The Coach Lightweights Collection 4050 Vintage Leather Bag

The Coach 4050 is a vintage shoulder bag from Coach's Lightweight Collection, introduced in the late 1980s (primarily 1987-1990). It is no longer in production and is highly sought after by collectors and vintage enthusiasts for its timeless design, soft leather construction, and practical features. Made exclusively in the USA during this era, it embodies Coach's early reputation for durable, high-quality craftsmanship using thick, glove-tanned leather. The bag is often described as a "drawstring soft flap" style, combining slouchy elegance with functionality. It was part of Coach's push into lighter-weight designs while maintaining their signature rich leathers. • Style: Flap closure with a drawstring pouch under the front flap, creating a soft, pouch-like appearance. This allows for secure yet flexible storage. • Material: Soft, smooth, full-grain leather (often described as "buttery" or "glove-tanned") in various colors including saddle brown, bone (off-white), red, navy, taupe, buckskin, and British tan. Brass hardware throughout. • Compartments: • Roomy main interior compartment. • Front drawstring pocket under the flap. • Interior slip pocket (some models include a full zip pocket). • Strap: Adjustable leather shoulder strap with solid brass hardware; typical drop of 18-20 inches Approximately 11”X 8” X 3 1/4” Vintage great pre-loved condition💕 Only one or 2 small “beauty marks” (please see pics/video).
