I am crazy for the SoHo Bag. I have one that I use a lot, for weekenders, to take to the office, as a carry on bag, even to lug my 2 dogs' stuff around in when we travel. It holds a boatload! Laptops are a breeze, along with books, binders, a water bottle, and even some lunch! Before Coach launched the Soho Collection, this bag was part of the Lightweights Collection. Eventually they dropped the Lightweights and carried on with the Sohos; this bag is from when it was still part of the Lightweights Collection, and judging by the way the numbers are stamped, it dates to the late 80s. From a more practical standpoint the Soho leathers are lightweight, you don't get bogged down with the weight of the bag before you put all your goodies in it; so awesome.

~CONDITION:
Very good vintage condition. There are no popped stitches or stains, just the faintest of surface marks along the bottom 1/4 of the sides and the base-- you have to get right up on them to see them (see pics). I've gone ahead and given it the full refurbishing treatment: Bath, slowly dried it, polished the brass, and given it a deep conditioning; and this bag takes copious amounts of conditioner and time to do! It is now ready to head off on its next lifetime of adventures.
As always, I am always happy to answer any questions you may have. Just PM me.
