The Nolita Charm: Coach’s Canvas Barrel Bag Review
The two things that I look for in a bag is functionality and style. As someone who loves to lug their whole life around in a tote bag, it can be refreshing to just find a small bag to put all my necessities in and not feel like I’m missing anything at all.
When I came across Coach’s Nolita Barrel Bag in Signature Canvas at the Coach Outlet in Carmel by the Sea, I wasn’t worried at all at how small it was. All I could think of was purchasing it right then and there.
While it is tiny but mighty, this little purse sure fits a LOT inside. She’s versatile, timeless, and classy. I love that the bag also isn’t overly flashy, and it has that classic barrel shape that we all know and love.

An Ode to Signature Style
The Coach Nolita Barrel Bag takes its name from the vibrant Nolita neighborhood in New York, a place known for its charming, boutique-y vibe. Carrying this bag is an ode to wearing a piece of the neighborhood’s eclectic and undeniably chic history. In juxtaposition to its classic barrel shape, it’s also adorned with the classic signature canvas that we all known and love from Coach, making it an eye-catching piece without being too loud.

Design and Utility: Little Barrel of Elegance
The bag is tiny, and you might think that it having 8 x 5 x 3 in dimensions aren’t practical, but you’d be surprised! This is just enough to allow enough space to carry all your day-to-day necessities tastefully and comfortably.
Craftsmanship and Comfort in Every Stitch
Created with the iconic coated canvas and refined calf leather, the Nolita doesn’t compromise on quality. But who are we kidding? Coach never compromises on quality, that’s why we love it so much. Whether worn on the shoulder or just as a mini wristlet, it promises to ensure a seamless incorporation into your life and look. I personally love holding it in my hand and under my armpit, without the strap. It just adds another vibe to it.
The Perfect Companion for Every Occasion
The Nolita is versatile enough to transition from day to night effortlessly — sling it over your shoulder for a brunch date or wear it as a little arm accessory on a night out. Furthermore, pairing it with both casual and formal attire is breezy, making it the go-to accessory for every fashion-conscious individual.
I love wearing it with a cardigan and some loose jeans, or with trousers and a fitted blazer. You can wear just about anything and have this to top off your looks!
Final Thoughts on the Nolita Barrel Bag
In the world of fast fashion and fleeting trends, Coach is never one to give up its integrity and quality of craft for temporary trends. This bag has always been a staple and will continue to be one, making it the perfect bag for the it-girls this season.
