‘Tis (almost!) the season for toasty hot cocoa, apple cider donuts and prepping your holiday gifting game plans. It’s never too early to start browsing for that perfect present, especially when your shopping list includes at least one oh-so stylish giftee that seems to have everything. Vanilla-scented candles and lavender soap sets won’t exactly cut it, but a thoughtfully-designed handbag is always a welcome addition to any closet. Whether you’re searching for a certified fashionista (sorry, had to) or an on-the-go workaholic, there’s a Coach bag for every name on your holiday list.
The Brooklyn bag — a slouchy carryall tote — is a viral favorite for its spacious interior and minimalist silhouette. With a magnetic snap closure, the design is available in four sizes (26, 28, 34 and 39), making it a particularly fitting gift for any lifestyle. The Brooklyn 28 easily holds all of your everyday essentials, while the 39 allows wearers to schlep everything from a laptop to a grocery haul in style. Beyond its functionality, the Brooklyn also comes in fashion-forward colorways and textures, such as a delicious dark cherry hue, a chocolatey suede variant and a sleek black leather option. If the open-concept bag isn’t quite your giftee’s style, please direct your attention to the Pillow Brooklyn: It offers the same roomy storage, just with a zipper closure (and, naturally, a pillow-soft feel).

Thanks to its timeless silhouette inspired by an archival 1970s design, Coach’s Tabby is the ultimate plus-one to any holiday soirée. As one of the label’s most iconic styles, Tabby stands apart for its instantly recognizable design and its surprisingly spacious compartments. Suede fans can enjoy the textural material in a quilted espresso brown or an eye-catching magenta, while leather enthusiasts can snag a durable pebbled finish in chalky white or classic black. Regardless of whether your “Nice” list includes maximalists or minimalists, you can’t go wrong with gifting a Tabby bag this season.
If you’re searching for more compact (but equally chic) designs, meet Coach’s Teri and Nolita. Teri is a go-to style for a night out on the town, thanks to its zip-closure top, seamless organization and versatile straps. The Nolita — a shoulder bag that doubles as a wristlet — is also deceptively bite-sized. It easily stores your keys, cards, phone and multiple lip glosses. There’s a colorway for every closet, including Teri’s blush pink, deep blue or inky black. Plus, animal print connoisseurs will love both styles’ leopard-print haircalf or embossed crocodile patterns.
