It's hard to beat a Willis for functionality and good looks. There's a reason they're so popular!

I think the Classic Hobo #9855 is somewhat rare. It's also pretty large, with a pocket on the front (not a gusseted pocket though) and a zip closure. It might have the same problem as the Taft: large interior space that swallows everything.

Another pretty rare bag that is a good size is the Becket zip. It came in some really interesting colors.

I have one of these in black and it is a great bag! I don't find it swallows things up. I haven't seen them around much either. The pocket is a little useless on the outside, it's not very secure.

Never seen that one before! Love that purple! Looks so cute with that tag charm. I love really colorful stuff.

Reminds me of a Nomad with a longer strap!

Not a largebag but the right size for me, I have been using my aubergine Devon for the last few days. Not a rare bag but an unusual color:

That is what it reminds me of too!

Thank you all for the suggestions! I’ve got a legacy zip on its way to its new home, should be here next week. I’m hoping it will be a good combination of big enough and not too big.

I should have checked in here before I bought it. I like the bags that were suggested. I’m hoping the dementions are similar

The Legacy zip is a great size and has a convenient outside pocket. I find it a little heavy due to the thick leather.

I do like the Classic Hobo, I stumbled onto one at a flea market and it was one of my first pair of real rehabs!
Interestingly, after spending way more time searching on eBay than I want to admit to, I see both of these styles quite regularly. I see the Becket mostly in black. I see the Classic Hobo in just about every color they offered it, including the spectator versions. Although on a cautionary note, one of the styles I see faked often is the Classic Hobo in BT with a 5 digit id#, stamped made in Korea. Often .

Was someone looking for a pony express?

Isn’t everyone lol? I saw the black one. Off to look up the other!
On vacay in FL. No luck with any vintage bags. Yet. God bless my niece. She is googling *estate sales near me*.

Last night I saw the Becket in Jade on eBay. I believe if you search with Jade and vintage Coach it will come up. Not AT.

That black one has been up for auction at least once before. I asked the seller about the original strap because it doesn't look like it has the binding that goes all the way around. She said she would look for it, but I guess didn't find it?

Wonder what went south with the prior auction.

i saw those. I wonder why the black one is getting more bidding than the BT.
