Coach: New York leather bags, from the Tabby to the Brooklyn

The Coach collection at MTHOR Shop brings together the most sought-after Coach bags of the moment: Tabby and Pillow Tabby, Brooklyn Shoulder Bag, Bleecker Bucket Bag, Kisslock Frame Bag and Signature Jacquard models, all authenticated before shipping. Buying a women's Coach bag at MTHOR means getting colours and editions often reserved for the American market, with an expert check and worldwide delivery in 2 to 8 days to your door against signature, customs fees included. Founded in 1941 in a family workshop in Manhattan, Coach is the quintessential American leather goods house: natural-grain leather, solid brass and clasps inspired by the archives of designer Bonnie Cashin. Since 2019, the Tabby has put the brand back at the centre of fashion, and its handbags now resell as collector's pieces.

The story of Coach, from the 34th Street workshop to Stuart Vevers

Coach was born in 1941 in a loft on 34th Street in Manhattan, a family workshop of six leather craftsmen making wallets and small goods. The turning point came in 1961, when Lillian and Miles Cahn bought the company and entrusted the design to Bonnie Cashin, a pioneer of American sportswear. From 1962 to 1974, Cashin revolutionised the handbag: outside pockets, built-in coin purses, bright colours and above all the brass turnlock clasp, whose shape was inspired by the convertible-top latch of her car. Her Cashin Carry designs, including a kisslock-clasp bag drawn in 1969, are now the heart of the Coach archives.

In 1997, Reed Krakoff took over creative direction and turned Coach from a craftsman into a global brand: in 2001, he launched the double-C Signature canvas, which became the house's best-selling pattern at the height of the logomania wave. In 2013, Stuart Vevers, who came from Loewe where he had been creative director since 2008, was named executive creative director; he reconnected Coach with its New York heritage, relaunched natural-grain leather and drew on Cashin's designs. On 31 October 2017, Coach, Inc. became Tapestry, Inc., with Coach remaining its main brand. In autumn 2019, Vevers presented the Tabby, inspired by a 1970s piece, which was an instant success; in summer 2024, the Brooklyn Shoulder Bag, worn by Bella Hadid, revived the vogue for the soft leather bag; in spring 2025, the Kisslock Frame Bag reinterpreted Cashin's 1969 design on the runway. On 29 May 2026, the Coach x Brain Dead collaboration revisits the Tabby with patches, chains and collectible charms. This history explains what you find in the Coach collection at MTHOR: reinvented archive pieces, not interchangeable seasonal bags.

The Tabby, the flagship piece: why it is collected

The Tabby is the bag that put Coach back among the most sought-after houses, and it is the most represented reference in our collection. Introduced in the autumn 2019 collection, it takes its name from its tongue-shaped flap closed by a vintage-inspired brass C clasp, taken from a 1970s archive model. Three strengths explain its status. Leather that ages well: the Tabby comes in smooth glovetanned leather, in pebbled leather and in a Pillow version in ultra-soft nappa leather, each developing its own patina. Real versatility: adjustable, detachable shoulder strap, short handle, and for sizes 20 and 26 the option of carrying it on the shoulder, crossbody or by hand. Seasonal variations: every season brings materials (shearling, crystal Signature Jacquard, cherry-embroidered denim) and colours that are not reissued, which creates a genuine culture of the variant, as with sneakers.

The Brooklyn Shoulder Bag, launched in summer 2024, follows the same logic: a natural-grain leather hobo with a wide flat strap and magnetic closure, available in sizes 23, 28 and 39 and in smooth, suede or pebbled leathers. For buyers, the question is therefore no longer just "which Coach model" but "which size, which material and which colour", and that is exactly what our collection lets you compare.

FAQ — Coach Bags at MTHOR

How does MTHOR check that a Coach bag is authentic?

At MTHOR, every Coach bag is checked by our team on the leather inner label and its creed, the style number, the engraving and weight of the brass hardware, the regularity of the stitching, the grain of the leather and the consistency of the Signature Jacquard pattern at the seams, with a UV lamp and microscope for fine details, before our seal is applied.
