A few months ago, I spotted Olivia Rodrigo carrying a vintage Coach Ergo bag in New York City. One paparazzi photo was all I needed to add it to my wishlist: It perfectly coordinated with the flowers on her easy midi dress and matched the cool-girl energy of her trendy moto boots. But the hours I spent searching for the same bag online were to no avail—until I saw that Coach released a new, very similar version in its latest collection. I’m calling it now: The Coach Curve Zip is going to become one of fall’s trendiest bags.
It's no coincidence that the Curve Zip looks a lot like Rodrigo’s Ergo. It's based off of an archival design called The Zip Bag, which was included in Coach's original Ergo collection that came out—and rose to cult fame—back in 1997. With its soft silhouette and long, slouchy handle, the 2024 version comes in five colors, including Rodrigo’s preferred red shade and a rich chocolate brown, tapping into one of fall's most in-demand hues.
