Bella Hadid's Under $300 Coachtopia Bag Has Gen Z It Girl Approval
Lola Tung is the latest star to embrace the accessory.
Bella Hadid and Lola Tung have equally enviable Coach bag collections, but different tastes in the New York-based brand's best-selling styles. While Hadid rotates between the Brooklyn and Chelsea carry-alls, Tung is a longtime Coachtopia loyalist. This fall, though, their Coach-filled closets finally collided: Hadid and Tung showcased the same Coachtopia Alter/Ego Bag within weeks of each other.
It all started on September 14, when Hadid wore the plaid shirt trend with a brown suede jacket, cuffed jeans, and Ugg's Classic Micro Boots. To complete her perfect-for-fall outfit, she carried—and sold out—the $295 slouchy shoulder bag, courtesy of Coach's sustainable line. According to the label, leather and suede patches "left over from the making of Coach bags" were used to create the warm-toned brown, taupe, and beige purse.
Last month, Bella Hadid paired the Coachtopia Alter/Ego bag with cuffed jeans and Uggs.
Fast forward to October 20, and the same patchwork Coachtopia style was spotted on Tung's shoulder. Unfortunately, the label didn't restock the brown Alter/Ego Bag before it earned The Summer I Turned Pretty star's endorsement. The rest of her going-out look is ripe for the shopping, though.
Tung's stylist, Britt McCamey, contrasted the Coach bag's boho-chic charm with a matching all-black set by Sau Lee. She stacked the Anton Leather Tang Jacket over the Sima Skirt, both of which boasted similar button embellishments. To finish her late-night outfit, the 23-year-old slipped on Lug Sole Knee-High Boots from Marc Fisher.
This week, Lola Tung showed off the same Coachtopia style in NYC, too.
As one of Coach's celebrity ambassadors, Tung has remained loyal to the Coachtopia collection since 2025. She has worn the Alter/Ego Crescent and Alter/Ego Small Shoulder Bags in black on several occasions.
Meanwhile, Hadid has mainly stuck to the main line. In Oct. 2024, the Ôrebella founder debuted her first Coachtopia tote: the Alter/Ego Hobo Bag with an elongated black, patent leather patchwork body. She hasn't worn the sold-out design since.
Tung and Hadid aren't the only fans of the Alter/Ego Bag. Last month, Pink Pantheress modeled the black version in the label's "Live Your Story" campaign. It's only a matter of time before the singer sports it on L.A.'s street style circuit.

While you await the next Alter/Ego sighting (and its supposed restock), don't worry: Coach's current catalog isn't completely devoid of patchwork pieces. Shop similar bags from the brand below before they sell out, too.
