Before the Soho Collection, there was the Lightweight Collection; born of thin, but strong and super soft leathers, they were meant to have a drape to them that gave a less structured look. Personally, I love any of the lighter weight Coach bags for larger pieces; you can fill the purse and not have to worry about the bag itself really adding to the weight. My 12" laptop easily fits in, and there's lots of room to spare. Whether you use it for business, travel, or as a chic overnight bag, you won't go wrong with it! The Berry color was a seasonal color that was only used around 1992; it's more of a wine color than a deep berry red.

~CONDITION:
Very good vintage condition. It shows very minimal wear on the top lip and bottom corners (zoom in to the pics) that can easily be masked with some Meltonian or the like... it is just surface wear rather than structural. Thankfully it's down by the bottom, so you can't really see it unless you get up on it. I've gone ahead and given it a cleaning with saddle soap, dried it, polished the brass and conditioned the whole bag in preparation for its next stop in life.
As ever, I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
