Frequently asked questions about shoulder bags:
What are the dimensions of our shoulder bags?
Coach offers a wide range of shoulder bags, in silhouettes ranging from the slouchy hobo to a structured and elegant envelope clutch. We have provided the length (L), width (W) and height (H) of each handbag under the “Details and Features” section of each bag's page in centimeters. We recommend comparing these measurements to a handbag or shoulder bag that you are currently using. As a useful point of comparison to listed shoulder bag dimensions, a sheet of A4 paper is 21cm wide and 29.7cm high. The length (or “drop”) of our shoulder bag straps is also provided. Many of our shoulder bag straps are adjustable.
What is the ideal shoulder bag size for me?
At Coach, we make beautiful things for you to be yourself in. Self-expression is the name of the game, so whether you’re a minimalist or a maximalist, we’ve got you covered with a collection of beautifully crafted bags. As a rule, a shoulder bag for everyday use should sit in comfortable proportion to your body – so taller and larger framed women may want to carry a larger everyday handbag while more petite women may prefer a more compact shape. If you prefer your shoulder bag to rest at your mid to lower waist, look for a shoulder bag strap with a drop of 45cm to 60cm. Hobo, tote bag and structured, compact styles often rest a little higher on the body with drops of 11cm to 30cm. Crossbody bags often rest on the hip and require a longer strap to drape comfortably across the body – look for strap lengths longer than 45cm. Many Coach shoulder bags include detachable and adjustable straps so that you can change the length of your bag strap (and the look of your handbag) in an instant.
Are there different sizes of shoulder bags for different occasions?
There's no rule book when it comes to fashion and half the fun is exploring possibilities. When it comes to pairing accessories to your outfit and the occasion, look to where you want to put the focus. For a busy day of running from work to after-work activities, a tote crafted from buttery leather or coated canvas can accommodate everything you need and wears beautifully over time. For an evening out, consider a smaller purse, clutch or wristlet for pared down style – perfect for keeping the hands free and letting your outfit shine. For wherever you’re headed next – step into a new realm of style with Coach.
How should I care for my leather shoulder bag?
Build out your genuine leather handbag collection, one rare find at a time. As a natural material, leather is hard-wearing, durable and develops a covetable patina over time. To prolong the beauty of pebbled and smooth leathers, place your shoulder bag on a clean towel on a flat surface. Apply a small dab of Coach Leather Cleaner onto your handbag with a soft, clean cloth. Rub the cleaner gently onto all leather surfaces of your bag using a light, circular motion. Following this step, wipe off any remaining residue and leave the handbag to dry for 30 minutes. When dry, use another clean, soft cloth to apply a small dab of Coach Leather Moisturizer to your leather shoulder bag. Buff the moisturizer into the bag in small circles to produce a natural lustre. Please note: Coach Leather Cleaner should not be used on Sport Calf, suede or haircalf leathers. Coach Leather Moisturizer should not be used on buffalo, calfskin, suede or haircalf leathers. Coach products are crafted with love and made to last. We offer free lifetime leather care for our products. The next time you are in a Coach Retail or Coach Outlet store, simply drop off your handbag to be cleaned while you shop!
How should I correctly store my leather bag?
Love your leather, and it’ll love you forever. As a natural material, fine leather needs to breathe! To avoid mold or mildew developing on your gorgeous new bag, don’t store your leather shoulder bags in plastic bags or other non-porous containers. Damp, moist environments, direct sunlight and wildly fluctuating temperatures are also not the best for your leather bags. For best results, store your leather shoulder bag in a cotton or canvas dust cover or pillowcase in a cool, dark place. For long term storage, consider crumpling some plain, acid-free tissue paper and adding it to the interior of your bag to retain its shape along with some small, silica gel pouches to manage moisture and humidity.
What type of leather is my shoulder bag?
Coach uses a wide variety of leathers and leather finishes in our leather bag collections - from pebbled leather to smooth glovetanned leather to supple suede. If in doubt, please refer to information in the “Details and Features” section of each bag's product page to confirm the type of leather used. Alternatively, please contact our helpful customer care team at online@au.coach.com with some pictures of your bag for advice on leather type.
