A visual guide for collectors and enthusiasts
Update 9/16/26Â
Watermarks have now been added to contributor photos (took a while 😅). I've also started uploading some additional styles that have been waiting in the wings, so keep an eye out for new handbag entries. Doing what I can on my short break before Fall classes start (I'm a student); any updates not made at this point will likely wait until Winter. As always, feel free to reach out if you have any Cashin bags I'm missing or if you catch any typos.Â
If you're feeling generous and would like to help a girl out, I do accept tips ;)

This site is a collector's guide dedicated to the earliest handbags produced by Coach Leatherware, featuring Bonnie Cashin's "Cashin-Carry" designs. Here you'll find reference materials for Coach history, dating and identifying your vintage Coach bags, specifically from the 60s through early 70s. Recently added by popular demand is a Bonnie Cashin for Meyers section, located under the style guide tab.Â
 The emphasis of this site is accuracy, and I've spent a great deal of time poring over various resources to get the details as correct as possible. I will keep updating information as I continue my findings, and more photos will be added to the style guide as collectors submit them.Â
Special thanks to my friends in the vintage Coach community who have collaborated with me on this project; I couldn't have put this together without you, and I hope you all enjoy :)
