These are the products we considered that ultimately didn't make our top 5. Women's Outline Signature Zip Tote. Coach has come quite a long way from the family-owned and operated leather goods company that it began as. Today, the leather goods company has evolved into a huge brand known around the world, and for many, the Coach brand is synonymous with nostalgia.
Fittingly enough, this celebratory collection, which is being presented look by look on the brand's Instagram page , is a mix of new, vintage and archival styles. Titled 'Coach Forever' this new collection, designed under the reign of Creative Director Stuart Vevers, is refreshingly cool. The brand looked to its Coach Family to present this celebratory season, featuring icons both new and old such as Debbie Harry, Megan Thee Stallion, Kate Moss and more. With this collection Vever's also further tapped into the brand's growing focus on fashion's sustainable future.
As for the bags, classics like the Dinky, and Coach Rogue are featured here as well as an iconic reinterpretation of a s classic, the Cashin Carry Shopping Bag. Dating back to , this leather carryall was redesigned for today, and created in the brand's hometown of NYC, as a Love Letter to New York. Featured in a myriad of colors, this redesign is sleek and classic in soft leather with clean lines.
Another stand out design is a large hobo silhouette, finished with intricate woven leather detailing and shown in Coach's classic tan.

The fact that, while still making a profit, they dumped all the skilled American workers responsible for their success and offshored production to cheap labor countries?
NAFTA, globalization, and our own political decision making decided that manufacturing was unimportant to our economy. So are they a Chinese or Asian brand now? Good, we Asians will gladly claim Coach as our own, thank you. Be our guest. I agree. Not to mention pushing their popular designs into their cheap outlet versions within months which makes me frustrated having spent sometimes up to 10 times the amount at the regular store to see it being copied into a cheaper version.
Truth be told the Prez and Ivanka did have their clothing lines made in China. He had ties made and she had clothing, shoes, etc. And yes, I absolutely blame Trump for the pathetic disaster that US is turning out to be this year.
Reed Krakoff killed what was special about Coach and drove it into the mass market ground. RK is a monster and he is now killing Tiffany — his own brand reed krakoff was completely made in China. Definitely not zero. They offered to buy then tried to back out. Tiffany is suing LVMH for this right now. Tiffany is suing LVMH for this. I hope this collection is made in USA — looks like the entire collection belongs in your local thrift shop???? The only Coach item I am even remotely interested in buying this season is in the Basquiat Collection.
Well, gee, that was boring.. Dooney still does it for me.. Cause they should be. It does not wave the American flag in its branding the way Coach does. In fact, they do anything but. The flag Coach waves is a false one and continuing to promulgate the Coach hypocrisy does PB no credit.
Are you aware that European designer bags are sometimes made in Asia as well? I appreciate originality, but this is not it. Thank you, I knew he painted a lot of things, but not a banana.
Anyway, what I meant to write was that the Coach banana strongly resembled the Prada banana, but in retrospect you are correct that they both resembled the Warhol banana.
Her name is Quinn Lucia Tortilla. She likes Coach bags, too. We will add to it as time allows. When we discover a rare bag or a new color we will certainly revise this post and add it. We will not, however, cover every bag ever made by Coach. We will focus on the vintage leather bags that we like most. The bags that we will feature will likely not have an interior lining.
We love Bonnie Cashin and will try to share as many of them as we can get our hands on This guide will not be in chronological order, alphabetical order, or in any kind of order at all.
Just sharing the bags that we love and what we have learned about them. If you wish to leave comments, please do. I cannot answer them easily due to the way that Shopify has our blogs set up. I am looking into installing Disqus on my website so that we can have a running discussion thread.
They charge for that service so I will wait until this post has some sizable content. If you have questions you can email me at yourgreatfinds aol. It may take me a couple of days to answer you. I will not answer inquiries on the value of a bag or how you should price your bag to sell it. Often times I will have to ask Emily to answer because she has the extensive knowledge. She is a college student so sometimes we'll have to wait until she's available to get a good answer. Emily is much better at it than I am.
You'll soon be able to tell who is talking to you in each paragraph. So let's get started! Vintage Coach bags have a distinct look and feel that you won't find with newer bags. This includes the "C" logo print fabric bags; these were made later in the s and are not vintage. The leather on the true vintage bags is full-grain leather, which is the best of the best, so it is very thick and durable. It tends to have natural scars and wrinkles and striations, and "full-grain" means that these "flaws" in the top layer of the leather were not shaven off or removed.
The leather in the newer bags mids onward is thinner and smoother to the touch, and is, in my opinion, not as high-quality. Finally, if a bag is made in China, it is not vintage. The City Bag was the first vintage Coach style that I collected. It is a classic purse with a flap and a turn lock.
There is an exterior slip pocket on the back that I love to keep my keys in. Never get lost! Under the flap is another slip pocket. Inside you'll find a zippered pocket with the creed. The suede interior is actually the back side of the leather. It has a long cross body strap with a buckle that allows you to adjust the length.
I have 9 of them in various colors. It comes in more. Super bag that holds quite a lot and is a comfortable shape that hugs your hip. This is such a versatile bag, and despite it being the mini version, it holds a ton of stuff. I've taken my mini Daypacks on hikes and can fit a water bottle, sunscreen, sunglasses, as well as all of the normal contents of my purse.
It's such a useful style. The Willis is one of Coach's most popular and classic styles. In fact, in recent years, Coach has revamped this style of bag and re-released it in their Archive collection although we are suckers for the full-grain leather of the true vintage bags.
Nothing else compares! We recently found this rare pristine Red Willis. It's available on my website HERE. The Winnie is one of the more rare styles of vintage Coach, especially in colors such as red and periwinkle. It is essentially a mini Willis hence the name Winnie , and it one of my personal all-time favorite styles. It surprisingly holds a lot more than you would think!
The Duffle Sac is hands down one of my most essential bags. I call it my Mary Poppins bag because I swear I could fit a whole horse in one of these things. The Duffle Sac is one of the earliest styles that Coach started making, dating back to the late s. They were in production all the way until the early s, and much like the Willis, there were some remakes of this style in Coach's Archive collection.
The one in the image with the seam down the middle is from the late 60s or early 70s. It was made before Coach used their signature creed and serial numbers, so it only has a tiny "Coach" stamp in it that helps me date it.
These are known as "pre-creed" bags. Coach bags like this were made in their factory in New York City up until around , when they expanded their factories to elsewhere in the U. It appears that Coach may be making a modern version of this bag. I do believe that this came in a large and small size. This is small. This was made in Number A8P This one is the coveted Costa Rica leather. This bag is my number one favorite Coach bag that I own. I have worn this thing into the ground and it still looks brand new with a little leather conditioner.
It is basically a rounded version of the Court bag, but for some reason I like it so much better than the Court. It is also harder to find than the Court bag.
It comes in two sizes; mine is the smaller of the two. I picked this up at an antique market about two years ago, and it was one of my first few Coach bags that started my obsession. There is something so classy about this style. The Courier was made exclusively during the s in the NYC factories, which makes it a very rare style. The Courier comes in two sizes; I have a "baby Courier" in my personal collection the one in the honey color shown below and have come across two of the larger Couriers shown below in the past.
It was made in the s. It was designed by Bonnie Cashin and was a take-off of a bag that she designed before her association with Coach. That bag was called The Cashin Carry.
It has the kiss lock coin purse on the outside and a slip in pocket inside. The zipper is one of the highest quality zippers ever madea Talon zipper in solid brass. The earlier bags such at the two above have a very high-end, well-made zipper by Talon.
