The easiest way to breathe new life into your summer capsule wardrobe is with a chic designer handbag that’ll inspire a season’s worth of winning outfits. Whether your style aesthetic leans more minimalist or maximalist, the latest Coach Tabby bag with quilted leather to drop on the brand’s website today might be just the right accessory to upgrade your style for the warm weather season without overhauling your entire wardrobe. Arriving in the wake of Coach‘s bestselling Pastel and Daisy Tabby Bags is the brand new Tie Dye Tabby Shoulder Bag.

Tie-dye print is practically synonymous with the dog days of summer. For some, it may spark fond memories of summer camp, where you doused knotted up tee shirts with every color of the rainbow for a completely custom pattern, or the bleeding dye takes you back to ’80s-era acid wash denim. But, for summer 2024, and the new Coach Tabby Shoulder Bag With Quilting And Tie Dye, think less psychedelic and more high-style, bohemian-inspired sophistication.

In fact, the nostalgic print has been seeing a resurgence since the pandemic, when joy-sparking, DIY designs consumed the days of locked-down fashionistas — like Bella Hadid, who personally tie-dyed her designer T-shirt collaboration. By fall 2021, elevated tie-dye prints spiked by 129 percent across womenswear collections, from the likes of Proenza Schouler, Off-White, Tom Ford, and Collina Strada. Most recently, in September 2023, September Fashion Week attendees and celebrities like Lucy Hale and Nicky Hilton were seen wearing daytime frocks, vibrant mesh tops, or bold jackets and trench coats that donned elevated splashes of the dip-dyed motif. For summer 2024, we’re far from the boho-chic days of fringe vests, feather hair extensions, or medallion statement belts of the early aughts. Instead, imagine refined spins on the playful print that one might see on the arm of a chic gallery girl.

Rather than neon swirls of color, the muted, midnight blue wash on Coach’s Tie Dye Tabby allows the visual texture to be far more versatile as a one-and-done accessory you can pack for vacation and wear all season long. The coveted designer handbag silhouette happens to be inspired by an archival 1970s Coach design — an era in which tie-dye print is right at home — with smooth nappa leather and plush tufted quilting. This new Tabby bag release is particularly unique, as the leather is hand-tied and carefully dyed, resulting in one-of-a-kind designs on each and every bag.

On top of all the styling possibilities, you also have the options to shop between two sizes. The Tabby 26 Shoulder Bag is the larger iteration that makes for an ideal everyday bag, with three compartments for stowing essentials like a large wallet, sunglass case, and a spare tube of sunscreen. Or, you can opt for the smaller Tabby 20 Bag, which serves as a compact mini bag for carrying a lighter load, like a phone, card case, key ring, and your go-to lipstick. Both bags also come with a detachable leather-woven chain strap to convert to a crossbody, which will certainly come in handy for summer adventures.
