Coach vintage leather shoulder bag, black

A black leather Coach shoulder bag from the 1980s or 90s, the plain glovetanned styles that resell steadily. Older made-in-USA bags with the metalCoach tag bring the most; heavy scuffing, ink marks or a missing strap cut the price sharply.

Estimated resale range (used)

$35 – $85

A ballpark, not a quote. Condition moves this number a lot, and so does who turns up to buy it. It isn't an appraisal and it isn't a dealer's offer.

What matters when you check it

  • Look for the leather creed patch inside with the serial number and the Coach name, and note whether it says made in USA
  • Check the corners, edges and strap for scuffing, cracking or a worn-through spot
  • Open the bag and look for ink stains, perfume smell or a torn lining, which are hard to fix

Where the number comes from

Watching what these go for, not a record of sales. The range is a judgement call from what the same thing fetches secondhand. When an item has real sources behind it, they'll be printed here with the date they were checked.

Before you sell anything, look at sold prices rather than asking prices. Asking prices are wishes; sold prices are evidence.
