A bag can hold a lot more than just your belongings – for some, it holds memories.
That’s the case for Chicago-based influencer Helena “Yoonie” Kim, who carefully restores vintage Coach bags in social media videos that rack up millions of views.
The passion for finding and restoring vintage Coach bags goes well beyond Kim.
It’s an Internet-wide trend. There are dozens of Facebook groups and hundreds of Depop shops bringing together hobbyists who curate their own vintage Coach collections.
