Finding the perfect everyday handbag isn't as easy as it looks. Although the sheer number of options available can be overwhelming, I'm picky about every little thing. Since I intend to use it daily, my ideal handbag should combine style and practicality — a bag that can handle outings on the town while still holding all my essentials. I need a bag that's durable enough to withstand my overpacking habits yet chic enough to elevate any outfit — including sweatpants.

When I came across the Coach Times Square Tabby Shoulder Bag ($459), I immediately adored its timeless look. However, when I got my hands on the bag and started using it, I was more impressed by its functionality. Not only does the Times Square Tabby Shoulder Bag have unique, contemporary-style quilting, it also features several organizational pockets and comes with detachable straps.

What I Like About the Coach Times Square Tabby Shoulder Bag:

I love handbags with a timeless design, and Coach bags are known for their high-quality leather and craftsmanship. I gravitate towards understated pieces that fall into the quiet luxury category, and the Times Square Tabby exudes that look, but with a modern twist. I'm obsessed with the nontraditional quilting that is simultaneously abstract and symmetrical. As a gold girl, I adore the brass hardware, which adds a luxurious touch to the piece. It comes in four colors, but the beautiful Merlot shade instantly captured my heart. Surprisingly, the deep burgundy hue goes with a wide range of outfits and tones — even though it's not necessarily considered a neutral shade — and it's such a perfect color for fall and winter.

Beyond how it looks, I appreciate how spacious this bag is, especially since I cannot leave my apartment without carrying a mini CVS. The Times Square Tabby has a structured yet flexible silhouette that can fit pretty much everything I need for a day out, and a few extras. The bag has two open internal pockets, an internal zipper pocket, and an external snap pocket. I can fit my iPhone 13 Plus, my card holder wallet, a portable charger, several lip balms, hand cream, apartment keys, hand sanitizer, a tampon, gum, two wireless earbuds, cough drops, and more. It also has a snap closure that is very secure, so none of my belongings will fall out.

I appreciate that it comes with two detachable straps so that I can wear it as a shoulder bag or as a crossbody bag — and both straps are adjustable. I can wear it long or short, depending on my mood or the vibe of my look.

What's Worth Noting About the Coach Times Square Tabby Shoulder Bag:

I use the Times Square Tabby Shoulder Bag almost every day, but there are a few occasions when the bag is a bit too big for my liking. I don't recommend bringing this bag to concerts, festivals, or places where you want to dance. Although it comes with a crossbody strap, I still feel that the size of the bag gets in the way of enjoying a night out dancing, and I'm certainly not about to ditch this gorgeous bag in a random corner.
