While Emma Roberts waited for valet to bring her car in Beverly Hills, we took it as an opportunity to admire her new bag: Coach's legacy leather penny shoulder bag ($198). While her exact burgundy color isn't available online, you can shop others like green, red, pink, cognac, purple, turquoise, and black. We love everything about it from the adorable size to the rich hue to the turnlock closure.
