Do you ever find yourself wondering if your old handbag might actually be a small black hole, the way it seems to magically make things disappear? Keys, lip balm, that half-eaten protein bar you swore you’d polish off—they all vanish into its cavernous depths. What if I told you there’s a smarter way to keep your universe intact? Enter the Coach Times Square Tabby, a handbag that redefines form and functionality with a dose of 70s nostalgia. If you’re anything like me—constantly losing things yet determined to maintain some semblance of fashion-forwardness—keep reading to discover why the Times Square Tabby might just be your new best friend.
The Aesthetic Charm of Bygone Eras
Nostalgia and Sophistication Collide
Ah, the 1970s, a time when people wore bell-bottoms unironically and disco wasn’t retro. The Times Square Tabby nods to this era while ensuring that you won’t accidentally start boogying down the street (unless, of course, that’s your thing). Designed as a modern twist on a Coach archival piece, it combines a nostalgic aura with the kind of sophistication that commands attention even in a bustling city. Its quilted nappa leather exterior demands admiration but couldn’t care less about what decade we’re in.
Breaking Down the Design Elements
The Times Square Tabby’s structured silhouette is a like a throwback to the structured attitude of vintage fashion. To better understand what this handbag is bringing to the table—or, dare I say, runway—let’s look at some of its defining features:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Material | Quilted nappa leather |
| Closure | Pushlock closure |
| Pocket Design | Magnetic snap pockets |
| Short Strap Drop | Detachable, 10 1/2″ |
| Long Strap Drop | Detachable, 21 1/2″ |
Quilted nappa leather could make even a seasoned fashionista feel like a kid in a candy store. Let me be clear: if your handbag doesn’t require you to run your fingers over it for the sheer tactile experience, you might as well be holding a sack of potatoes.

Functionality: Because Life Demands More Than Just Looking Pretty
A Closer Look at Usability
You’ve probably experienced the frustration of a bag that’s more style than function—it’s like gelato in the summer: gorgeous, but potentially messy. Unlike its cool-but-impractical cousins, the Times Square Tabby offers a sense of efficiency akin to that friend who always brings a backup charger. Trust me, this is no meaningless eye candy; it’s a well-organized symphony of storage options designed to hand you your lipstick instead of swallowing it forever. The pushlock closure means those “I CAN’T FIND IT!” moments will be fewer and quieter.
Adjustable Straps: The Bag that Does It All
For some reason, bags always seem to assume we like a one-size-fits-all approach to carrying. The Times Square Tabby heard those cries of discomfort and gives you the choice to carry it as a crossbody or let it gracefully dangle from your shoulder (or even in the crook of your arm like you’re royalty). With a detachable strap length of 10 1/2″ and another at 21 1/2″, you’ve got flexibility as you strutt—or speed-walk to your next destination.

Living the Dream: Usage Scenarios
The Office Conundrum
Working 9 to 5 isn’t just a phrase immortalized by Dolly Parton; it’s a reality requiring a functional and fabulous bag. Picture it: you’re waltzing into the office, expertly avoiding all spills with your coffee in one hand and your Coach Times Square Tabby slung elegantly on your shoulder. Perhaps you pause for a moment at a colleague’s desk and they notice that your handbag matches your confident smile.
Weekend Warrior
Is it a weekend brunch or an impromptu adventure? Either way, your Times Square Tabby is ready for action. Transitioning from day to night becomes as smooth as the proverbial butter that you might accidentally leave out in your rush to get to brunch. Pack it with whatever your heart desires—whether that’s essentials or impracticalities like a tiny yappy dog… I won’t judge.

Detailing a Vibrant Experience
The Leather Affair
I’m not saying that owning this bag is akin to having a love affair, but I’m not not saying it either. Once you’ve run your fingers across its quilted nappa leather exterior, you might find yourself involuntarily referring to it as “my darling” at breakfast.
Color Options and Personality Matches
Choosing a handbag color is no less serious than choosing a new paint color for your living room. After all, a bag goes everywhere you do. While I haven’t been blessed with an array of eccentric aunties, I do have a friend who sees the world in colors—and she’s been known to declare that the shade of moss green a person chooses is a window into their soul. Whether you pick a classic black or a daring pop of color, let it be an extension of your personality.

The Competitive Landscape: Where Does It Stand?
Let’s face it, the market is cluttered with contenders all claiming to be the bag that will ‘change your life.’ The Times Square Tabby asks, “Why settle for less when you can have style with substance?” Consider, for a moment, how it stacks up against other bags in its league:
- Brand X Midi Bag: Costs less but shuts you down with one too many cheap zippers.
- Brand Y Crossbody: Looks chic but can barely hold a Tic Tac alongside your phone.
When it comes to combining historical flair and modern functionality, the Times Square Tabby doesn’t just enter the ring—it pirouettes into the spotlight.

The Verdict: Have I Found ‘The One’?
If the heart-thumping thrill of spotting an exquisite piece at a vintage store could be bottled (or bagged), it would be Coach’s Times Square Tabby. This is the handbag that uncomplicates your life while keeping you stylish. I suggest running—not walking—to embrace this arm candy before it decides it’s too good for us mere mortals.
So, are we ready to part ways with our cosmic black hole of a handbag? When it comes to practical luxury wrapped in vintage elegance, the Times Square Tabby is resoundingly a “yes” in my book, or should I say, in my bag.
