Story
Launched in May 2011, this 'Berry' Soho satchel captures the era's shift toward bold, saturated colors. Its convertible design allowed it to transition from a structured satchel to a slouchy tote, mirroring the busy lives of modern women.
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1941 as a family-run workshop in a Manhattan loft, Coach revolutionized American luxury by using leather inspired by the soft, durable feel of baseball gloves. By the 2010s, they had become a global powerhouse known for balancing heritage quality with accessible, trendy designs.
Condition & Value
The exterior leather shows good color retention with minor creasing consistent with use. However, the interior lining has prominent pink/red ink stains which reduce the value by approximately 30-40% compared to a clean interior. Value is driven by the desirable 'Berry' colorway and the enduring popularity of the Soho silhouette.
