If you're looking for a really great travel companion or gym bag, look no further. This Coach Compass 35 with Pockets is going to be one of my favorite bags. If you'd like to see what fits and how this bag compares to some of my other bags in my collection, check out the video below.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall.
This bag has so many options. You can carry it by the top handle, or choose between two straps that it comes with. I'm a crossbody gal so I will always choose the crossbody strap but it also comes with a shoulder strap as well.
I'm not going to sugar coat it, this is a big bag. I don't typically need a bag this large, but there are times when a bigger bag is useful. For instance, I'm already planning on bringing this bag with me on my next road trip. There are so many pockets for snacks, receipts, mints, AirPods, etc.
The crossbody strap is super comfortable and very adjustable. The fabric is soft webbing which I love.
The shoulder strap is not adjustable and it's on the thinner side but I still found it to be comfortable to use.
The color is navy/green but it definitely could pass for a faded black. Up close you can see the hints of green and navy.
Let's take a closer look at the details of the bag.
First off, the leather is absolutely amazing. This is Coach's newest version of their Loved Leather. If you weren't a fan of the Loved Leather that was used on their Empire bags, you may like this leather more. I definitely do. The leather feels slightly pebbled and fairly soft. I think this bag has a lot of potential to become very slouchy.
The back of the bag is plain and here you can really see some hints of blue/green in the leather. The hardware is silver and the zippers are all very smooth.
Bottom of the bag has four feet and there's extra reinforcement on the bottom which is always appreciated. The inside is lined with black fabric. I'm not a huge fan of fabric lining but for $495, I can't really complain. There's a large zippered pocket on one side and two smaller slip pockets on the opposite side.

What a nice bag! I can see how it would be practical for road trips, as you said. At this time in my life, I don’t have a need for a large bag though.
ReplyDeleteTYSM! It'll be a good reason for me to travel more often. 😅
