Vintage Black COACH SLIM SATCHEL COMPACT CLUTCH purse 9425 well loved well worn!  

Beautiful * Classic * Quality Coach! Odor free! From a Smoke -Free Home. Please see below for more about this bag.

DESCRIPTION 
A glorious vintage bag that's been lovingly and well worn through the years. It does show some cracking wear along the piping, however the leather itself has a lot of life left! Wear and environment age a classic leather bag over time into a personality of its own.. Much like a fine wine. Drink this bag in slowly, it's black leather is buttery soft to the touch, yet it's life will linger boldly and indefinitely!

The Leather Outer Condition: Extensive Wear. The bag has been extensively used, making its leather wonderful. It does have a lot of wear along the piping, includes rub wear and breaks in the leather at various places. As with all Coach leather there are Natural variations in the leather, normal scuffing and scarring throughout the bag. There is general overall scuffing which contributes to the soft leather condition and the leather's patina. We believe that the blending of the scuffs and scars and marks, over time, give vintage leather bags their personalities!

~ one of the original Coach Bags! Coach started to number their bags in about the late 1970s. The first serial numbers were all numbers and each was original. The earliest bags were stamped with three numbers, followed by four. the even earlier bags had no serial numbers at all - and earlier yet, just the word Coach stamped into the leather where we see the Creed stamped now.
