Black Coach Soho Signature Purse

Soho- district in Manhattan noted for its old warehouses converted into restaurants, galleries and theaters.

Why would Coach name this line Soho? Candidly put, it's a classic design revitalized in a way that only Coach could mimic. These breathtaking and vintage hand bags and accessories are a superiors choice for metropolitan living.

The Soho is a classic because of its exceptional beauty and craftsmanship. It is the fine wine of Coach Purses. It is the mark of the past that fits the trends of today. What makes the Soho so special? Besides their Signature designs, this small purse is the trademark of a woman's daintiness, femininity, stamina, style and grace.

I have a black Signature Coach with the soft leather embellishments and silver buckles, Soho. I have high regards for this bag. This is the purse I use routinely because it works with anything in my wardrobe. It is useful for nearly any function, whether a trip to the shopping mall, work place or an evening out, you really cannot beat a Soho.

She is not a cultured classic because she is chintzy; she became a time honored tradition because she comes from an extraordinarily fine line of Coach. The Soho line is the perfect rose because its craft will forever outlast all other trademarks. Speaking of outlasting; my Soho gets thrown around beat up and even outlast my unimaginably devilish preschooler.

Now the Soho that I have has a flip top and is slightly more seasoned than the zip top style. Nonetheless the Soho with the zipper top, made with tweed especially in blue, brown or black is more interesting because it really expresses the retro styles of the late 70's and early 80's. I should also note that the tether on my Soho is small enough to be worn loosely in your hand without looking scatterbrained.


Look at the facts; 80's fashions were not all that splendid. Hot colors such as hot pink were only sensational because they coincided with the social trends to wonder from the standard way of life and journey into our inner strengths. The Baby Boom era accelerated world industries by accelerating goods. However Coach understands that trends of the past are destine to return, so they put an amazing spin on the past style making Soho's in tweed. Tweed was originally called twill because it was made of unfinished woolen fabric woven into a twill pattern instead of a dull one.

Previously tweed was practical because of its moisture resistance and reliability but soon was superseded because the production and expense could not keep up with the worlds growing demands and industry boom. So they converted to cheaper materials Lucky for us Coach knows that quality is better than quantity and tweed as well as their other Signature materials will always be a commodity. Have you ever noticed that tweed have outlived the years better than cheap materials. This is what sets the Coach apart from the rest.

Whatever your taste: small, large, medium, tweed, leather, fancy, vintage, classic, reliable, durable, dependable, Coach Soho has what you want. They may cost a little more but truthfully you get what you pay for. So it is a relief to know that it will last; not just as in it will not fall apart, but last as in; Coach products will always be in. Whatever the rage happens to be, you can sleep easy knowing that the Soho line and hobo design will dominate the competition.

The Soho reminds me of Breakfast at Tiffany's. Audrey Hepburn is the picture of vintage style. She is the fine wine of previous furors and prestigious not just by skill but by view and prestige, a face that will last forever. Like Coach Soho, it is the Crème de la Crème of early styles that became illustrious not just by flair but by the beauty and spunk they bring to any woman. So a Soho won't make you look like Audrey Hepburn but it will make you feel like one.

Good to know the history of the Coach bag, and its true they last forever, so its a good investment. My sis gave me her coach bag sometime last year and now I am hooked (she is a generous sis!). Would like to purchase large one, as it will then replace all the other bags that are cluttering my closet, and don't do a good job of holding what I usually carry around, especially when traveling.

Coach bags are very fashionable, many women who are fashion minded shop only for coach handbags. the black soho bags could go with any color outfit.

:))) I just can't help myself. I have to say it... Misha, have you thought of modeling a Soho bag for this hub? I bet it would turn up some traffic :) Remember the guy who modeled his ex-wife's wedding dress on eBay and got some crazy traffic and quiet a few buyers fighting for the dress? :)

It's a brilliant idea. If I happen to get a hold of one of the handbags, I'll definitely shoot a video of me modeling it :D

Ooh, I have the black mini-signature Soho purse.

Coach is a classic label and will never go out of style. Plus they are so well made, they last forever. I've had one of mine for about 7 years now and it still looks brand new!

Being a woman of modest means, I admit to only one materialistic vice--- GOTTA HAVE MY COACH--- I fell in love with coach when I was 22 and my mother bought me my first one when we were visiting NY. That was 18 years ago and it's still in my annual rotation and still looks good! I don't like the "Signature" styles, though. They remind me of Louis Vitton and look cheap to me. You know a Coach by the superior quality and craftmanship. It doesnt need a nametag. Thanks for the guilty pleasure!
