@whateve had it correct, there were shenanigans happening with the first auction on this bag.This is actually the third time it’s been re-listed. The first time it bid up to $610. Either something is wrong with it, buyers are canceling out of remorse or the seller isn’t getting the price they want for it

I think people are backing out. I had that on my watchlist and it kept going up and up. I have waited on some stuff and have seen it relisted after going really high, especially some of the vintage Pyrex. I am a verified SGW addict, so I watch a lot of random auctions. I buy EVERYTHING there since my local gets all the Target salvaged goods, so we're talking brand new instant pots for $25, etc.
Willis is bigger than the city bag. The city bag has a little more space than I need but it is comfortable. It is such a mom bag, but I really like it. Clean, simple, holds a lot and can be worn with anything.
Willis is not nearly as big as it looks on insta posts. I think it is just a photo effect. It is not jumbo briefcase sized like it can look in photos. An alternative is the Court style wise, you said it is a bit small. The city looks nothing like either one, but it is in-between in interior space
I am going to try the rambler next. I know everyone loves the court but I am not sure about it yet.

I was going to bid on it but not for that price or condition. I would *love* to have a periwinkle Winnie but jeez, I don't want to spend a mortgage payment for a crap bag!
I sold my Courts. It's a heavy bag and the straps are thin so it digs and makes it uncomfortable to carry.
The Shelton might be an option for you. ?? Comfortable to carry, holds a lot, slim..
I bet Willis is just as heavy. I sold my court too. It is too formal of a bag for me. I like the look of the plaza more, but I would use a guitar strap.
Do you mean Rambler's Legacy? It's an adorable looking bag. A little small but the extra pockets make it useful. I like the thicker strap too.
There is a Rambler too but it is a big bag.
GW will be even happier when the payment is complete. Wouldn’t be surprised if it gets relisted …
I think the digging is due to the width of the strap. The skinner the strap the more weight per square inch. If you love using the court bag itself try a guitar strap.Oddly, I carry my Willis' often. I don't feel they are heavier than the Courts. Willis doesn't dig like the Courts did.
Sigh.. Everyone is different.
Some thoughts on recent browsing online. Where have all of these fakes come from? I think it's Spring cleaning time, with people trying to dispose of bags that either they're not sure about or that they know for sure are fakes. Just this morning, my scrolling found three fake Coach vintage bags and I don't think I even know that much to recognize that many fakes! I also found two fake duffles. The more annoying story involves an auction and a request for a creed photo that was ignored prior to the end of the auction. Not paying got the seller's attention, then comes the photo with the familiar "P1T" creed for a made in the United States bag. The other bag was coincidentally ended at the same time as the seller sent me the photo with the "J3H" creed. Hmm. Be careful out there, folks. Lots of fakes around. Always ask for the creed photo and have a bag authenticated here if you're not sure.
Hey all! After the advice I receive from here, I wanted to try the Willis bag to see if I like it.
Came across this and wondering if it's black or gray. It's so hard to tell the color sometimes due to variation in lighting, etc! It is listed as black but not sure if it is actually the dark gray one.
What do you think - is it dark gray or black?
