When Coach debuted its Spring 2026 collection earlier this week, a parade of cylindrical bags adorned with the classic Coach kisslock hit the runway. As has become customary for Coach, a selection of the Kisslock Barrel Bags was immediately up for sale, following a see-now, buy-now model.
They sold out immediately.
A Y2K Revival That’s Here to Stay
The barrel bag has been picking up steam once again in the last couple of seasons, primarily driven by the return of all things Y2K fashion, and Coach just proved that it’s not leaving us anytime soon.
The barrel bag is defined by its rounded sides and cylindrical shape. It’s like a mini duffel bag and packs a punch in style. Designers are tapping into the trend from every angle—mini barrels, top-handle barrels, east/west barrel bags, and more. Because the shape is unique and distinct, the barrel bag offers chic elegance no matter what you’re wearing.
Plus, they’re available at a variety of price points, too, and we’ve rounded up a selection from the internet’s current offerings, though you can be sure that as the season goes on, more bags will hit the scene as the trend continues to boom. Which one is your favorite?

My favorite was and is the leather version of the Gucci bullet bag. A Tom Ford era design. You can still find one from time to time
