Calling on the likes of Paloma Elsesser, Jennifer Lopez, and Binx Walton to star in its latest campaign, Coach dropped a new take on its famous Tabby bag this week. Soon after another style was blown up to massive proportions on RuPaul’s Drag Race last month, this one also gets the XXL treatment – as the house revealed a huge pillowy version ideal to hug in lockdown, starved of human contact. Sadly, it’s for show only: but you can get your hands on the regular-sized version here.
