2005. I have two. One is NWT and the other is a restored preowned Willis. It’s my favorite of all the Willis bags! I was never a blue person until I got this one.

And I have a cute reissued dinky standard tote in the same color! Love this color!

I am not a huge blue person either, but I really love that color.

Just checked and the light denim Willis was made in 2004. And the reissued tote was the small tote, not standard.

I was at a mall 2 weeks ago and saw these ergos in Macy’s and a Coach store. They felt nice. Very nice. Macy’s had one in the shade of blue we covet (tag called it azure). Not exactly the vintage, but close. If you have carried vintage exclusively, it won’t feel the same, but there is a lot to admire. And this is from someone who has been carrying mostly vintage for well over 5 years.
I was saved by the fact I’m not drawn to ergos. And I’m not used to spending over $100 on bags.I think I have a pic on my phone.

Oh, lurking Coach intern, you did tell Stuart I love the brass hardware with this shade of blue . . .

edited, I don't think they are offering this blue, azure officially, on the Coach website.

So pretty! Loving the idea of an ergo with adjustable strap.

As mentioned, I'm not a fan of the Ergo style, but this bag is lovely none the less. I am now curious to see what will be coming out in the future. I didn't handle it extensively, but I will the next time I go, especially to get a feel for the weight. I have a small Legacy Pocket Zip '03 bag and Janice '06, both made in China. While very nice, the leather (the Creed does say cowhide, indicating full grain) is more of grade of the Lightweights from the 90's imo (which I have found to be a very good leather) as opposed to the Classics (lol as the old catalogs call them) from the 90's. So the upside to the reissue Ergo's is that you get a very nice bag that, imo is a respectable nod to Vintage Coach that is likely lighter weight leather than vintage.

I’m curious where the bag will sit if the strap is fully extended. I think ergos are cute but don’t like how high they sit under the arm. Is there a long strap version?

When I see something that is not on the Coach website I ask my local Coach person to check with their Jax distribution center and sometimes she can get it for me. In this case, it may be a color exclusively for stores like Macy’s. That happened to me once. I saw a bag I wanted on Macy’s site so I asked my Coach lady to see if she could get me one (I always bought from her if I could). She told me Coach wasn’t selling that color, that it must be a department store exclusive.

I assume the blue/azure is a Macy’s exclusive.
