4 Coach Bags That Are Perfect for Summer Travel

This slouchy hobo style bag is the chic travel catch-all she’s been searching for and one that’s designed for every adventure, too. She can squeeze in all the essentials (wallet, sunglasses, keys, phone, passport) and then some, but it’s also a bag that’s big enough to carry the extras (a change of shoes, a water bottle, even that sizzling beach read she can’t wait to dive into en route to her destination). The wide shoulder strap, easy magnetic closure and natural grain leather make this stylish bag even more travel-proof. But it’s the flexible design and timeless elegance that will make it her summer go-to.

Keys, wallet, phone, lip gloss, OK, and maybe a tiny notebook to jot favorite details down: The Teri is the perfect companion to house the items you need as you bop around exploring a new (or favorite) destination that you’ve long had on your list. The 90s-inspired design is as cute as it is compact. It also comes with a detachable strap, making it a workhorse in your vacation wardrobe. (Bag by day, clutch by night—the versatility is hard to beat.) Still, the interior multi-function pocket deserves a callout for helping to easily keep track of train tickets, coat check tickets, the works. (Did we mention it comes in 20 different colors?)

That trip to the vineyard or a cool museum? The last thing you want is to be weighed down by a lot of stuff. That’s why the Nolita is the perfect companion. Pack it with the essentials only (cash, keys, phone and maybe a lip gloss), then stash it inside an oversized tote you can keep in the car so it’s ready to grab and go. What we love most is the bag’s flexibility: A simple adjustment to the clip of the strap and you can convert the Nolita into a wristlet, a dream for when you want to be hands-free and more in the moment. Should you choose to keep the handle as is, the drop is just 6 inches, which keeps the items you need close. The best part? How cute it looks with a summer dress.

There’s nothing better than drinks (or dinner) outdoors when it comes to taking advantage of the sizzling summer heat during your travels. This archival take on the 1970s Coach design is pretty and sophisticated, but can easily transition from day to night. (Hello, happy hour.) From the polished pebble leather to the brand’s signature hardware, this is a silhouette that’s timeless and luxe—but it’s also the kind of bag that pairs just as well with a T-shirt as it would with a slinky summer dress. The dual straps provide the option to carry it as a shoulder bag or convert it to a crossbody, which offers the versatility she needs for whenever the night may take her.
