Here at WWD Shop, we’re Tabby evangelists, meaning our editors own the bag in multiple iterations, love the bag, and will take every opportunity out there to preach about its desirability. We’re also archivists of sorts when it comes to Coach‘s Tabby — having chronicled the Chain Tabby Shoulder Bag debut at the label’s fall 2025 runway and the ways in which front-row show attendees styled it. So too did we cover the Times Square Tabby‘s arrival on the scene, the popularity of a 2024 tie dye Tabby variation (boho-chic to the max), and, most recently, the perfect-for-fall releases of the Coach Empire Bag (the very one seen in the hands of Anne Hathaway while she filmed “The Devil Wears Prada 2”) in the Loved Leather style: boasting an intentionally worn-in and vintage-inspired look. This summer, we also rushed to grab — and point readers to — new Brooklyn Bag options, swathed in pastels and deeper hues like Merlot.

How 'Mature' Does AI Need to Be For Fashion?

All this is to say: We know a thing or two about Coach… and about the Tabby specifically. Though the silhouette was first introduced to the world in the fall of 2019, it took notes from a 1970s Coach design — being an ode to the brand’s rich legacy. In the six years since, the bag underwent many a transformation under the guidance of creative director Stuart Vevers, who is known (and lauded) for the frequent allusions to New York City edginess and youthful, downtown cool he infuses into his work.

While the Brooklyn rose to fame based on its placements as part of Bella Hadid’s model-off-duty ‘fits over the years, versions of the Tabby have been worn by everyone from Ice Spice and Lola Tung to Jennifer Lopez and Emily Ratajkowski. And while the catchall’s classic colorways — Maple, Honey Brown, and Chalk among them — will always be famous, we seriously urge shopping the celeb-approved bag’s newer releases for everyone on your list this holiday season.

If your mom has expressed multiple times her penchant for snake print, treat her to the Tabby Shoulder Bag 26 With Beaded Snake, whose textural richness is complemented by the kind of metallic shine that turns heads on the street. And if your wife is a big fan of cowboy-coded looks, allow her to match that go-to pair of Western boots with Coach’s Chain Tabby Shoulder Bag in Denim. Wrapped in a deep blue jean material, the beaut merges an inherently laid-back vibe with chic, elevated details (peep that gilded central chain and leather trim). Should the woman in your life want to take a page directly from Coach’s runway, surprise her with the Chain Tabby Shoulder Bag With Sketch Print: which benefits from a graffiti-clad body and was carried by models at the Coach spring 2025 show.

In other words, there’s a Tabby Bag available on coach.com for every style sensibility under the sun, whether your giftee this year leans more classic or more avant-garde in her sartorial equations. To help you hone in on the be-all and end-all bag that will awe her on Christmas morning, allow us to introduce you to the nine best and most gift-ready Tabby Bags of 2025.

Warning: You’ll fall in love and buy one for yourself, too.

You didn’t need top designers’ collections this season to tell you that snake print is all the rage right now. This bag takes things up a notch, though, based on the fact that it’s beaded — bringing an even more exotic touch to the cold-blooded creature it references. Three detachable straps here (including that chain one) offer up many ways to wear the piece, and you’ll be grateful for the soft underhand feel of its natural grain leather, too.

“Yeehaw” meets “sophisticated” in this bestselling Chain Tabby Shoulder Bag: featuring a roomier size with more organizational compartments (including an exterior zip pocket!) than the aforementioned beaded one, meaning you or your giftee will be able to stow in it everything from a favored tube of lipstick to a small notebook and a sunglasses case. As for the bag’s cotton makeup? Per Coach, it’s sourced from farms that use regenerative agricultural practices. A win for you and a win for the planet.

suede and natural grain leather here also makes this handbag a must-snag essential, and that timeless black colorway is capable of fitting in with every kind of aesthetic. That’s what we call fringe benefits!

Emily Ratajkowski was spotted toting a Tabby Shoulder Bag 26 in a very similar shade to this warm-brown Pecan last year, as an integral part of her silk skirt– and cowboy-boot powered outfit. No shortage of other celebrities are drawn to the style, and it remains one of the most popular offerings on Coach’s site. The simple reason for that? Lacking any kind of crystal, fringe, or beaded add-ons, the purse keeps things looking classy and universally compatible with what can be found in your wardrobe. Its hue puts special emphasis on that natural grain leather materiality, while the bag’s slouchiness wins even more points in the looks department.
