My first introduction to Coach was in the early 2000s via my mom (a tale as old as time), but the brand reappeared on my radar in 2019 when they launched their soon-to-be-viral Tabby bags. Thanks to the iconic brand resurrection that followed, Coach is basically synonymous with trendy Gen Z style now. And if you’ve been trying to hop on the Coach train in a more wallet-friendly way, don't sleep on the Coach Outlet.

What’s the difference between Coach and the Coach Outlet, you ask? First of all, a lot of items are made specifically for the Coach Outlet, so it isn’t just a place where overstock is sold. The outlet also sells items that are available at the regular Coach store, but most Coach Outlet items are exclusive to the outlet as well as more budget-friendly. And when it comes to design differences, Coach Outlet bags typically featured the horse and carriage logo, whereas regular coach bags will have the more minimal 'Coach' or ‘C’ logo.

Not every Coach Outlet item is marked down, but if you do a little digging (or just read this article where I summarize all of my very extensive digging), you’ll see that there are plenty of cute, under $300 bags to be found. A sturdy black bag that you’ll use on the daily? Yep. A chic little Y2K-inspired shoulder bag? Obviously. A trendy novelty wallet, a Pinterest-worthy card case, or that cherry keychain that everyone has? All of that and plenty more below, so keep scrolling for the best items the Coach Outlet has to offer right now!

Studs and rivets are trending hard this year, and this little black bag with subtle Western vibes is the perfect way to get in on the action. Anyone attending a music festival or the Cowboy Carter tour this year? At 70% off, I'd snag this baby if I were you.

Coach Lip Card Case

Lip Card Case

Yes, I immediately this little card case to my cart as I was writing this article. I mean, I've paid more for a trip to Sweetgreen (oops), so it was a no-brainer. With four slots, it'll hold your driver's license and a few essential credit cards.

This Very Serious and Useful Bag with a $450 value (!!) will take you everywhere from the office to the airport. You'll get tons of mileage out of this purchase.

For a updated version of a little shoulder bag, try a barrel silhouette. It's under $90, and despite the small size, it packs a huge aesthetic punch.

Nothing says summer like a pretty woven purse! If you have any beach vacations on the docket, you'll want to bring this little shoulder bag along.

April showers bring May flowers, and I personally would take this 3D crossbody bag over a bouquet any day. (Okay, actually I take that back, I'd like both, please!)

As someone who is an avid defender of the color green, it's my duty to tell you that this pretty olive shade is, in fact, a neutral. You'll be able to wear it with everything!

I feel like I see a cool girl walking around NYC carrying a purse with this exact cherry charm dangling off of it at least one a week. This bag charm has peak retro vibes.

Coach Laurel Shoulder Bag

Laurel Shoulder Bag

Will this classic silhouette ever go out of style? Probably not. The Laurel is big enough to hold all of your essentials and then some (portable charger/digital camera/an actual wallet rather than a couple of loose credit cards, I'm looking at you!).

If only the rest of my life could be as whimsical and delightful as this little doodle-covered wallet. It comes with a wrist strap, too—so practical!

You can still score the iconic Y2K vibes of a 2000s Coach bag without needing to scour the internet for an actual vintage purse. This buckled style has silver hardware and an early aughts feel.

Minimalist girlies, this neutral bag with oh-so-subtle branding is simply calling your name! The gold buckle is a nice touch, too.

Coach Mini Skinny ID Case

Chronic wallet-forgetters will love the ability to latch their cards and cash onto their keys (no, seriously, then you only have to remember one thing). This denim fabric is such an iconic Coach motif, too.

This bag is smart and structured (aka two things my therapist would like me to work on, lol).
