Run, Don’t Walk: Vintage Designer-inspired Bags at Target

 
 

I went into Target to get a minute to myself, and these bags genuinely stopped me and my chai latte in my tracks.

The backpack reminded me of a bag I used to have. I love the feel, I love the buckles, and it reminded me of being 17. I’m not upset about it.

Then I noticed the Y2K Coach-inspired bags right after. I went home ready to order one…and they’re not online!

the backpack was my favorite

obviously not the same bag...

But it immediately gave me the same vintage festival-backpack feel.

then I noticed the Y2K Coach-inspired bags

tell me you see it too

The pockets, the buckles, the shape, it immediately reminded me of the Y2K Coach bags.

and now I can’t decide on a color

I also found burgundy and cognac, which did not make the decision any easier.

The color with the gold buckles looks so good.

Cognac buckle shoulder bag found at Target

This is probably the one that would go with everything.

should you go look?

Yes. I can’t find them online, so this is officially a check-your-Target situation.

The backpack was my favorite, but the olive and burgundy bags were very close behind.

did you find one?

Tell me where you found it and which color you picked.
