Frequently asked questions about shoulder bags:
What are the dimensions of our shoulder bags?
Coach shoulder bags are available in mini, small, medium and larger silhouettes, with dimensions varying by design. 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 centimetres. We recommend comparing these measurements to the shoulder bag that you are currently using.
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 designer shoulder bags. As a rule, a shoulder bag for women intended 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 small shoulder bag. 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 typically 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?
Yes. A medium or larger shoulder bag is generally suited to busy days, while a mini or small shoulder bag offers a more streamlined option for dinners, events and evenings out. For a busy day of running from work to after-work activities, a shoulder travel bag crafted from buttery leather or coated canvas can accommodate everything you need and wears beautifully over time. For an evening out, consider an elegant black shoulder bag that lets your outfit shine.
How should I care for my leather shoulder bag?
Build out your genuine leather shoulder bag 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 bag 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 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, including Coach Outlet shoulder bags, to be cleaned while you shop!
How should I correctly store my leather bag?
To avoid mould 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.
Which Coach shoulder bag is best for everyday use?
The best everyday shoulder bag combines a comfortable strap, practical closure and enough interior space for the items you regularly carry. The Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 28 is a relaxed hobo with a spacious interior and wide shoulder strap. For a smaller, more structured option, the Tabby Shoulder Bag 20 provides internal pockets and detachable straps for hand, shoulder or crossbody wear.
