COACH VINTAGE ESSEX 5274 BRIEFCASE Black

If you are looking for a case that can make a statement that you have been doing your job a long time this is it! This says you have been doing your job long enough to break in a sturdy leather case and that you appreciate quality. Briefcase? Document case? Laptop case? Messenger bag? It does not matter what you call it it is a working tool that just says you have already arrived. Soft glove tanned leather, top handle, 2 section compartments, zipped inside pocket. What I like about this style is that your business cards and pens are right there, easy to grab so you don't have to go fishing in an inside compartment. Long shoulder strap that is adjustable, 2 classic Coach Turn lock closure, black leather hang tag. Measurements are approx. 5 inches wide, 12 inches high top to bottom and then left to right is 16 inches. The Story Patch gives the style as 5274. It has J7C and the case number. I believe that this was made in October 1997. The place of manufacture would be "C". I don't believe Coach has public list of what letter describes what place of origin. Please look carefully at the pictures. The bottom corners show age but not tears. Sides where buckle is sewn on shows stretching from use as side stitching is loose on both sides. This is a 26 year old vintage bag that proves it can do the job.Smoke free, odor free, pet free. Thank you for looking!
