) that are both removable. This creates even more opportunity to make the bag your own because you can switch on and off straps as you wish. We have chain straps that look like jewelry and chunky chains that add bold flair. These designs can be purely decorative and hang on the bag, or you can use them in place of the existing shoulder strap for you to carry the bag.

Switch up how you wear it.

Depending on your outfit or where you’re going, the Teri can be worn as a stylish shoulder bag or effortless crossbody to keep your hands free. During a day of errands and running around, it might suit you to wear it crossbody and complement a casual outfit. For a night out, the Teri is the perfect shoulder bag to complement a dress or more formal ensemble. Just remember that the straps easily go on and off, so you can change up how you wear it as much as you want.
