We Thought It Was Over, But Apparently Chic Women in New York Still Wear This 2025 Bag Trend


While scrolling on TikTok mid–New York Fashion Week, I came across a video of Elle Fanning sprawled out on an old orange-and-yellow Subway seat reading a tiny book.

Upon further inspection, I realized this was taken after the Coach F/W 26 show, and the tiny book was actually a bag charm by the brand. The actress, who is nominated for an Oscar for her role in last year’s Sentimental Value, attended the show while wearing a whimsical Coach look that featured a long white dress with sparkling star details, a fur-trimmed leather coat, and a plush brown Tabby bag.

Of course, dangling from the Tabby bag was the aforementioned book charm, which was a miniature version of Sense and Sensibility, the 1811 novel by Jane Austin that follows the Dashwood sisters as they navigate love and heartbreak following their father’s death.
