In the 1960s, Cahn did further research on leather and discovered a very complex method for processing leather to make it strong, soft, and durable.
At the suggestion of his wife, a number of women's handbags were designed to be more affordable.[5]
In the early 1960s, handbags were added to the Coach lineup. Coach women's handbags were made out of sturdy cowhide, which was of much better quality than the thin leather pasted over cardboard material that was used to make other handbags at the time. |
