5 Best VINTAGE COACH Collections + Why This Video was So Difficult to Make || Autumn Beckman

[@anastasiaromanov3737]

Coach should consider establishing a gallery to exhibit the bags from all these years. They should hire you as consultant.😂

[@galegibbs5946]

Great idea! You should contact them.

[@nufoxiemommy]

I think they do in NYC

[@nancygraham8940]

COACH needs to publish a catalog that includes all bags. Number, date, name and where made. It is a challenge to find this information.also, include a picture!!

[@pamelaloss2671]

Hi Autumn…yes I would also LOVE a video on your coach bags. The leather is always amazing especially the 1941 styles.

[@lalablotz7348]

I love vintage Coach. I still have several of my original bags from the 80’s-90’s

[@lorincox]

Autumn, I started collecting Coach when I was 40… I’m now 60 and I’m happy to say that I still have my Soho and 65th Anniversary Legacy pieces. You have reinvigorated my enthusiasm to wear them (even though I have moved on to LV and Chanel) I own some early vintage Coach as well. Thanks for the history lesson! ⭐️😄

[@kathydobson2720]

I love it when you do a video that is documentary-style. A ton of super interesting facts and information combined with great storytelling, thanks so much for this. I love Coach and have a pretty large collection from a variety of eras.

[@bf9351]

YES!!!! Please do a vintage coach collection video!!!! Would love to see your collection! 😀 I had a bag from the "Bleecker" collection. I'v had sellers regret many times for parting with that bag.

[@sharonsmith583]

I would love a video about all your coach bags! I have a 35 year old vintage coach bag that i have had for 35 years! AND it still looks fabulous!

[@loris401]

Love the vintage Coach!! That's how I first got interested in Coach. The styles are classic and sophisticated yet simple. Thanks for sharing.

[@pattywilliams788]

Autumn’s Master Class on the History of Coach Vintage collections. I had no idea since I’m so new to Coach that I don’t have a single piece yet. I may have to watch this video again. Awesome info!

[@israeli_flava]

I'm not a Coach collector but I loved (and watched) your (ENTIRE) video Autumn! Keep going... your energy for bags is amazing! xo

[@ccme4955]

I have one or two bags from each of the collections you mentioned minus the Bonnie Cashin ~ my fave might be my Bleecker Tattersall in the most beautiful whiskey color 😍

[@rosieschweebie]

Yes!! Please do a Vintage Coach collection.😊😊

[@katehill7675]

Fabulous video Autumn! Thanks for you dedication and hard work! I watch ALL your videos but have never commented before. Of course, I always give you a thumbs up. Again. Thank you.

[@pamelaloss2671]

I’m so happy that you are doing these videos…your topics are interesting and it shows you do a lot of research, so thank you. Your love for doing these videos shows. So happy you’re doing these videos.❤😊

[@AKBBags]

Hi Autumn! You had me at Coach! Some people are such sticklers about that 20 years old being vintage only. I had a comment one time in my video because mine was 18 years old. 🤣

[@christinedonnelly2830]

Hi my favourite is the vintage Willis. Lovely bag.

[@happyhourhaulers6126]

This may be one of my favorite videos of yours of all time, and that’s really saying something because I LOVE your channel and have watched you for years now. This was so well done, so thoughtfully presented, concise yet thorough, and a great resource for so many of us who adore vintage Coach. And all of the collections are my favorite by Coach, so it explains why I’m so drawn to them, and adds so much clarity to those lines. Thank you for your tireless research and bringing so much insight! Would love more videos on these collections and vintage Coach. I’ve shared this video with so many of my friends and family too. ❤

[@tmougo]

I have three duffel bags, a dinky, a limited run of a crescent bag that is yellow and other earlier bags. I hated everything after that. Loved this video!

[@beccariddle]

I was RIVETED with this video!!! Thank you for your hard work. What a gift you gave us Coach lovers. I have about 10 different Vintage Coach bags and you taught me a lot about my own collection. I might email you a few photos of my bags to see if they would be good examples for you to use if you are doing more in depth videos and want an in person example. We are basically neighbors now so I could drop them off for you.

[@nancygraham8940]

YES……vintage showing 😊

[@mhay6220]

Fantastic video and love your taking the time you sift through all the data out there. Would love to see Coach invite you to their HQ location for a tour as this video will certainly increase awareness and interest to the brand’s vintage pieces.

