This Celeb-Approved Bag Is The Key To Mastering Your Peak Y2K Aesthetic
That’s hot.
Y2K called... And it wants some (more) space in your closet. Styles from the early aughts continue to make their presence felt in the design world, and Coach Outlet’s celeb-approved Teri shoulder bag is the key to mastering your peak Y2K aesthetic. Based on shoulder bags from the late nineties, the style calls to mind those early-aughts baguette bags made famous by Paris Hilton and Sarah Jessica Parker, and today’s Teri boasts its own lineup of celeb endorsements: Jennifer Lopez herself is a fan. Say less.
As it is, you can’t go wrong with a Coach Outlet bag; they’re backed by more than 80 years of heritage craftsmanship, but at an extremely wallet-friendly price. A part of the hot new fall Coach campaign, the Teri is poised to become the next “It Bag” — a piece that combines timeless and trending design elements. Consider this your sign to nab the Teri. The minimalist silhouette can go casual or dressy — and, if you’re really wanting to amp up the Y2K flavor of the bag, it comes in a logo canvas that would make Paris Hilton proud.
Modern Design Meets Early Aughts Style
With its elongated shape and gently curved top, it’s immediately apparent that the Teri bag is a riff on the baguette styles that became so popular in the early aughts. Shown above in black pebbled leather, the bag is minimal-chic — an ideal day-to-night piece that’s structured but not rigid, and elevated by gleaming gold-toned hardware. When it comes to versatility, the Teri leaves no crumbs: A detachable top handle and crossbody strap allow you to carry it in-hand, draped over a shoulder, or worn as a crossbody bag.
Day-To-Night Functionality
It’s not just the stripped-down yet elevated aesthetic that makes the Teri bag so versatile; its design is sized perfectly for both daytime and evening needs. The interior features a single compartment roomy enough to fit your phone, wallet, keys, and ear buds, along with a little wiggle room for lip balm or perfume. If your plans include happen to include dancing, the zippered top keeps all your items secure — and you can always make use of the optional crossbody strap if you prefer to go hands-free.
This versatile spirit extends to the colorways, as well, with versions of this bag to suit seemingly any aesthetic. This season’s runways saw a surge of chocolate brown, so this maple version is an immediate yes — especially given that it’s rendered in Spazzolato leather. The luminous finish rests somewhere between pebbled and patent, polished enough for evening ensembles without being too flashy for daytime wear.
How To Style The Teri Bag
While there’s no aesthetic the Teri bag can’t get along with, it’s the key to mastering on-trend Y2K looks. If you’re wondering what to wear with that halter top or cargo pants, the answer is the Teri. When you’re styling a satin slip dress, the structured look of the Teri is also ideal. You could go full Regina George and pair it with a pleated mini skirt and kitten heels, or you might instead nod to the bag’s classic foundations by pairing it with a floaty midi skirt and silk tank. On casual days, you’ll find the Teri bag’s understated sensibility plays well with virtually any kind of denim; go trendy with baggy jeans and a suede jacket, or try it with a preppy sweater vest and straight-leg denim. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg — with so many Y2K styles coming back, the styling options are endless.
