Label Text:Bonnie Cashin’s designs for Coach featured coin purse pockets on the exterior rather than on the inside of the bag. Cashin was known for playing with proportions and materials, and her work centered on practicality. Her unusual and recognizable designs defined Coach handbags for many years. Since 2019, they have been revived by the brand as part of its “Coach Originals” collection.
