I Tested the Viral Coach Kisslock Clutch That Sells Out in Minutes

Published on April 4, 2026

As someone who works in New York City, I’m very particular about handbags. I’ve never been the stylish commuter who grabs a mini clutch and is off for a day of adventure from the office to dinner to cocktails. My work bag is essentially the equivalent of a car trunk for me, so the more space, the better. That said, it’s no surprise I gravitated to Coach’s recent oversize bag offerings, particularly the Coach Large Kisslock Frame Bag priced at $695.

But obviously, it’s not just about function. When I saw it on the runway, I immediately recognized the design inspiration: grandma’s coin purse. Coach actually cites the vintage Cashin Carry as its muse, the 1969 handbag conceived , the brand’s first lead designer. How innovative for Coach to reimagine that archival staple as an oversize It bag—I’ve never seen anything like it. I shared clips of the bag on TikTok, and immediately the comment section was flooded with praise. It was clear Coach had yet another burgeoning viral handbag moment on their hands; the bag sells out in just minutes. While the teddy bear and dinosaur styles are also on my shopping list, the kisslock frame bag feels especially fun and versatile, coming in an array of bold and neutral colors.

I have to admit, I had my reservations. The models carried the bag hoisted under their arms on the runway, and it looked cool and effortless, but I need to be on my phone, grabbing my wallet, pulling out my emotional support water bottle, applying my lip oil, taking my supplements, finishing my coffee, and probably something else I’m forgetting. A hands-free option is necessary! Fortunately, Coach planned for that and more.

What I like most about the Coach Large Kisslock Frame Bag is its ludicrous capacity. After the fashion show, I switched to flats and was looking for a tote to carry my knee-high boots. Imagine my surprise when they actually fit inside the Frame bag—it’s that roomy. To my delight, it includes a strap, so if you don’t feel like hoisting a substantial bag under your arm, you have an alternative for hands-free carrying.

It features an inside zip pocket, which eliminates the need for deep-sea diving to retrieve your wallet. However, if you prefer even more organization and easy access to smaller items, I recommend investing in a handbag organizer. The bag’s bold style is eye-catching, which is further proof that the loud-luxury trend is in full swing. If you lean towards a more understated yet roomy option, I’m equally in love with the Coach Soft Empire Carryall Bag, also priced at $695.

This bag truly marries style and function in ways that are hard to find. If you need a spacious, versatile carryall but are tired of being left out of the “It bag” conversation, this style is for you. It’s a rare head-turning conversation starter that doubles as a practical solution for your essentials.

The bag is perfect for everyone, from a college student needing to tote their laptop to class, to a parent whose bag must accommodate kids’ snacks and toys, to a commuter like myself whose essentials need to be within reach at all times. What sets this bag apart from your average roomy option is that you can tuck the handle in and be ready for any chic event on your social calendar.

The Coach Large Kisslock Frame Bag is available in colors like black, dark brown, and a vibrant rainbow logo style. Measuring 12.25 inches long, 11.75 inches high, and 7.75 inches wide, it features a detachable leather strap with a comfortable drop of 9.75 inches. The exterior is crafted from glove-tanned leather with a leather inner lining, ensuring both durability and flair.

You can shop for the Coach Large Kisslock Frame Bag on the brand’s official website and at Dillard’s, but be warned: it may not stay in stock long due to its immense popularity.
