Great pre-loved condition, the bag is almost excellent had a previous owner’s feline friend not gotten to it. You can see where I restored the dark brown leather over top of the scratch and claw marks on the front panel of the bag. It was carefully buffed out, dyed over and sealed, it has a squeaky clean interior and essentially everywhere else is in immaculate condition

This is the perfect sized bag for a practical duffle look - not too oversized but this bag can fit a lot! It is clean, conditioned and ready to wear!

Early Coach bags were skillfully made from hearty, full-grain leather that is guaranteed to last many lifetimes. In the 1950’s, Coach manufactured men’s wallets using natural leather that was tanned for the production of baseball gloves. Later, their handbags were also crafted from this same leather - a quality material made specifically for repeated use that only gets more tough, worn-in and beautiful over time. It is colored with a mix of opaque aniline dyes and conditioners to allow for natural creases, pores, scars and grain to remain visible. Often left unlined, the exposed suede interior highlights the simple elegance of vintage Coach bags. The brand manufactured handbags from glove tanned leather with inspiration from their founding designer, Bonnie Cashin, to produce collections offered through the early 2000s.
