Yeah it’s not at the top of my list. But then again, the courier wasn’t and I love that bag sooooo there may be room for the pony in my life at a decent price.

These reissued sling bags were sold in limited quantity of 75 on Monday during a runway show. I went to see new product drops and only the sling bag was offered. I have no interest so didn’t get one when I could. They were $395. I just saw this outrageous listing.

I saw a picture of someone carrying one and it looked very cute. When I got my Bonnie Cashin bag in that style I thought it was the weirdest bag I'd ever seen. I've never worn it out of the house.

ETA: They'll probably make more and the limited edition will be worth a lot less than this person thinks.
It depends on how big they are. My BC that has front pockets, I can fit a card case in one of the pockets. I put my keys in the other one. I don't think they are big enough for my phone.
I use my multifunction wallet as if my life depended on it. I can’t get away from it, even with the massive amount of heavy coinage here. Maybe I will have to get one and see what fits in it, just for experimentation
I like carrying a separate coin purse. I never liked the way coins stain the lining of a wallet. Right now I'm using a black all leather coin purse so if there is staining, I can't see it.I use my multifunction wallet as if my life depended on it. I can’t get away from it, even with the massive amount of heavy coinage here. Maybe I will have to get one and see what fits in it, just for experimentation
I just give my coins to my husband
I don’t like the weight and bulk, eitherMy husband carries the same amount of change every day. I think it is 4 quarters, 2 dimes and a nickel, or something like that.I just give my coins to my husband
I think it’s cute but not practical for me.
Coach is ticking me off anyway. I wanted one of these green kisslock totes and my local Coach SA, who’s watching out for the spring collection for me, thought they had one for sale. It’s the first bag from the spring collection she found in their computer system, not online yet. Style number had the wrong description in their database. She placed the order for me and then I noticed the bag in the email photo was not the kisslock. I went ahead and kept the order because I wanted one of these bags (Plain tote in tan in photo only mine is green).
Turns out this kisslock bag will only be available in army green and light purple (lilac color) and the single kisslock only in aqua color. Coach does this all the time. They get us excited about the colors and styles on the runway and then either sell in other markets, produce very limited quantities that sell out in minutes, or don’t offer the best colors. I would say it might be supply issues from pandemic except they do it all the time.
My Coach SA sent me a little present for the snafu, a personalized hangtag .

I just got these two gorgeous bags today! Photos don’t do them justice.
Thanks to @aqua1117 for the show-stopping, gorgeous, beautiful yellow roll bag 9045. I now have two! She also sold me a beautiful lime green lunchbox not pictured. I love, love, love both! Thanks so much!
And this forest green Crosby just arrived. A handbag friend offered it to me thinking it was black but I hooked her up with a restoration friend who dunked it and found out it was actually green! So I had to have it. I also have a nwot BT Crosby. Classy bag.
I wonder how many bags I will “have” to buy to find the last vintage bag on my wishlist, a lime green shopper 9995.

That green double kisslock is gorgeous! Why they don't make it is beyond me. There have been a few bags I missed out on because they didn't make many but many others I paid full price that ended up at the outlets.
Yes, I don’t get it either. It would be a bestseller. I am hoping the info I got from the SA is just currently what’s known and that maybe it will change. In the meantime, I’m excited to see the green tote that is on the way. Even without the kisslock.

The MYSTERIOUS "MILLIS" has finally made an appearance!
After last month's barely subtle attack on YouTube I thought it would never happen. The ID of the Etsy seller may ring a bell - VintageCoach4Less. Just for the record, I do NOT like that person, and he has made no secret of the fact that he hates my guts.

Unique and...Awesome! Coach Registration #0825-307, Style number was #9930...now who knows! Brass Hardware is in EXCELLENT Condition. Original Hang Tag Included! L:7"- H:9-1/2"- D:3-1/4". it has 2 Straps: The original with a Non-Removable but adjustable Strap - 23" ~ 18" Drop. AND a genuine Smaller coach strap that's part of the 'Millis' Package, that's Removable, and adjustable from 25" to 12"! It also has the Willis Winnie handle! Like a Tall Winnie! Wow! This Purse is a Hybrid you wont find anywhere. Great for either the Willis, Winnie or Murphy collector! All parts are interchangeable, and bag can be returned back to its original Murphy configuration with ease! NO PARTS OR BAGS where destroyed or damaged to make this Cutie! This Purse is in Excellent Vintage CONDITION. Have At It! "
A few of you may have seen this Unique style's introduction on YouTube a month ago where a nice rather elderly (i.e. about my age, 65-70-something) lady was persuaded by the bag's "creator" to make and post a YT video singing its praises and extolling the bag's unique features. She praised the bag and its creator warmly and quoted the general price range that he'd mentioned he planned to list the bags for, IIRC it was about $550-$650 depending on color.
Another regular YouTuber and Coach collector, also a lady in her 60s or 70s (who had mentioned that she was recovering from Covid as was her family) made the fatal mistake of putting up a separate video under her own ID (I won't mention either one because those 2 ladies apparently knew each other and have already had enough grief from this situation) as a response to the first lady's YT video that she had made something similar but for much less money, and also added a few things she disagreed with that the creator had told the first lady about the price, value and ease of use with that added top handle.
Well, it didn't take long for the creator to get wind of it and hit back at Lady #2 and indirectly Lady #1 who had done HIM a favor by promoting his "Millis". He posted a derogatory reply to Lady #2's post and according to her also posted or sent what she said were threats against her and her family. He also sat by silently while several of the "Pit Bullies" from at least one of his private Facebook groups took over the criticisms aimed at both ladies, one of whom Lady #1 had described as being "Dave's rehabber". I believe the lady described her as Michelle. I think Purple is her favorite color.
I Saved many of the posts in Lady #2s video Comments, some obviously from the "Millis"s creators fans and even more from other posters standing behind the 2 ladies. Sadly they both were so upset that they eventually decided to remove both videos, instead of filing a complaint with YouTube for harassment, so both videos are gone although a few people here at tPF may remember them. The second lady sounded near tears when she recorded and posted her decision and the first lady found out what her new "creator friend" was really like. The self- anointed "creator" probably displayed one of the most disgusting reactions I've ever seen on YouTube or any other supposedly 'friendly" social media site. (Just for the record, he also did something almost as classless a year ago, when some OTHER lady who was just showing off (not even selling!) some of her treasured vintage Coaches made the mistake of unwittingly showing what was actually a fake. Not only did the "creator" bug her to let him see the creed (which she didn't) but for the next 3 or 4 days he kept posting in the PUBLIC Comments of that video that "THAT BAG IS FAKE" and publicly shaming and embarrassing that poor lady. She eventually must have complained to YouTube because his posts were finally removed.

I think it’s a silly idea anyway. Not a huge Murphy fan but the Willis handle is out of proportion for this bag. The Winnie carries it off but barely. Not even the Frankenstein bags Coach has come up with have tried this combination. I did like that poor woman’s videos and felt bad for her. If someone is spending that much, they might as well buy a Willis as you said.Speaking of trying to make sense of prices, and of questions no one asked -

Exactly. That top handle just doesn't fit the Murphy. It's way out of proportion, and because of the clips on the long strap the handle won't lay flat against the bag.
That poor lady who promoted his Frankenbag in her video deserved a lot better than what he gave her and Lady #2. Bullies under ANY circumstances are bad enough, but people who bully elderly ladies are truly despicable.
