Coach continues to have its moment, and this was ever apparent earlier this week at the brand’s Fall 2025 show. The show attracted a slew of noteworthy guests, all eager to see the brand’s next must-have.
Those must-haves included a parade of new bags toted by models who donned ready-to-wear pieces designed with ’90s New York in mind. Creative Director Stuart Vevers, who first landed stateside in the mid-’90s, wanted to explore the ease and unmistakable air of cool that was New York in the 1990s.
Think low-slung baggy pants, belted oversized denim, cool graphic tees, and graffiti galore. Still, there are distinct nods to Coach’s American heritage, like tailored separates and classic outerwear. The color palette, too, one of deep navy, tan, and black, is an ode to Coach’s heritage.
1960s Coach Heritage Meets Modern-Day New York
As for the bags—and there were many—there are distinct references to Coach classics, reworked in new proportions. An aged leather top handle dubbed The Twin Pocket bag features two utility pockets with 1960s Bonnie Cashin-era turn-lock detailing.
Other shapes include a colorful suede bucket bag and what looks like a mini version of the brand’s ever-popular Brooklyn bag. A noticeable change from past seasons is the massive daily haulers that ruled the runway. View bags from the runway below.

I have not liked Coach since the 90’s, but I have to say they are back! These are great bags.
Those small bags with the cute front pockets are going to be all over socials when they land.
I feel this era of bags is going to look SO dated in a few years especially the bags with the turnlock pockets on the front
I disagree. They’re a piece of history at this point.
These look dated in my opinion. Doesn’t look / feel fresh.
Rather buy a vintage 90’s coach instead. Leather is probably better as well.
