Bonnie Cashin for Sills vs Bonnie Cashin for Coach

Bonnie first introduced this handbag design with Sills, then took it to Coach. For a brief time, both brands were producing these Cashin-Carry sling bags concurrently. The two ads featured here are both from 1963.

Good morning! ☀️

Making the most of this pretty light coming through to show off my pine babe! 🤩 She's a Double Entry Swinger from the early 1970s, designed by Bonnie Cashin. This bag has a black cotton lining with the Coach cartouche stamped on the side panel.

Hot pink little lady from 1968 😮‍💨

This bag is so special! She still bears her original tags, including a golden medallion dedicated to Bonnie Cashin’s 1968 award for American Handbag Designer from Leather Industries of America. The vintage ad is also from 1968 ✨

I like newer Coach, too! Especially when vintage inspired 😜 This re-edition Safari Bag is too cute! 🖤

Having a hard time navigating socials right now… missing Instagram and feeling conflicted about all of it atm. I keep asking myself if I’m overreacting, but I don’t think I am? It’s just lonely over here 😔

Here’s my pretty Courier in burgundy, though… to lighten the mood 😅

Today’s spotlight is on the Small Double Header, designed by Bonnie Cashin for Coach, c.1966-1970

Moving into the 70s, the chain was dropped in favor of thin leather shoulder straps (as seen in the background), with that version being called the Double Entry Swinger

They have so many great options, don’t they?! I’m a big fan of the mini crossbody! 😍 This is an old pic… I’ve since swapped out reef for lagoon. I love pebbles 🥰

Good morning! ☀️

Today I’d like to share one of my favorite #vintagecoach bags to wear— Helen’s Legacy in nubuc!

Style 4952 from 1997 in the color Spruce 🌲 (catalog image from Fall 1997)

This is the softest, most cuddly bag I’ve ever owned 🥰

Hi, I’m Rachel! I’m a vintage Coach collector and researcher— my handle is vintagecoachie on other platforms 😉

I mostly collect bags from the 60s-70s (many designed by Bonnie Cashin), and early men’s leather goods. I also collect and share vintage newspaper clippings— link in bio 📰 🥰
