Hello,
I finally got my hands on a Regina. I am so impressed with the strap drop length (and what a great small bag!). I notice so many Reginas sold without the original straps. Does anyone have insight on why? Is it due to the skinny strap wearing over time, or was it too long for most and widely replaced? Does anyone elses' heart break everytime they come across a pristine Regina without the strap?
I don’t like the skinny strap for the Regina. Used it once and it killed my shoulders. I’m sticking to handheld until I find an alternative thicker strap.

Yes! And the Court too. I understand those who prefer to hand carry but wish they would put the strap inside the purse so it doesn’t get lost forever. On the bright side missing straps do make for good bargains!
 
I tried Willis many times but always not in love, every time I saw other’s gorgeous Willis collections, I felt the urge to try it again. After got my hands on a couple of Logans, finally I came to the conclusion that Willis is not for me, but Logan is.

ETA: the Mahogany Logan has pen mark on the left close to turn lock tab, I used Sapphire leather cleaner, it lightened the ink, but also removed some leather color. The small area color was touched up with a bit leather antique finish gel and cpr mixture.

My court bag was pristine and came without the strap. I bought it in a lot with other bags so it was cheap. I paid more than double for a strap, which was hard to find since it is navy. It doesn't match perfectly, which makes me a little sad.

I can see why you like the Logan. Willis isn't for me either. Logan looks less serious, more playful.
