I LOVE the Willis bag was just looking at it today I had one years ago actually wore it out Black w/silver such a great bag ..... one may be in my future considering how much $$$ the newer bags are and this is such a classic I wonder if I get a PCE could you use it on the Classis bags. BTW which bag is larger Willis or Station?

The Willis is larger, but only by a couple of inches....I can remember years ago (within the last 4 or 5) they used to sell some of the classics in the factory stores. I haven't seen them in there in a long time though & the leather didn't feel as good as the '90s leather'!

I think if I get one I will order it from the Boutique I dont like our outlet and in the summer its impossible to get there with all the tourists going to Williamsburg Thanks AH the good old days that Willis is a great bag maybe I will go retro ....

I think I saw some Stewardess, Patricia and something else in the outlet either before Xmas or after... mostly in the dark navy.

I like willis better because it's larger don't think I would get enough in the station bag to justify having one.

I also have the "lunchbox" totes in white, brown and black, and they are small but I love the shape.

That extra inch or two can make a big difference. :graucho:

The Station Bag came in almost all the "classic" colors as the Willis except for Taupe and Gray. They also had colors in the mid-80s that have been discontinued, like Putty, Tabac, Burgundy and Mocha.

Hi! I recently purchased a Prairie Bag that is brown, but not brown, more a grayish brown. It definitely doesn't look like a faded Mahogany. The bag was made in 1995. Do you know if Coach made Prairie Bags in brown shades other than Mahogany in 1995? Thank you!!

Just a word to the wise - it would have been better just starting a new thread instead of bringing up an 8-year old one. The boards get crowded enough with new posts, adding dead 8 year-old posts to the queue and waiting while they fall back into oblivion doesn't help.Please, always check the dates of previous posts before replying to them. Thanks!

The color you described is Taupe and it was a 1995 color. Above is the picture from the Fall 1995 catalog.

I have a station bag in the dark reddish brown. I love it such an easy bag to carry goes with any outfit and fits my needs perfectly. I used it as my main every day for about a year and it has little to no wear whatsoever. I have been wanting a willis but haven't found the right one.
