Coach Is 2025's It-Bag Factory, According to the Best-Dressed Celebrities

Back in the 2010s, I decided to sell my childhood Coach bags. I prayed my older self wouldn't regret it. Now, here I am: 23 years old and noticeably Coach-less, just as celebrities are endorsing the brand's comeback.

I've been in denial since early 2023, when I saw Jennifer Lopez wearing a quilted shoulder bag, one of her many Coach models. (Sadly, it bared a shocking resemblance to a purse I used to own.) The A-lister's approval seemed to ignite a Hollywood-wide roll out: Coach was back, and more popular than ever.

Over the past 12 years, creative director Stuart Vevers has changed the entire conversation around Coach. It's no longer just a brand you used to wear, but an affordable leather goods label that everyone wants (and sometimes can't have), including my favorite fashion muses. These days, it's guaranteed Coach bags will sell out, especially after Bella Hadid gets her hands on them. The supermodel debuted her first Coach tote in June 2024: her now-signature Brooklyn Bag. Fast-forward to a year later, Hadid has acquaired at least three additional Coach bags.

It wasn't long before other celebs boarded the bandwagon. (It's the Hadid effect: everything she styles goes viral.) In 2025 alone, Emily Ratajkowski, Charli XCX, Camila Morrone, Lola Tung, and Antonia Gentry have been spotted with a Coach bag in tow. Minutes after each one was identified, the style sold out.

The Brooklyn Bag, (in the 39 and 28 sizes), is still sweeping street style, on the shoulders of Hadid, Charli XCX, and Morrone. As if I wasn't tempted enough to place an order, Coach recently marked down Hadid's suede version from $495 to $297.

Even Anne Hathaway is in on the brand's resurgence. While filming The Devil Wears Prada 2, Hathaway has been carrying a vintage Coach briefcase while in-character as journalist Andy Sachs. It's inciting fans to beg the brand for a reissue.

I have all the encouragement I need to rebuild my collection from scratch. If Coach's second coming has you feeling equal amounts of fashion FOMO, scroll ahead for Coach's best celeb-tested bags to shop now.

Bella Hadid's Brooklyn Bag

At this point, the Brooklyn Bag is a household name (at least in my apartment). The 'Ôrəbella founder carried the spacious hobo bag to It-item status last year, in the black and suede colorways. In July 2024, she paired the black Brooklyn 39 with two separate outfits, including vintage Gucci pants, and later, capris. On both occasions, the $495 tote stole the show.

Camila Morrone's Brooklyn Bag

Perhaps inspired by Hadid, the Daisy Jones & the Six star secured the Brooklyn 39 in the suede shade. Leaning into the bag's country-coded charm, Morrone coupled it with lacy LWD from Taylor Swift's favorite L.A. label, Dôen. To finish, she slipped on tan cowboy boots to match her bag.

Emily Ratajkowski's Empire Carryall

Ratajkowski became a Coach customer in June 2024, and not even a year later, she secured an invite to the label's New York Fashion Week show. In Feb. 2025, EmRata arrived at the fête carrying the new Empire Carryall Bag, which premiered in the Fall 2024 collection. The model was one of the first stars to tote the east-west bag, but in recent months, Anna Sawai and Hadid have followed her lead.

Lola Tung's Alter/Ego Bag

In addition to their core catalog, Coach also offers sustainable styles through Coachtopia. In early July, Lola Tung promoted The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 with the Alter/Ego Bag in hand, a $225 patchwork bag created from an old Tabby Bag. It looked effortlessly cool alongside a full Coach 'fit, including a monogramed scarf belt.

Jennifer Lopez's Studio Bag

Lopez initially backed Coach's resurgence in 2020, when she joined the team as brand ambassador. One of J.Lo's regular re-wears was a Restored Studio Shoulder Bag, which retailed for $595—one of Coach's higher price points. Her black version is no longer available (surprise, surprise), but you can still shop a similar gray option.

Charli's Brooklyn Bag

In May 2025, the Grammy winner brat-ified Coach's Brooklyn Shoulder Bag in the slightly smaller 28 size. Though Charli didn't need as much storage as Hadid, she still went the noir route, which complemented her pleated mini skirt and Acne Studios boots.

Anna Sawai's Empire Carryall

Just days after taking home a 2025 SAG Award, Anna Sawai joined the Coach craze with EmRata's Empire Carryall, except in a nice light brown. In an instant, the $450 bag took her light-wash jeans from casual to classic. Her $8,750 Cartier Panthère necklace also helped in that department.

Laura Harrier's Tabby Bag

The Coach Tabby is undeniably one of Vevers' most famous designs, and it's only six years old. In April 2025, the $495 top-flap bag fit seamlessly into Laura Harrier's cool-girl combo, alongside a leather bomber jacket and ballet flats.

A few months later, Antonia Gentry gave the Tabby trend a go, this time at a Coach event. Contrary to Harrier, the Ginny & Georgia actor held it by the silver chainlink strap.

Sarah Jessica Parker's Oversize Clutch

The Kisslock Frame Bag is one of Coach's most in-demand designs—it's sold out on two occasions already. In Oct. 2024, just one month after its Spring 2025 debut, the oversize coin purse appeared on And Just Like That Season 3. Sarah Jessica Parker carried (pun intended) the handle-less look under her arm, alongside an anti-Carrie denim maxi skirt.

Fast-forward to July 2025, Rachel Brosnahan promoted Superman with the now-famous style. Luckily, she (and her stylist, Alexandra Mandelkorn) secured the Kisslock before it sold out for the second time.
