I think once you become a vintage Coach fan, you almost certainly become a Bonnie Cashin fan.. at least that's how it happened to me! I was so psyched to find this treasure, you have no idea. Designed by Bonnie Cashin, this bag was made for Meyers in the 1970s when she moved on from being Coach's first designer, a position she held for 12 years. The silhouette is so Cashin though she used decidedly different leather... still beautiful even after 40 years, but definitely different from the full-grain leather used in Coach bags, it has a sheen to it. Anyhow, enough back story, on to the gem of a bag itself: It's a delightful slim, small satchel with a larger top handle, so it can be worn on the forearm to free up your hands.

~CONDITION:
Excellent vintage condition. THere are so stains, worn corners, or popped stitches; the leather on every Bonnie Cashin for Meyers piece that I have ever been fortunate enough to have has all stood up very well. I really had to hunt for the embossed logo on this satchel to be honest. I KNEW just from looking at it who designed it and for whom... but holy cats is that stamp FAINT! I have added the best photos that I can.
I am always happy to answer any questions you may have.
