Soho Demi Appraisal

Vintage Coach Soho Demi Bag in Hot Pink Leather

This item is a vintage Coach Soho Demi shoulder bag, presented in a vibrant hot pink leather. The bag features a compact, rectangular silhouette with rounded corners, indicative of early 2000s fashion trends. Its physical characteristics include a single, adjustable flat leather strap, designed for over-the-shoulder or hand carrying. The main closure system involves a front flap that secures with a prominent, silver-toned buckle. This buckle is a decorative element as well as functional, featuring two visible eyelets and a single prong, suggesting a strap-and-buckle closure mechanism rather than a magnetic snap hidden beneath, although this is not explicitly clear. The hardware appears to be brushed or matte silver-tone, with no obvious signs of significant tarnish or wear. A signature Coach leather hangtag in matching hot pink is visibly attached to the side strap hardware. The leather itself appears soft and supple, with some natural creasing and slight indentations, particularly on the main body of the bag below the flap, which is consistent with gentle use and the material's characteristics. There are no obvious rips, tears, or significant scuffs visible in the provided image; the overall condition appears good for its age. The stitching throughout the bag appears uniform and intact, indicating quality craftsmanship. This style of bag, with its clean lines, minimalist branding (beyond the hangtag), and simple hardware, points to Coach's aesthetic from the late 1990s to early 2000s, suggesting an estimated age from that period. The bright color makes it a distinctive and unique find, reflecting a playful yet sophisticated style.
