As a New York City commuter, finding the perfect handbag is essential for me. I need a bag that can hold all my essentials for a day of work, dinner, and cocktails without sacrificing style. So when I came across Coach’s recent oversize bag offerings, particularly the Coach Large Kisslock Frame Bag ($695), I knew I had found my new go-to bag.
But it’s not just about functionality – when I saw this bag on the runway, I immediately recognized the design inspiration: my grandma’s coin purse. Coach actually drew inspiration from its own archival staple, the 1969 Cashin Carry handbag designed by Bonnie Cashin, the brand’s first lead designer. I was blown away by how Coach reimagined this vintage style into an oversize, statement-making It bag – it’s truly innovative and unique. When I shared clips of the bag on TikTok, the comment section was flooded with praise. It was evident that Coach had yet another viral handbag moment on their hands, with the bag selling out in minutes. While I also have my eye on the teddy bear and dinosaur styles, the Kisslock Frame Bag stands out with its versatility and comes in a variety of bold and neutral colors.
I must admit, I had my reservations at first. On the runway, the models carried the bag under their arms, giving off a cool and effortless vibe. But for me, I need my hands free to be on my phone, grab my wallet, and access my essentials easily. Fortunately, Coach had thought of everything.
So here is my full review of the Coach Large Kisslock Frame bag.
What I Love About the Coach Large Kisslock Frame Bag
First and foremost, this bag is incredibly spacious. It’s like having a car trunk with you at all times. In fact, after the fashion show, I switched to flats and needed a bag to carry my knee-high boots. To my surprise, they fit perfectly in the Frame bag – that’s how roomy it is.
But what I love even more is that it also comes with a strap. So if you don’t feel like carrying a large bag under your arm, you have the option to wear it hands-free. This versatility makes it perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a busy day at work or a night out with friends.

What’s Worth Noting About the Coach Large Kisslock Frame Bag
The bag also features an inside zip pocket, making it easy to find your essentials without digging through the entire bag. But if you prefer even more organization, I suggest investing in a handbag organizer ($7, originally $10) to keep everything in place.
Another thing to note is that this is a bold style that demands attention. It’s further proof that the loud-luxury trend is having a moment. However, if you prefer a more understated look, I highly recommend the Coach Soft Empire Carryall Bag ($695).
Who is the Coach Large Kisslock Frame Bag Best For?
This bag effortlessly combines style and function, making it perfect for anyone who needs a spacious, versatile carryall. Whether you’re a college student who needs to carry a laptop, a parent with kids’ snacks and toys, or a commuter like myself with essential items always on hand – this bag is for you. And what sets it apart from other roomy bags is that you can tuck the handle in and be ready for any stylish event on your social calendar.
