I love checking out the old school purses when I’m thrifting and
going to garage/estate sales.
A few months ago I snagged this classic coach purse for under $10.
The funny thing is…it’s very
similar to one I had 26 years ago. Mine had a long strap
and was a little more rectangular shape.
These purses hold up amazingly well. It must be due to the
quality of craftsmanship and leather they use..
Added bonus….The real brass hardware
gets a fantastic patina as it ages.
When looking for the real old school deal, look for the inner
coach stamp and the exterior coach leather tag.
The Coach website has this classic style listed at $248.00.
It’s called Janice’s Legacy
It may seem boring, but plain has its perks.
Do you have an old coach purse? You might want to
bring it out of the archives…
Everything old is new again …right 🙂
You can also tell a real Coach by making sure the zipper says “YKK”.
Thanks Deb…I wonder what year they started using the TKK zipper.
I don’t see the YKK on my old classic. What part of the zipper is it on… Mine has a leather tab.
Awesome find! Looks like it’s in great condition! Also interesting that the swing pack is very much in fashion these days. 🙂 Lucky you.
