There are many reasons why I love the Fall season: the landscape colors, the freedom to layer clothes and be more creative, and the texture variety. Fall is that season when you can mix different textures in different hues to create stand-out outfits. And yes, this is mostly done with clothes and shoes, but let's not forget handbags. In Autumn, textures such as suede, leather, fur, sequins, tweed, velvet, corduroy take centerstage in fashion, from jackets to boots to handbags. And lately, suede textures have been trending for purses. Whether it's a slouchy tote or a small bucket bag, suede has been dominating in the handbag department. I am a fan of suede, and I especially like it when it's mixed with smooth leather. So of course, when I spotted the Coach Tabby in Maple Shadow Brown, I knew I had to add it to my purse collection.
A Versatile Classic with Modern Edge
The Coach Tabby 26 features a soft structured design and classic silhouette making it the perfect everyday bag. I love the adjustable chain strap that makes it easy to wear as a shoulder bag, a cross-body bag, or a handbag. This is a bag that can easily transition from office workwear to night-out events or even casual weekend errands.
The Perfect Blend of Fall Colors
You can't spell Fall without brown so seeing how this piece blended different shades of brown with a hint of black was a total selling point for me. I also love that the bag incorporates the texture of the moment: suede. That makes it such a great match for brown suede boots, dark brown leather boots, or even black loafers. The color play is one that will effortlessly bring maximum Fall feels to any outfit. And it can go for other seasons as well — think Winter, Summer and Spring — if you prefer neutral and brown tones for your handbags.
The Quilting Details
I've said it but have to say it again: I love texture, not only when different materials are juxtaposed, but also dimensional texture that can be felt. And that's why I love the Coach Tabby in the quilted version. It oozes a Chanel-like classic aura that makes a statement without being too flashy. It's for sure a way to showcase your fashion peculiarity and penchant for refined details.
How to Style the Coach Tabby 26
For a casual take, wear the Coach Tabby bag with a denim dress and boots.
For more of a statement outfit, I paired printed wide-leg pants with a statement bandage jacket and my Coach tabby. I like that the outfit is full of details and texture without being overwhelming (at least for me!)
Now for workwear with an edgy twist, you could go for printed pants (someone likes to repeat their outfits!) with a cropped leather trench jacket and the Coach Tabby.