[@virginiamanganiello-mh4di]

Yes do a vintage coach collection video. I have one I can’t find anywhere! I’d love your help!

[@derbywinner6316]

Yes, please vintage coach collection. Thank you

[@MrsJC808]

I love, love, love vintage Coach bags. I have a 2001 City in British Tan as well, sadly missing the hangtag, that I got for super cheap and after some leather conditioner, she looks charming.

[@maliamock7642]

Having JUST bought a beautiful little coin purse of Italian leather…I cannot imagine the absolute yumminess of those authentic Italian made models. LOVE the Mia (sp?) and the large bags with oversized turnlock pieces that may or may not be legacy/‘65! Beautiful!

[@NellBelle]

Willas, Court, and Devon are my favorite vintage bags. But, but, but there is also the Madison Collection made in Italy that is an amazing collection.

[@mizmelbourne]

I have one from the Madison range! The Madison bags are a really beautiful range

[@cinnamonfreckles]

I have the Devon so soft. I just purchased the Court and love her as well.

[@phyllisogilvie5800]

Great review! I have been a Coach fan for over 50 years!

[@ruthio11]

I have a vintage Coach Companion bag. I love it so much, I want all the colors!

[@vickenator]

Ahhhhhh this is one of my favorite videos you've ever done! I love vintage Coach and saw so many favorites in these collections, and I own more than a few of those pieces as well but didn't know their history. Thanks so much for all the rich detail. I picked up an Ergo Hobo from a Goodwill a couple years ago for $25 with the legacy stripe lining inside, then found another one on Poshmark for super cheap and snagged that as well. Most of my pieces were thrifted over the years, then authenticated via the great resources at The Purse Forum. The Bleecker line is so luxe but I've heard they're pretty heavy with all that fabulous hardware. I didn't really like the reissued Willis but I understand where they were coming from; the leather looks thinner than the OG Willis and looks like it would scratch easily. So much of the Coach logo'd items really turned me off from the brand for awhile until I discovered the vintage market! Thanks again and I say bring on all the Coach lines!!!

[@beyondtherabbithole]

I have several pieces from about 15 years ago would love to hear more about Coach

[@miriamrivera1911]

Enjoyed the looking at all the beautiful bags.. Thanks

[@irenemitalas2692]

Adore classic vintage COACH. It was the ultimate in craftsmanship and luxury without obscene pricing. On another note I love your sweater! Gorgeous color and style. Do you mind sharing who it is made by?

[@CalebSnell]

This was so much fun! My favorite era of Coach is that 2001-2012 era. And I love my Bleecker pieces! 💚

[@GraceChen838]

Thank you for sharing the brand history of Coach. It is so interesting to learn as Coach is gaining an upward trend in popularity.

[@louisfleurdelis8941]

My first coach bag was also the black soho but they said 2006 but my soho creed it’s from 2004 and I purchased in 2005 . I’m so glad you mentioned I still have the bag and I started using the bag I even have the original brown bag.

[@irene-bf5zf]

Hi Autumn. I recently started watching your channel and really enjoy it. I bought a coach handbag when I first started working in an office 30 years ago and felt like 1 million bucks with this bag. I went to your link for the PDFs for the catalogs and found that it was the coach swagger bag number 9820. It was $188 which was a fortune to me back then. Once I started watching Your channel, I considered buying another bag. I went to the store on Columbus Circle in New York City and I found it had closed. Apparently it closed about two months ago. Thank you for your terrific videos.

[@Emma-qh1ch]

I have a collection of original Soho bags. Never wanted to get rid of them. Just loves the designs too much. I also have a pair of matching mules.

[@accessorygirlnyc]

My first Coach bag was in British Tan from 1989. British Tan was the best color!

[@JoleeSO]

It’s true! It’s a real battle to find real information! Glad that you’re doing it and please share any information on vintage coach that you can find. I’d be interested in a whole series on vintage coach alone. ❤

[@ResellinMaryellen]

Excellent video!!! i love and have been rehabbing Vintage Coach bags for about 4 years now. This video was well researched !! Thank you! ❤

[@meredithkaliszbaldwin1505]

I am loving all the coach content! I busted out 2 of my coach bags I purchased when I graduated college in the early 2000s. I think 1 of them is the soho flap bag you had in black. Mine is in cream with a tan trim with silver hardware! I think mine is from 2004 cuz I found the little insert that was still in the pocket. The one that has history of coach and how to care for the bag. It has 2004 on it. So excited to learn more about the bags I have. Thank you!

