Coach shows traditional looks never go out of style with this City Bag from its Classics collection.
While some fashionistas may accuse Coach of playing it safe here, I love the City Bag’s clean, uncluttered design. The rich orange-red leather is an eye-catching alternative to the signature prints of old. The striking color lifts the City silhouette which has been a Coach staple since 1987. Shy retiring types may prefer something more sedate, but I think Coach really needed a bold hue to modernize the style.
The colors have changed and the leather has become lighter, but it’s nice to know that some of our favorite City features remain. I’m thrilled to see Coach retain the original hardware, including that iconic turnlock clasp.
The Classics City Bag is petite by modern standards but it’s roomier than you might expect. The well designed interior has space for everything you really need inside, and its interior and exterior pockets should see that those items stay organized.
Coach serves up the best of both worlds here, a style that dates from fashion’s heyday with a few contemporary innovations. This new City Bag is a bit more expensive than the original incarnation, but at $278 it’s still affordable by modern standards.
