Coach · Tier 5
Catalogued June 2026
The Tabby traces to a 1970s-era design lineage associated with legendary Coach designer Bonnie Cashin, though the specific silhouette sold today is not a direct 1:1 reissue of a single original model -- sourcing on the exact original product is thin. Creative director Stuart Vevers relaunched the Tabby as a modern style in Fall 2019, and it became one of Coach's signature turn-lock bags, sold in multiple sizes (commonly 26 and Shoulder Bag configurations) and many limited-edition material/print collaborations.

Coach began with a baseball glove, and the Tabby revives a 1970s shoulder bag.
Origin
Coach started in 1941 in Manhattan as a men's leather goods workshop. Taken with how a well-worn baseball glove softened with use, its makers developed the supple Glove-Tanned cowhide that became the brand's signature.

Design
Bonnie Cashin became Coach's first creative director in 1961 and brought industrial hardware and a layering, sportswear sensibility, ideas that still shape Coach's look today.