[@theuniverseconnection]

Awesome videos, Autumn. Would you please make a video on Ralph Lauren’s handbags? I haven't seen many videos for that brand.

[@Flowcasso]

The jewel tone and/or lined collection was SO beautiful. I remember seeing it like *cough* 18-20 years ago when I worked for a resell shop. I seem to recall a jewel tone patchwork bag from this time. That was probably my personal favorite.

[@Flowcasso]

I was thinking of the 65th anniversary pieces! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. That was one of my favorite jobs. ❤

[@cynthiak9069]

Wow I love this. Deep dive of all the coach. Yes please

[@cynthiak9069]

Very very well done. Keep up the amazing work. It is my happy place here

[@cherylclough4309]

I should have been taking notes! Great video. Yes, to the Coach collection. Wondering if you could talk about how to restore vintage Coach bags. I have a couple that could use some loving care.

[@KimFiscus816]

I loved this video!! My very first ever expensive bag was the Bleecker in British tan. That bag started my love of bags. I sold it years ago but just bought another one last week! How relevant! And in my search for the Bleecker I went down the 65th Anniversary hole and also bought a whiskey Ali (for $60!!!!). Coach is iconic and I enjoyed hearing the history you researched. My love of bags goes much further than the bag itself. The fashion houses and their heritage is fascinating to me.

[@lorid.752]

Thank you for doing this video, Autumn! This was a walk down memory lane for me. I started my handbag"obsession" with Coach. I still have a couple of these bags. I have since moved on to LV, Gucci, Chanel, Givenchy, Prada, etc., but will also have a Love for Coach! As always, I find your videos very informative and I truly appreciate your tenacity when it comes to research!

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Great information and I would certainly like to see more details in further videos. I have a similar problem with the Australian brand Oroton (Established 1938). They reuse their names and the confusion can be remarkable! Thank you for the video!

[@jayboi7063]

I love learning coach history

[@tibitaylor]

I have a collection of original Coach catalogs from the 1980s - 1990s that were sent to me at the time, as well as my original Coach bags.

[@cherylclough4309]

I have recently become very interested in vintage Coach. I really enjoyed this video-I am still drooling over that stewardess bag you showed-and learned a lot. I’d love to know more…and more. Yes, please, make more podcasts on specific bags, styles and collections.

[@BeachieDogMom]

Loved the video autumn! So Interesting to hear the history of the brand! I’d love any video on the history of any of the luxury brands ❤❤

[@CogMarks]

Please do more videos on some of the Coach collections. I really enjoyed this video. 👏🏻

[@AKBBags]

I have a soho bag, but really wanting the 65th legacy edition bag! I’m on the hunt! Tfs 😊

[@dawnlovescouture2644]

Great video, Autumn! Having acquired some pre-2000’s vintage bags recently, I would love to learn more about those bags. I especially want to learn how to tell where your bag was made by the code, because some bags do not state it on the creed.

[@veronicasalazar-garcia5299]

Loved this episode! I adore the Bleecker collection bags but there is not much information about them. I do have a list with photos and bag names. The green Bleecker bag you showed is the Large Flap bag. I have a Bleecker Small flap bag which is much harder to find. I would love to see another video on the Bleecker collection

[@cpebble3874]

This is inspiring me to catalogue my Coach bags. I have about 10-12 and would like to track down their style names and when they were made. I usually go for the turnlock style. Yes, please do a Caoch collection video. I find videos about vintage coach more interesting than unboxing videos of the newest coach styles. I'm not really a fan of the big C logo they are doing right now. Thanks for such an interesting video! If you end up doing more Coach history videos, could you include more pictures for eye candy? Or maybe have the photos stay on screen for longer?

[@maddyjames5244]

Amazing work Autumn! I’d love to see a video on each collection. Seems like there’s so much to learn

[@terrifromm5085]

I have that Crescent bag you showed. My Coach Outlet store got it from the boutique store and they actually called me and let me know that it was in the store so I ran down to get it. I have it to this day and as a matter of fact, I’m going to be pulling it out and I’m going to wear it. Great video!!

[@cathleenlawrence7472]

Great video! Another older line I’ve discovered is the Tribeca-beautiful thick leather.

[@nnm3935]

Thank you for such a great, informative video Autumn! I absolutely adore vintage Coach, and I’ve been collecting for years☺️

[@seekoolawithnadinewright3108]

Please do a video on all of the Coach collections!! Thank you!

