There’s something special about the pieces Coach made in the early 90s—before logos got louder, before trends moved faster.
This Mitchell Zip from 1994 is a perfect example of that era: understated, beautifully constructed, and designed to last decades—not seasons.
Crafted from rich black glovetanned leather, the surface has developed a soft, natural sheen that only comes with time and proper care. The silhouette is clean and quietly structured, making it one of the most versatile vintage Coach styles—equally at home worn casually or elevated for a more refined look.
Unlike more common styles, the Mitchell Zip has a slightly more minimal, elongated profile—something that feels especially relevant again today. It’s the kind of piece you reach for daily without thinking… and keep for years without replacing.
