What do New York Fashion Week and Beyonce’s Renaissance tour have in common? A focus on metallics and shimmer. Whether it’s Queen Bey in a glittering silver cowboy hat and fringed boots or Christy Turlington slinking down the Ralph Lauren runway in gold lamé, it’s clear that, this fall, metallics are It. And since bags are such an easy way to incorporate trends, you need to know about the bold new drop from Coach. The brand’s Shine Collection is serving a serious dose of trailblazing silver with futuristic bags, shoes, and ready-to-wear — along with a message that’s as cutting-edge as its designs.

Coach’s star-studded “Wear Your Shine” campaign, featuring the likes of Dove Cameron, Lil Buck, Youngji Lee, and Yanfei Song, frames those dazzling metallics as an avenue to express one’s unique style and quiet self-doubt. Think of fashion as something that can both be bold and embolden, and Coach’s latest lineup of glossy, playful silhouettes allows for plenty of ways to inject your outfit with a little extra confidence — so you can literally (and figuratively) shine.

Whether you’re looking for a Y2K-influenced baguette, a demure top-handle bag, or a classic-with-a-twist shoulder bag, this collection has the “heirloom quality meets au courant aesthetics” energy that will make any capsule wardrobe glow.

Ahead, four chic metallic handbags that are about to be the must-have accessory of the season, and truly one of the most versatile bags in your collection.

You’ll be amazed at the many ways you can style the Tabby shoulder bag that brings an archival design fully into the future. Whether you use the detachable shoulder strap or the detachable top handle — or decide to use it as a clutch — the glossy silver metallic will add a confident pop your outfit.

A classic from the archives, the Penn shoulder bag embodies the heirloom Coach style you’ve come to expect from the brand, all updated with a chic metallic twist. It features a top-zip closure, has enough room to fit essentials like your phone and wallet, and the minimal design with its silver sheen can be dressed up or down — making this a bag you’ll want to wear constantly.

Before you head out the door, grab the Tabby crossbody wristlet. Not only will it make any outfit look instantly of-the-moment, it’s also got room for your phone and keys. It even comes with a detachable silver chain for optional crossbody wear for even more versatility. With two credit card slots and an exterior pocket, this is what you reach for when you need just the essentials.

At once polished and edgy, the Sammy bag is just as comfortable alongside daytime denim as it is with evening cocktails. The structured top handle and push-lock closure are nostalgic contrasts against the leather’s futuristic silver shimmer. This is a bag you’ll rely on for years to come.
