None of my family or friends do Willis so that is a style I can’t gift to them. It is my favorite style. (My first introduction to Coach was seeing a coworkers navy Willis bag around 1993 and it was love at first sight!) So now I have Willis duplicates for some colors because I upgraded to NWT or better-conditioned ones.

These days I carry mostly two styles, a Willis or a Rogue 30 depending on how much I’m hauling. For quick errands I love the small flap bag or a Watson. Tonight I did take one of my legacy bags to dinner, a Candace in a leather/signature combo and one of the few signature bags I own. It’s a great size and very versatile. When these cane out I bought every color in leather!
Which Rogue 30s do you have? I’ve been debating whether or not to get one for months.

Which Rogue 30s do you have? I’ve been debating whether or not to get one for months.
When it first came out, I didn’t care for it because I didn’t think I could fit what I needed to carry to my office in it. It holds more than you think possible. Bought the patchwork first on sale and have since become a big fan. Besides the 30s, I have three of the 39s (oxblood, grey, Ivy green) and one green 25 Rogue. My favorite size is the 30. You won’t be disappointed if you get one.

In the 30s I have the olive, bright red, saddle, oxblood with laced handles, colorblock beechwood/chalk in smooth leather, turquoise with laced handles, Ivy in smooth leather, patchwork in mixed leathers, and a new MTO dark tonal yellow with snakeskin handles on the way that is to die for! And the patchwork has pockets lined in a gorgeous tangerine orange. Photos of most of mine included here. My favorite so far is the red with oxblood and patchwork close behind.

Curious question: How would you rank the vintage coach leather from the various countries and why?….US….Costa Rica….Mexico…Hungary….Dominican Republic….China. I only have ones from the first three and find that my fave is Costa Rican (so buttery silky soft yet a little thinner), followed by Mexican (buttery soft but thick)…wonder if diff countries use different animals or tanning process somehow to account for the differences….
I love this question ❤ I gravitate towards Costa Rican leather too. So buttery soft. Though I have noticed it’s prone to changing colour maybe? US leather feels really thick to me, and Turkish is also really nice. My made in China is a city bag after 2004 and doesn’t feel very thick. Lightweight but not thick.
I saw that courier set insanity lol! All I could think was, “damn it ladies, pull yourselves together, they’re just bags!” :lol:. I feel the same! Im really grateful to have the bags I do. Im sorry you didn’t get your currant chunky case, I truly hope you find another one for a reasonable price:hbeat:. My red Winnie seller delayed shipping it by 2 days because of a blizzard. I couldn’t focus on anything else for those 2 agonizing days! Then I couldn’t sleep while it was in transit because I was worried it would get lost. Then I almost had a mini heart attack when it showed up at my doorstep in a crushed box! Basically, the red Winnie is probably one of the best-worst buying experiences of my life. 4/10, kinda don’t wanna repeat lol
omg this is so me. I can see she’s looking beautiful in your profile pic. Such a gem how does the Winnie compare in size to the Regina?
 
FYI from what I've heard, they did make the Kisslock Cashin Totes (albeit not in that exact shade of green) as well as several versions of the Cashin 20 and Cashin 22 totes, but they're all International Exclusives. There were none ordered for the USA stores... which is bonkers to think about!

I wanted to buy several of these, but there are zero in stock in North America. It's really a shame.

Yes, they will only have the double kisslock in army green color and a pretty light purple. I have been monitoring Coach websites in Japan and Europe. Right now, the new spring bags are only available for sale in Japan but they will be in North America very soon. My SA is keeping watch. She found this green spring tote bag for me 2/15 so I keep hoping the kisslocks will show quantities for ordering before they hit the website.

Interesting side story….the item number reflected in the Coach inventory employees look at was the green kisslock. When I saw the order, it wasn’t the kisslock so I contacted the SA. She said I could cancel it but decided to move forward and see if I liked it as the kisslock would not come in this pretty green (which is a perfect match for my green 1941 Willis). It was a bit larger than I wanted but I was on the fence because other than that I liked it.

I had hooked up another bag friend with my SA and she had cancelled because she could only afford to get one bag and wanted the kisslock. Coach screwed up and sent the bag after refunding her money! She called our SA to report it and it was decided since Coach was in error she could keep it. We have become quite good friends and I has just sent her a gift so she decided to send me the free bag and told me to return mine! She could sell this bag online but she wanted to give it to me. I’m still amazed at this gift.