[@robynmassey3327]

Perfect timing on this video!👏 Thanks to you, Eva and Dawn, I bought a City Willis in black just last night. I was so confused as to why the lining on Eva and Dawn’s is leather and mine is the striped satin. I was worried it was an outlet bag….clearly I’m not well versed YET! You answered the question I spent hours researching last night to no avail. Can’t thank you for your diligent research enough! Would love more Coach education!☺️

[@miradonfbd]

What a fabulous video! And yes, a video on each collection, please.

[@cherylclough4309]

I’m loving the Stewardess bag and am looking for one that is in good shape. I think my tastes tend to the earlier collections. The Soho seems rather heavy to me. But my tastes shift, so who knows. Any info you provide will be immensely appreciated. Thanks for all your work and time. And I think I forgot to mention in my first comment that, yes, I would love handbag collection sheets specifically for Coach. Thanks again.

[@cindyschroyer326]

I have a few vintage Coach bags that I've bought second hand and cleaned up. I don't know witch collection they are from. My favorite are the Scooter bag and the Willis bag. I'd love to learn more about the vintage Coach bags and the different collections.

[@meminionru]

it is really detailed video. Thank you for your hard work. I did had soho bag, Bleecker collection still looks good.

[@susanm9824]

My first Coach bag was a Soho flap, but I believe it’s rectangular. I bought it pre owned around 10 years ago. Now, I’m going to take it out and research it, for sure!

[@melissagodwin1594]

Hi, Autumn! Let me just put it simply by saying I would love ANY AND ALL Coach videos you have any desire to do. Including, but of course not at all limited to, the history of the brand.

[@anamartinez7489]

I just got the Mandy bag bc of the multi pocket trend going on and its so well made.

[@VivienneKarlene]

This video was AMAZING Autumn!! And for the record….I was also shocked at the spelling of Bleecker street. We might have to turn in our NYC affiliation cards for that one.😂

[@Namastequilter]

I love your series. I have 2 vintage Coach bag’s. One is from the Dinky collection, If I’m saying it correctly. It was my very first handbag I ever purchased and started me on my love of handbags and collecting. The second is a mini bag. I’d like to send you a picture of that. One of my very favorite hand bags ever.

[@AutumnBeckman]

You can email a photo to me if you'd like. [e-mail]

[@eazy19870]

stewardess Patricia Taft and 65th anniversary luci are my go to favorites

[@brettsarahavari]

Yes to the vintage coach collection please. I have some Fendi, Louis Vuitton and a couple Gucci's but I have to say right now I'm more interested in Coach. I think they are more durable and they're easier to take care of. I'm talking about the vintage. I can find a really great Coach for much less than vintage Louis Vuitton and I don't have to worry about cracks on canvas or the vachetta. The cost of replacing the cheddar yes ridiculous I would rather sell a bag and buy one in better shape a Louis vuitton that is then try to get everything repaired the cost is ridiculous.

[@jamesjamm]

This was so good and so interesting. :-) You are so good and we are so lucky to reap the results of your intense research!! 💕💕

[@Bella-yb6gg]

Check out the old Madison collection made in Italy, the Dekotas, Sheridan collection and I believe three more. Those are vintage Coach true lux collections

[@carolinavasquez6549]

Thank you for this video. Love your channel.

[@sandyokey1019]

Fascinating video, Autumn, thank you!

[@karenhutchens7557]

would love to learn more about vintage coach.

[@dottie1970]

I would lover see your vintage couch collection.

[@mrgrape2166]

I bought 2 soho bags in 2002 or 2003. 1was a Black leather and 1 was the fabric brownish CC. I'm bad at knowing the collection names. I do remember paying over $200.00 each in Chicago. I've always liked Coach. Thanks for the info and video.

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

Beautiful vintage bags 😊💚

[@albenac4182]

Love vintage Coach 🥰 would love to see yours 👍

[@lauraC1082]

I love my vintage Coach bags! Great information and video

[@mamashiraz]

I have an original Willis bag: it’s mint condition and a cherished piece. I have a smooth leather Soho with matching wallet also in mint condition. I prefer Coach’s pebbled leather bags over canvas because they wear well but I have some canvas as well: Bennet, a large Rowan and a pouchette and various wristlets. My daughter says I have a problem. I’ve literally thrifted most of my collection! I don’t see the problem! 🙂

[@AutumnBeckman]

What problem? I don't see any problem!

