Vintage Coach Chelsea Tote 6006 Leather Large Travel Bag Purse Shoulder

This is a very rare and elegant vintage Coach "Chelsea Tote" with the creed number J8C-6006. The style number is #6006. The color is black. It was produced in one of the the original Coach USA factories in Oct 1998. The bag measures 14” wide at the bottom x 10.5” tall x 6.5” thick, and is a two-handled top-handle bag with a handle drop between 11" and 13", depending on how you adjust it. It can also be worn as a shoulder bag. There is a slip pocket on the front and back of the bag, and a zipper pocket inside. The inside contains 3 separate compartments (one of which is zippered). The hardware is brass. The hang tag is present. This is the large version of the "Chelsea Satchel". This large carry-all tote is in fabulous condition, and would make a very roomy travel tote, laptop tote, business tote, etc. It is vintage, so it has some faint scuffs here and there; they are quite mild. The lining fabric is in excellent condition. The full-grain leather is very thick, but feels silky, and the bag is surprisingly light weight, considering the thickness of the leather. It is absolutely clean, it smells good, and it's ready to carry. The silk scarf is not included - it is for illustration purposes only. I think the "Chelsea Tote" is the most elegant tote ever made by Coach. I think they only made this style for a short time, because in my years of Coach collecting, I have only seen a few of these available. Please look at all 10 photos, as they are part of this description.
