There hasn’t been a particular model of Coach bags that’s had a huge impact – but the brand as a whole has been a leader in the purse world for over 75 years, and all of their vintage models are considered collector’s items by purse enthusiasts.Ĭoach was founded in 1941 under the name “Manhattan Leather Bags.” Inspired by the craftsmanship of baseball gloves, the company produced bags made out of high-quality tan leather with an impeccable attention to detail (as illustrated in the intricate stitchwork). Dumas pressed her for more details on what her ideal purse would look like, even having her sketch it on a napkin, and by the time the flight landed, he knew he needed to create the handbag for Hermes.Ĭoach bags Black coach bag via on Instagram Vintage coach bags via on Instagram Vintage coach bag via on Instagram VINTAGE COACH PLAZA via on Instagram VINTAGE COACH MINI SAFARI TOTE via on Instagram The two got to talking, and when Birkin knocked over her bag and spilled the contents on the floor, she commented about how she really needed a bag with pockets. The Birkin Bag is named after Jane Birkin, a British actress who ended up sitting next to former Hermes chief executive Jean-Louis Dumas on a flight from Paris to London. When it comes to using purses as a status symbol, no bag in history has had as much of an impact as the Hermes Birkin Bag.

In the 1980’s, designer Karl Lagerfeld changed the lock to feature Chanel’s Double C logo, which is now a staple on all Chanel flap purses. The original designs featured a logo-free lock with the word “Chanel” printed on the bottom. New iterations of the Chanel classic flap bag have been released for decades. It wasn’t until 1955, when Coco released the shoulder-strapped 2.55 flap bag, that the brand really took off – and purse history changed forever. Coco Chanel designed her first purse in the late 1920s, but the hand-carried model wasn’t a hit. Perhaps the most iconic bag of all time, the Chanel classic flap bag has been the status symbol of the purse world since the 50’s. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and look at some of the most popular vintage bags throughout the ages: Chanel Classic Flap Bag Chanel 2.55 reissue in 225 size, in aged calfskin with silver hardware via on Instagram Chanel flap bag via on Instagram Red Chanel bag via on Instagram There’s seemingly as many types and styles of purses as there are people – and that’s definitely been apparent when you look at vintage purses over the years.įrom vintage Coach to vintage Chanel bags, vintage leather messenger bags to vintage suede foldovers, there have been some many vintage purse trends over the years, it’s hard to keep track. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to purses. A purse is the perfect blend between fashion and function it acts as both a stylish accessory to accentuate a great outfit and a carryall for keeping all the things you need (wallet, phone makeup, jewelry) with you throughout the day. So when the leather handbag gurus at Coach unveiled their recent Legacy Collection-100-plus pieces inspired inspired by the house's 70-year-old design history-I was pretty jazzed to have the excuse to poke around their ridiculously tidy archives and snap some photos of some old school styles that inspired the Legacy line.Most women (and some men!) can’t live without their purse. Now, while sadly I only share 1.5 of what I imagine to be Coach girl characteristics (growing up in New England you had to learn on a stick and play with a stick-my grade school sport of choice was field hockey), but the love is all there, and has been, for quite some time.

( Just look in my closet and you'll see all my vintage favorites piled up in there.) There's something about their unembellished design, color saturated leathers and sleek, fuss-free shapes that imply that the woman carrying them knows how to drive a stick shift, can make a mean bolognese, tells a good dirty joke and was on the varsity something when she was in high school.
I have a thing-a big thing-for classic Coach bags.
