This winter, we’re feeling positively charmed — by the bright, dazzling decorations that are filling up city streets at a rapid clip, yes, but also the actual charms we’re seeing on fashion insiders’ shoulder bags of the season. That’s right, bag charms are still hot multiple years after their initial arrival on the scene, and Coach is a brand that’s taking a no-holds-barred approach to this lasting trend: by consistently updating its handbag accessory category with the best-of-the-best baubles that are capable of taking even the most commonplace carryall to chicer heights.

As for Coach’s own slinger selection, it’s the furthest thing from commonplace. The Lola Tung- and Emily Ratajkowski-worn Tabby, for example, is as en vogue as ever: now offered in a plethora of fresh, never-before-seen colorways and fabrics (from denim and beaded snake print to crystal fringe and Loved Leather). The Bella Hadid–vetted Brooklyn, on the other hand, is a more boho-chic option that features covetable slouch and comes wrapped in a wide variety of hues to match the sartorial sensibilities of everyone on your list (peep those pastel-blue and rich, sumptuous Merlot iterations). Looking for something more preppy-chic and structured? Don’t sleep on the Coach Plaza Bag, which has a healthy dose of “New York attitude,” per the label, and keeps things simple with only one compartment — for housing the essentials only.

Want to personalize your fresh bag with a touch of Jane Birkin–coded accessories, from the playful to the sophisticated? You’ve come to the right place, as we’ll be breaking down the very best ways to style the Coach Tabby, Brooklyn, and Plaza bags for winter 2025. Be sure to shop them right alongside the plush charms, fanciful straps, skinny scarves, and other editor-recommended add-ons from Coach — to treat yourself to only the best or delight your mom, wife, sister, cousin, and any other woman in your life to no end, just in time for Yuletide. Just imagine how happy they’ll be when they unwrap their very own Tabby Shoulder Bag 26 in Maple, only to find multiple opportunities to dress up said Tabby patiently waiting for them in a stocking.

Seeing as how Coach made it onto Google’s Holiday 100 list this year, which spotlights the most popular holiday gifts based on Google Trends data, it’s only a matter of time before your handbag or charm style of choice sells out. So run, run, Rudolph, to fill your cart only with Coach’s finest.

Coach Chain Tabby Shoulder Bag 30

Oh deer — we’re putting a cherry on top of a TikTok-viral Coach Tabby to help it shine bright like a star. This winter, doll up your Tabby (the Chain Tabby in particular, which debuted at the fashion house’s fall 2025 runway show this year) with a seemingly incongruous assortment of trinkets that, when all is said and done and clipped on, actually work marvelously well together.

We’re convinced that you’re already familiar with the Coach Cherry Bag Charm, which was deemed the fourth hottest product of Q4 2024 by the Lyst Index, but we bet you’ve never seen this particular version of the top pick: topped by sparkling crystals that make it even more irresistible. As for that Deer Bag Charm, its color palette is bound to complement the bag’s gilded hardware and on-trend Pecan colorway, perhaps evoking memories of watching “Bambi” for anyone who’s lucky enough to catch a glimpse. And because everything is better in threes, there’s the Star Puffy Bag Charm for your taking. Benefitting from an olive hue, it will pop against the backdrop of a bag whose soft grain leather composition, three detachable straps for shoulder or crossbody wear, and easy access to all your daily must-haves make it a stylish and practical buy all at once.

Shown With: Coach Crystal Cherry Bag Charm ($150); Coach Deer Bag Charm ($95); Coach Star Puffy Bag Charm ($55)

The ultimate tastemaker — Bella Hadid — stepped out with Coach’s Brooklyn on her shoulder multiple times, at one point picking a brown suede style that perfectly matched her easy-breezy summertime ‘fit. But it’s winter now, so we’re leaning towards a darker, moodier Coach Brooklyn bag swathed in black, crocodile-embossed suede. The catchall’s 28 size is compact, making the whole thing appear streamlined and tidy, which is the ideal entryway for having some fun when it comes to accessories.

Enter: the Coach Ellie Bag Charm in Shearling, Textured Signature Print Silk Skinny Scarf, and Link Chain Strap. While the latter is typically used as an alternative to Coach’s detachable straps found on other bag picks, the fact that the Brooklyn has a stationary handle shouldn’t stop you from clipping the gleaming, luxe strap onto it from end to end, making that crocodile finish appear even more elegant. Then, proceed to loop the aforementioned scarf through the handle, allowing its lightweight silk materiality and repeating “C” design to enter into fluid conversation with the Brooklyn’s all-black composition. Lastly, honor your inner child with the Ellie: inspired by the beloved toys of childhood that never truly leave our hearts. (Trust us — it’s better than a Labubu.)

Shown With: Coach Ellie Bag Charm in Shearling ($195); Coach Textured Signature Print Silk Skinny Scarf ($75); Coach Link Chain Strap ($125)

Let’s give a round of applause for Coach’s Plaza — a small(ish) but mighty purse that will come in handy each time you want to leave the house, for date night or a trip to the opera, say, with only your phone, keys, and wallet in tow. The handbag has only one compartment (no slip pockets or zippered sections here!), but if you’re in need of more space, look no further than the Coach L-Zip Key Case in Signature Canvas, a zip-around, key ring–equipped wallet that won’t add much extra weight to your chic new bag… all while acing the “double-bag” trend that’s been spotted and consequently obsessed over on recent runways.

Don’t conclude your handbag styling journey quite yet. Instead, snag the Soho Sneaker Bag Charm that pays homage to Coach’s most in-demand shoe style, appearing on the feet of everyone from Bella Hadid to Ella Emhoff. Its miniaturized, polished, and highly detailed version will do its best work when hanging not too far away from an actual Soho Sneaker pair donned in conjunction with the Plaza Bag. That’s right: Our editors recommend nothing short of augmenting your kicks collection with the footwear’s Distressed Metallic Leather variation, whose inherent comfort and worn-in look will have you wearing it from work to happy-hour drinks and back again all year.
