Authentic 1970s Coach Bonnie Cashin tote, handmade in New York City from rich dark-brown glove-tanned leather with brass hardware.

Features Cashin’s "watermelon" shaped signature kiss-lock coin pocket on front -- a design hallmark that defined her collaboration with Coach, as well as a top-zip main compartment, and original Coach hangtag. This was my mom's, and it's in excellent vintage condition.

(It's been in a felt bag for 50 years.)

A true collectible heritage Coach bag — rare example of early American leather craftsmanship.
