What does a day in the life look like for a New York City It-girl? Results may vary — but she’s always carrying Coach. When it’s not Fashion Week, she’s likely flitting from an early morning pilates class to a full day at the office, then to an appointment with her best girls and a few rounds of extra-dirty martinis. She’s dressed to the nines for her TikTok ‘fit checks, of course, and has the buzziest new Coach bag before becomes internet famous. So, what’s the Coach bag of the moment? The Coach Times Square Tabby Bag embraces the hustle and bustle of life in the Big Apple for fall, and, to no surprise, it’s selling out in a New York minute.
Coach is always ahead of trends as it expands the popular Tabby Bag family, from boho-chic Tie Dye Tabby bags to the all-denim Tabby Bag that sold out already for a third time this year. The archival 1970s handbag silhouette hit the top of the Lyst Index’s hottest products ranking in the first half of 2024, and this latest release will no doubt bolster the New York label’s unbeatable momentum well through the end of the year. The Times Square Tabby Bag debuted on the Coach Fall 2024 runway, where ladylike vibes juxtaposed the ironic aesthetics of Gen Z — whether the new bag was carried atop the popular Coach Empire Bag or dripping with eclectic keychains and bag charms.
This new iteration offers a smaller, more compact silhouette than previous Tabby Bags, and, runway stylings aside, the same timeless, elegant design still rings true. It closely resembles the Coach Tabby Bag With Quilting, except this time the washed nappa leather appears inverted, offering intricate visual texture. Available in three size options, the Coach Times Square Tabby Bag seamlessly converts from a shoulder bag to a crossbody with the brand’s signature gold chain strap and comes dressed in indulgently rich colorways for fall, including a deep navy and this season’s prominent burgundy hue.

So what makes the Times Square Tabby Bag a top choice for city girls? It’s an effortlessly versatile design. With two internal compartments (or three if you snag the larger 26 size), it provides plenty of organized storage for a wallet, portable charger, iPhone, a handful of lipsticks, and other on-the-go essentials without weighing you down. As seen on the runways, the Times Square Tabby is the ideal size for leaning into the double-bagging trend atop your favorite designer work bag (hello happy hour!), or you can dress it up as its own statement à la Jane Birkin with bows, scarves, and Coach’s TikTok-viral charms. The beauty of the Times Square Tabby is that it serves as a classic canvas for day-to-night ensembles, allowing you to showcase your individual style with as many bells and whistles as you desire.
