@@MyfavoritesWithMaggie agreed. The only new Coach bag I have is the canvas City Tote & pouch. When I touch the leather I just can’t buy it, even if I like the style. So I stick with vintage 💖
Vintage Coach is amazing quality. I’ve always heard it was compared to Hermes and I thought there was no way. I found a few bags, refurbished them and yes. They are very much so Hermes level quality.
Absolutely agree! But as much as so many influencers toute the praise of the current Coach collections (I love the design), the quality of the leather is just not the same as the vintage ones. They feel more plasticky and less luxurious to me. Thanks for watching sharing your thoughts! AGREE!! ❤
I loved the vintage Coach bag's leather -- the quality of Coach leather was unreal! I love the new styles, but I think the leather is not of same quality..... like most things.... 😞 Thanks for watching and commenting - Coach does make some beautiful pieces! ❤️
Had to pop back and let you know your video helped me achieve "purse peace." I couldn't find your sister's vintage Coach, which I used to have. But I found an EUC Coach water buffalo French wallet on Etsy. It's perfect! Thx again and stay well.
I also have a coach wallet that is around 30 years old and I still use because it’s still in a beautiful condition. It’s a lot better in terms of both leather and craftsmanship compared to today’s LV and Chanel wallets. Think I had paid less than $100.
I had that exact wallet 30 years ago, too! The Coach is made of water buffalo, which they only make for men now. It has a distinctive "squeak" when new. So look in Men's! Wish I still had mine!
Sandy, I'm so sorry for not responding to you comment earlier, but I just saw it! I had no idea that this Coach wallet is made of water buffalo! AMAZING! It is in AMAZING condition is, in my opinion, much better made than Hermes. My sister will keep this forever!
Hey, just a heads-up: not my listing and not sure I'm permitted to promote an ebay item, but there is a beauty in cognac listed. Coach Water Buffalo flap checkbook wallet, looks EUC. That color burnishes beautifully, too.
Sandy Henry sandy, you are so sweet to think of me! But, I’ve reached, I think, the perfect Slg collection - the coach wallet is beautiful though.... i think I finally figured out the perfect Slg uses and how to use them for my needs. :-). Thanks again for your thoughtfulness! ❤️❤️☺️😘
I definitely know that I’m very guilty of that. Just imagine if you didn’t know anything about fashion house name value or brand history, be honest, are they really thousands of dollars better than high street brands? I can tell you that my Michael Kors wallet which I used for years still looked brand almost new when I sold it. I definitely am shallow since I’m so influenced by luxury brand name and am willing to pay so much for it. My mother in law has no name purses that she’s had for almost a decade and they still look great. She has no idea what brand names are and doesn’t care at all by all the hoopla surrounding fashion houses. When I think of her, i think that she’s truly ‘zen’ - she’s like that with everything she buys. But... alas, the expensive things makes me happy! Lol! ❤️❤️
I totally agree with you! The new Coach leather is, to me, nothing like the vintage quality. It's getting harder and harder to find great condition vintage Coach bags --- some of them are not in great condition. I sold mine because it had stains which I couldn't get out -- also they were really, really heavy -- probably because they use thick, fantastic quality leather. Thanks sweetie for your comment! ❤️❤️
They certainly are! I had some of their purses too and I absolutely loved them, but I sold them because they were so heavy- mainly, I think, because of the great leather quality! What an idiot I was for selling all of them! Thanks for watching and for your comment! ☺️
Hermes is stitched by hand, Coach is not. Hermes is Palladium hardware, rare, Coach is a simple leather loop. Yea, 3K is a lot for a used, handmade leather wallet with Palladium hard, that’s a luxury. 👍🏽
Sandy Santigo you make a very good point about the hardware and process of making the wallet! Maybe in 10 years, we’ll be saying that 3000 was cheap and we should have bought it! Lol!
Wrong. I Know this is a old post but its wrong info. Vintage Coach was hand stitched and made by hand. Hardware is not palladium but is solid brass or nickel. Coach didn't have glazing either and the quality is just as good if not better from Hermes. Vintage Coach products are truly luxurious and not just wasting money for great quality.
Thanks for sharing. Awesome comparison. Vintage coach is full grain leather which will have this beautiful shine when being loved and used.
It is made beautifully and has lasted decades! 👍
Vintage Coach leather is second to none 🤩💖
I totally agree! The new Coach leather is, to me, not as special. Thanks for watching! ❤️

Does anyone happen to know the name of the vintage Coach wallet? It’s just beautiful!
My sister and I don’t remember the name, but I agree, it’s amazing. ❤️
Coach makes great leather products have been buying coach since 1995.

Look at that shine
ItsOnlyWarPaint It’s amazing!

Wow! Congratulations! Now, if I could achieve purse peace.... Hahahaha! It’s an elusive thing.... 👍👍👍😆😘❤️❤️
That vintage Coach is beautiful and well designed and finely made. It may not be hand stitched but the quality is absolutely amazing.
I also have a coach wallet that is around 30 years old and I still use because it’s still in a beautiful condition. It’s a lot better in terms of both leather and craftsmanship compared to today’s LV and Chanel wallets. Think I had paid less than $100.
Totally agree! Vintage Coach is the best quality! ❤️❤️
I’ve seen where the Hermes metal leather tab holder splits the leather in half.😄 great review!!
Valerie Valencia thanks so much! ❤️❤️

Good comparison on two very similar products! You can definitely find excellent quality in lower price points. The Coach has held up so well.
Jayme Jay it’s amazing how well the Coach wallet has held up! I’m not sure that their quality is the same now.... thanks for watching Jayme!
It makes you wonder if we sometimes are just buying for the brand name. 🤷♀️ I’m pretty sure I’m guilty of that. 😝 Thanks for sharing!

Vintage Coach leathers are superb. You cannot beat the quality. Love Coach items. I still buy vintage and new item today.

Very nice comparison. Vintage Coach is such good quality.
They certainly are! I had some of their purses too and I absolutely loved them, but I sold them because they were so heavy- mainly, I think, because of the great leather quality! What an idiot I was for selling all of them! Thanks for watching and for your comment! ☺️
Coach used a machine while Hermès also do fold over and stitch they never glaze anything but I am shock to here Hermes glaze there wallet omg
christmas9lights ❤️👍. Thanks for watching and commenting. I was shocked too!
Vintage Coach was hand stitched as well.
Hermes is stitched by hand, Coach is not. Hermes is Palladium hardware, rare, Coach is a simple leather loop. Yea, 3K is a lot for a used, handmade leather wallet with Palladium hard, that’s a luxury. 👍🏽
