History
The Tabby silhouette actually dates back to an archival 1970s design that Coach Creative Director Stuart Vevers reinvented. The initial Tabby which was the first in the collection is a very classic silhouette, forever style which provides a modern but sophisticated shoulder bag that can alternatively be worn as a cross-body bag. It was followed by Coach’s Pillow Tabby, the squishy, softer version which broke the internet, as every influencer picked it up in their preferred colour. This is also in a mini style which has been equally popular. Now we have the Coach Pillow Tabby in shearling which we predict will follow in the same footsteps. Inspired by their extensive archive this bag is the perfect combination of Coach’s heritage design and Y2K nostalgia.The Different Tabby styles
