You know a bag is set on becoming a classic of the house once it’s introduced in new sizes and colour options for the upcoming season. Case in point? Coach’s latest ‘work-meets-play’ Troupe Tote, which now comes in a petite size that could very well be your new favourite crossbody bag. Yes, even though it’s classified as a tote (double top handles, trapezoid-shaped body, etc), the Troupe Tote 16 comes with an extra long shoulder strap, with a drop length of 54.5 cm that allows you to sling it comfortably however you please.

Measuring 19.5 cm high and 17 cm wide, the bag opens via the magnetic bar closure to a roomy interior that will house your daily bits and bobs. That includes your mobile phone, mini wallet, and several travel-sized beauty essentials for all your touch-ups on the go. Reinforced with precise stitching at the edges, it is furnished with four protective feet at the base to prevent damage on the underside.

Everyone loves options, and it’s worth noting that Coach has created multiple versions of the bag in various colours and materials. Fan of the brand’s signature Glove-tanned leather? You will find the Troupe Tote 16 (SGD750) available in full Deep Red as well as a fun colour block option referred to as Lilac Berry Multi. The ones in natural pebbled leather come in Cadet (Deep Blue), and there’s also a version in exotic snakeskin that’s priced a tad higher at SGD950. And yes, they are all available at Coach boutiques in Singapore. Time for some #selflove?
