After her contract with Coach had come to an end in 1974, Bonnie Cashin took her handbag designs to Meyers Manufacturing Company. Per Dr. Stephanie Lake, Bonnie's heir and owner of the Bonnie Cashin Archive, Bonnie's time with Meyers spanned from 1975-1979. Catalogs for Meyers are not readily available, so the information here is primarily based on vintage ads that I have sourced.

Many of these bags do not have known "official" names, so in their descriptions I have listed the associated names with these styles pulled from vintage ads and original Cashin sketches. I've also included the years we see these styles in ads. Information may be incomplete due to lack of resources.
