If you have been clueless, know that one of the season’s hottest bags is a (vintage-inspired) Coach purse!
Coach has turned to its archive of iconic bags and released a re-issue of sorts this fall, churning out heritage pieces (through the Legacy and Willis lines) that are very reminiscent of the label’s ultra-classic and timeless designs from decades back, when the brand was such a closet staple:

These archival bags are straightforward, mostly saddle or satchel-like, and appear seasonless. Interestingly, even with just a simple turn-lock detail and a flap here or a pocket there, the purses are selling like hotcakes.
Despite the age-old design, they still look very modern. Young fashionistas are drawn by their clean lines, while the older women flock to them out of nostalgia.
And thanks to celebrities like Taylor Swift and Olivia Munn, who have been spotted sporting the purses, they’re even more popular than ever.

Of course, the big difference between then and now is that you can grab these bags in many colors.
The Legacy bucket bag now comes in four gorgeous hues to choose from. If you’re ready to snag one of these “heritage” pieces, you can do so by shopping at Nordstrom and Zappos.