[@aaronsalcido90]

Here's my current vintage Coach inventory: 1 early 70's Black Knapsac 9030; 1 late 70's Black Dinky 9375 with the 2 brass eyelets for hooks; 2 early 80's a Red Dinky and a 5060 Attaché in British Tan; 1 late 80's lightweights collection 4020 Drawstring small sac in Saddle; 2 1990 a lightweight collection swinger 4040 and a Spectator white and tabac city bag 9790; 2 from 1994 a 4130 MacDougal zip in Mahogany and a 4133 waverly bag (tote) from both from the soho collection in Coral; 2 1995 a station bag 5130 in Mahogany and a 9085 duffle sac in Taupe (very rare color for a duffle sac); 1 1997 Black city 9790; 3 from 1998 2 black legacy small flap 9965 one in brass hardware and one in nickel hardware and a Black Bleecker small basket 9301; 1 2001 Red City 9790; I have 14 bags in total and surprisingly most are made in the U.S.A. (except for the 1997 Black city bag and it's made in Turkey) and 4 are made in NYC; I like the 1960's through the 1990's collections...

[@Mirella_MtOlympia]

Love your Coach Cashin bag and love this video overall! Yes, I'd like to see a vintage Coach collection video! This is a great summary of some of Coach's history and an education to those who don't understand the brand--thinking it's not luxurious! And you're right about previous collection prices. Not all of Coach's bags are below $500. They've always had many bags that were close to a $1000 and many way more than that. Most earlier Coach retail bags are priced from $600 to $1600, and few even higher than that. I think currently they have a small alligator Idol bag for $7000. They've always had very expensive bags. That's been always the case for decades--that they have something for everyone! Also, Coach is the cutest thing! I love `em! 🥰

[@mwedzi]

Such an interesting video! I agree that the prices for Coach are not out of line with where Coach's prices have been over the decades. I've seen catalogs from the 90s with bags $200-$300 is $580 now, which is a common price for many Coach retail bags now. Anyway, I was in fact looking at Coach exotics the last few months, just out of curiosity. They currently have Rogue 20 in alligator for $5k and Rogue 25 in alligator for $8k. They had a crocodile card case for $400 a few months back that I almost got just out of curiosity. They had a Rogue 20 in Python for about $1200, so I was surprised to see their Idol bag in python at over $2k. Anyway, very interesting video.

[@Restless318]

thank you info aways learn more about coach as a coach collector

[@GEOMETRICINK]

A few years ago I started selling a lot of my vintage coach collection and man do I regret it! I just needed the space in my closet so badly. I sure do miss those bags. I had many of the ones shown here. I also gifted a lot to my mom and sister who beat the crap out of them 😢

[@madmonkey545]

I’m obsessed with the 65th anniversary. I love the smaller mandy’s and Ali type bags. I have the black og vachetta Ali… I have another Ali that’s white but they are not the striped legacy and I guess technically not the 65th anniversary. It is is the factory version so the blue/pink/black lining. It is confusing. HAHA. Loved this video I relate. I also have two bleekers, and one I got really cheap because it didn’t have a strap.

[@cynthiawang8168]

Did you encounter the website titled the coach screed? It has so much information and I’m slowly making my way through the article - it’s long rabbit hole!

[@peggyfitzmaurice4100]

Love all the history

[@maryluckett2970]

Would love to see a video on vintage Coach bags made in Italy.

[@RPBSpeaks]

The 2nd collection (70s-90s) is my fav because it's so timeless and understated. The leathers are amazing, the bags are almost indestructible and they are beautiful in their simplicity. The other collections are very nice, but the buckles and styles are easily dated and don't fit all occasions.

[@babycakes8434]

Yes I am not a fan of most the fabric C signature fabric ones, but I love their leather bags. I wear simple tote now, for the last 2 years everyday, it looks like new. And I bought it second hand already for cheap. This brand is great❤🎉

[@nufoxiemommy]

I have a vintage Coach of all stages.

[@fuchsiafloyd]

Yes to the vintage Coach collection video!

[@pamelaloss2671]

Thanks!

[@persus5727]

Great video, Autumn! 💯 A couple of years ago, I bought a 65th anniversary Mandy bag in whiskey. I've never carried it because it weighs a TON! 😅 Must weigh at least 6-7 lbs, I kid you not! It's a beautiful bag, though. 😂 I would love it if you would do a video on the iconic duffle bag. 😍
