Good. If a seller won't send or post more photos, find another seller. Nothing's a bargain if it turns out to be fake.
Yes definitely. .. my mother got stuck in Denver last night on her way home and I stayed up all night worrying about her. ..I think I shopped in my sleep
Nevermind, looks like someone bought it under my nose.
I'm sorry, but I don't have enough experience with most newer styles to be comfortable authenticating them. Let's hope another one turns up soon.
Thanks so much, Hyacinth! I was freaking out because the creed was different than the other station bags (probably because it was made before 1994). The seller said that s/he will send the bag in the box and its original catalogues. What is so valuable about the catalogues? I'm a newbie to Coach, so I don't really know my way around yet! TIA!
A few people who love older Coaches also like to collect the catalogs, and they're usually hard to find in good condition although there's a good supply on Ebay right now from several sellers who are selling their own collections or collections they bought. For me, they're a huge help in identifying older styles and I have a library of actual copies and scans on cds that covers the mid 1980s thru around 2007. In fact I have the same catalog as in the listing you won.
Hi ladies. I am looking at three different bags, two styles. It was advised that I come here since they are styles that have been known to be copied.
Whatcha think?
Thanks much!!!

On the last one- I emailed the seller and she said that the top of the purse doesn't roll to the back when closed properly, but I have some doubts.

The Legacy Small Flap and both the Willises look ok.
Most Willises DO roll to the back, the dowel and top handle add extra weight to the top and it has to settle somewhere. A lot of Willises have 2 wear or indented marks on the back of the bag near the top where the top handle D-rings rest against the back when it's sitting or stored.
Thank you so much. You are amazing. I was reading some of your past comments and you sure know your stuff.
Would you have a preference on any of the three? Between the two Willis bags there is quite the price difference. Do you see any reason to buy the $100 price bag over the $55 one. Thanks again.
I feel like I need to see you a thank you cookie.
Not really but the first Willis has a much better set of photos. The scond one doesn't show what condition the inside of the bag is in.
And THANK YOU FOR COOKIE !!!!

Thanks, Hyacinth! It is cute and perfect for shopping trips when you don't want anything in the way!
Hyacinth, may I ask a question, in case I ever come across a Willis in the future, I don't have one or for that matter, ever seen a vintage one in person. What's the best way to avoid getting those indentations when you store or set down a Willis bag?
