Coach Vintage-Detailed Carryall

Before I came across this sneaky surprise on Coach.com, I was doubtful Coach could surprise me this much—after our “incident.” But now I’m looking forward to a life of loving Coach non-signature bags, on occasion, and continuing a collection, when bags are sized to price right.

There really are plenty of lovely new bags by Coach, including two additional varieties of the Daphne Satchel (metallic and suede!).

But there is one bag in the new collection that really stands out, it’s the Hamptons Vintage Carryall. Named “Vintage” for its period-reminiscent details, it really is all about the details. Where Coach now fails on logo alignment, they make up for in strides with braided straps, fine materials, and new touches.

The carryall features an extra detail on every aspect, including stitched handles, two-tone tassels, unique thick stitching mixed with smaller stitches, et cetera, et cetera! This lightweight leather, 15″ length tote comes in a variety of all-wonderful colors, for $598.

If only these divine details came in a smaller bag, and price.
