Best Quilted Leather Shoulder Bag

Coach Tabby 20 Quilted Leather Shoulder Bag ($395)

This cheery, quilted bag has a monochromatic look, thanks to the yellow hardware. Even the chain strap is braided with leather to incorporate the color. Our editor tested it out and was surprised by how many things she could carry in this compact shoulder bag. For more details, read her Coach Tabby 20 Quilted Leather Shoulder Bag review.

Editor quote: "First and foremost, I love just how much I can fit into this accessory, despite its compact size. The bag is deceptively spacious, with an exterior pocket, a zippered interior pocket, and three roomy divided sections on the inside. The interior is, in fact, big enough to fit everything from an iPhone 13 to a passport holder, sunglasses, car keys, emergency lipstick, and more. While I generally prefer large tote bags and oversize accessories that can hold the many essentials I travel with on a daily basis, this piece has surprised me in the best way — it's smaller than virtually every bag in my closet and still manages to hold all of my everyday must haves." — Kyley Warren, assistant editor, Commerce
