Is it rare because it was Coach made it for Japan only? Sorry if this has been answered before and/or is a dumb question! I saw one of these blue topstitched Willises sold on Posh this past weekend.

I like it! It looks more of a warmer/muted orange than a bright one, which is more up my alley!
What appears to be a green station bag for anyone interested (not sure why they’re calling it a plaza):

Yea, I personally dislike top-handle bags. I have a station thats on its way to me but Im planning on rehabbing it to sell. I figured someone here might like the one I posted because its green
I only have one in BT and enjoyed rehabbing her but like I said...doesnt fit what I want in it and I dont want to play tetris with it. Mine is for sale as well.Yea, I personally dislike top-handle bags. I have a station thats on its way to me but Im planning on rehabbing it to sell.

The green is a great colour though.
You're asking me about a note I made at least six years ago? I'm lucky if I can remember what I had for breakfast. But there was no question mark or "maybe" or "poss." in the note so I must have had a reason. And items made for Coach Japan or listed by Japanese sellers DO sometimes make it into the US.
I have to keep reminding myself of this. I think they are cute but so narrow they aren't functional for me.
Did you get your Bal yet? I got mine and love it! It needs some rehab though.
Still waiting on the site to send the seller her tracked courier bag...should have it by the end of this week...hopefully
Plus @whateve , they were trying to get me to pay them NZ$60 to get it authenticated by them...got the seller in a tizzy and she almost canceled the sale.
We pmd each other and sorted it out. I suppose they were trying to cover their arses and make some extra bucks.
I believe its on a buyer to check before they buy anything so I did my due diligence on it.

I'd be mad if they expected me to pay extra for an authentication I didn't need.
Last week @Morgan_Bellini ordered me to take one for the team, and who am I to defy her? 
So here's my verdict regarding the capacity of the large Saddle Pouch, maybe it will help someone make an informed decision down the line. See the rehab thread for some extremely unspectacular befores and afters.
My main worry before buying the bag was that it might be so narrow that I would end up having to stack my stuff which I find inconvenient. Well, the bag is indeed very narrow, but it is tall enough for vertical orientation of contents, so there's not too many layers to The Stack and quite a few options for your Tetris game. Here's a WIMB, the blue glasses case goes on top. This is everything I typically carry, and I could still add a foldable nylon tote or something. However, the same exact things also fit in the Convertible Clutch or the Manor (the latter with room to spare) where they are a little more easily accessible. This makes the bag not ideal for running the kind of errands where you constantly have to be in and out of your purse.
I love the look of it though, and the security of the buckle closure. If the bag were a quarter inch deeper and had an outside slip pocket, it would be my HG.

I had one that I bought new, around 1986 or so. I think it was Tabac. I loved loved loved the look of it, but its narrowness just didn’t work, and the buckle drove me crazy. I ended up donating it to the thrift store. I hope it works for you. I think it’s a beautiful bag.Last week @Morgan_Bellini ordered me to take one for the team, and who am I to defy her?

I love the color! I like the skinny bags for going to the movies or for quick lunch dates where I just need my wallet and maybe a wristlet. My Station bags are my movie/lunch bags. I can see that not having a back pocket takes off a few points, I feel that way too about so many vintage bags. I really like bags that have back pockets even though I can't quite say what I use it for. Receipts? Tickets? Still nice to have though. Almost a HG is still pretty nice!
I do not regret it, and it does hold a decent amount! Super happy to have her.
Vintage Coach bags like to keep us on our toes. There doesn't seem to be a single bag that checks all the boxes for my 'perfect' bag, but I do enjoy carrying my 'almost there' ones.
