Discover The Times Square Tabby

After more than 80 years producing chic, quality pieces, Coach has cemented its status as a design icon for mastering the ability to honor its roots and remain current.

A Modern Classic Rooted In Vintage DNA

When designing the Times Square Tabby, Coach took inspiration from the quilted bags that became so popular in the ‘90s. Coach’s version is rendered in washed and weathered nappa leather, with the geometric quilted design is set at a slight angle — for a look that’s vintage and of-the-moment at once. The squared-off shape of the bag feels fresh, too, given the prevalence of slender baguette bags in the design world; rounded ever-so-slightly at the sides, the shape subverts expectations even as it nods to its heritage through gleaming gold hardware, complete with a signature Coach “C” clasp.

The Colorways Whisper Rather Than Shout

The Times Square Tabby is offered in shades that feel unexpected yet thoroughly on-trend — the aforementioned merlot and navy, as well as classic chalk and black. Since each of the colorways can be worn year-round, you literally can’t go wrong — and that’s why you also shouldn’t sleep on this when it comes to gift-giving. These rich, versatile neutrals are designed to pair with virtually any aesthetic, and the heritage-quality craftsmanship will last the recipient for years to come.

It’s Multifunctional Without The Bulk

She might be compact, but the Times Square Tabby can fit all your party essentials. Designed with snap closure and an inner zipper pocket as well as a multifunctional inner pocket, you can keep small essentials like your lip balm or keys separate and secure from your wallet and phone — and there’s an outer snap pocket in case you prefer to have your phone readily accessible. Two adjustable, detachable straps offer the ultimate in versatility; use the longer strap to style it as a crossbody, or the short glittering chain and leather strap for wear as a shoulder bag.
