The Brooklyn Shoulder Bag comes in two sizes, the smaller 28 style which retails for $295 and the larger 39 which runs just under $500. I opted for the larger as it was the one Hadid chose as well. My very first thought upon pulling it out of the shopping bag was that this tote is incredibly lightweight. Seriously, it feels like air, which is a very important quality for a large tote—if it’s already fairly hefty before you put anything in it, that weight is going to become annoying very quickly. The other thing I latched onto was the stunning shape and structure.
This Coach design has the vibes of a slouchy, boho tote, but in reality has a decent amount of structure, such that it sits upright when plopped on my desk. And the singular shoulder strap also straddles an ideal balance between minimalist and sturdy. It’s also wide enough to feel very comfortable on my shoulder without digging in, even when I loaded up my tote with as much as it could fit to truly test the carrying capacity.
The size has a magical Mary Poppins quality—it doesn’t feel that large on your shoulder nor does it look awkwardly large, and yet has room for an immense number of everyday essentials. It more than comfortably fit my 13-inch MacBook Pro work laptop alongside noise cancelling headphones, sunglasses in a rigid case, a 20oz water bottle, a hardcover book and, of course, my phone and wallet.
