Best Bags for Upstate Getaways
Slouchy silhouettes, rich autumnal hues and effortless wearability.
- The Brooklyn, Chelsea and Bleecker are a few Coach favourites for an upstate fall getaway, combining seasonal style, comfort and versatility.
- Whether you need an expandable carryall, a roomy shoulder bag or a hands-free crossbody, these silhouettes are designed for every weekend trip.
- With soft shapes, rich autumnal hues and effortless wearability, these styles pair well with flannels, knits, leather jackets (and other fall favourites).
It’s finally time to sink into all those soft, comfortable layers and embrace the newfound chill in the air. And what better way to do that than with a quick upstate getaway?
The bag you take with you should do more than just carry the essentials—it should serve as an extension of your personal fall style, adding luxe texture (think soft, supple suede) and rich colour (like chocolate brown or maple). And like the rest of your autumnal wardrobe, your getaway bag should be comfortable, too.
Here are a few Coach bags for upstate getaways that fit right in with warm flannels, chunky knits and leather jackets.
The Expandable Carryall: Brooklyn
There’s something inherently cosy (and therefore fall-ish) about soft, slouchy bag silhouettes—and you can’t get slouchier than the Brooklyn. From hikes through nature to leaf-peeping strolls to people-watching with a view, the Brooklyn is made to move with you from one upstate activity to the next, matching both your comfiest loungewear (like your go-to matching set) and most elevated fall wardrobe picks (like your favourite suede ankle booties and cashmere sweater).
The Slouchy Shoulder Bag: Chelsea
Effortlessly cool and undeniably sophisticated, consider Chelsea your new favourite take on the unstructured shoulder bag. Stash everything you need inside its roomy interior for all your upstate getaway plans, whether that includes walking through a charming country town, exploring the local farmer’s market or grabbing ice cream with some friends. To enhance the fall vibes even further, go with a style in an autumnal shade like chocolate brown or maple.
The Minimalist Crossbody: Bleecker
A hands-free bag makes hiking through nature, exploring the changing leaves and snapping photos with friends much easier (especially when you’re holding a warm coffee in one hand and your digital camera in the other). Spacious, streamlined, stylish—the list goes on and on—the Bleecker is the ultimate minimalist carryall that really does carry it all. Throw in everything you need to embrace your inner tourist, plus an extra layer or two for when it gets brisk out there.

Fall is all about layering different materials—think chunky knits with lived-in leather or cosy shearling with warm corduroy. When it comes to your bag for the season, try one of these rich textures for added depth.
- Suede: A suede bag adds rich texture and timeless elegance to any look, any season (especially fall). Style suede handbags with cosy knitwear or smooth leather for a layered look with depth.
- Shearling: Shearling is a luxuriously soft material considered a symbol of American cool (and one of our house codes). Style with chunky knits and other cosy fabrics for the ultimate autumn vibe.
- Natural Grain Leather: Natural Grain Leather only gets better with time. When worn often, your bag will mould to you—taking in the sunlight, air and oils from your skin for a naturally “broken in” look that complements the rich colour palettes and cozy layers of autumn.

What bag size is best for fall?
The best size bag for fall depends on your intended use. For example, expandable, slouchy carryalls are a go-to choice for toting around with a few extra layers (think a light sweater or comfy pullover). But if you plan to take your fall style companion with you for nights out on campus or college game days in the stadium, you might want to go with a smaller style that fits just the essentials (like your phone, keys and wallet).
