I finally decided to sell one of my bags, so I thought it would be fun to pull them all out of storage and take a group shot before we parted ways! Can you tell my obsessed? haha

Thank you! The black Willis bag on the bottom left. After nailing my interview and getting a job offer 6 months ago, I treated myself by spending the most money I ever have on a Coach for a like-new Willis with original paperwork and box. I had been eyeing the Willis style for years and thought it would be the ultimate work bag. However, I have several hip problems and walk 30 minutes to work everyday and the dowel/rod at the top of the purse just slams my hips the entire time
After wearing it only twice to work I stored it away for the past 6 months but I finally decided it was time to part ways since it just isn't functional for me.That's a shame it didn't work out for you. It's not a style I can carry either. I find most vintage bags too heavy for me to carry crossbody unless they have a wide strap.Thank you! The black Willis bag on the bottom left.

Is this a rare breed? Lol I actually saw another one on ebay today as well.
It is a rare color. However, I'm not sure what color it is because there are three pictures showing 3 different colors! There is no creed picture to authenticate. I remember seeing the other on ebay but it seemed to have a lot of stains.
I'll be watching, just the same.
There was a rather worn one on the online GW recently.
I have just started looking a little on the GW auctions. I saw that blue one. How exactly do you bid there? Are there snipers that work with it? I just don't have time to bid for things like by actually watching and bidding at the last minute.
You have to decide how much you're willing to pay, bid that amount, and then wait to be outbid. I don't think there are any snipers that will work on shopgoodwill (or at least I couldn't find any a while back; maybe that's changed.)
I search shopgoodwill pretty regularly, but don't bother to bid unless I want it badly enough to sit at my computer and "snipe" manually at the last minute. I do put things on my watch list just to see how much they sell for.
It works for me like eBay. In general as a bidder, I often bid toward the end of auctions, or when I want to go to sleep! My first time ever bidding in an auction I got into a bidding war with someone. Huge. Lesson. Learned. I’ve won a few auctions at GW, and I believe I may have been the only bidder. Usually the items I am interested in that are in better condition go higher than I want to pay.
My guess would be that there is sniping going on whenever a desirable item is up for auction.

Nice collection and nice way to style got the photo. I hope you don’t mind if I do a shot like that at some point.
@VNG I forget to quote your post!
I am also sorry to hear that the Willis is not working out for you. Hopefully you will find another bag that works for you and you enjoy.

Still drying out my Stewardess Bag after dunking. What color is this? I love the contrast stitching. Under the flap has the best representation of the color. 
It looks beautiful. It looks blue in that photo, but if it isn't completely dry, it's hard to say. Can you post a picture of the underside of the flap when it's dry? Also, the year it was made? I'm curious!
It's against Navy blue shirt for reference. Inner creed is F5B-9525. Is that 95? I'm horrible at decoding the darn things and cant get decent photo. I love the color
