The first catalog showing a photo of the adjustment buckle is late 1998 but it may have been introduced earlier in that year or even in 1997 since there are a few Courts with 1997 serial numbers and buckle adjustments in my files..

Cream Gigi for sale on EB: No idea if it is authentic, but I've seen people going Gaga for Gigi's so I thought I'd share.

In that time frame, I don’t recall Mocha being offered. In fact I don’t recall seeing Mocha as a color offering for the original weight leather after the late 80’s, when bags were starting to be made routinely outside of NYC.

Found one of my holy grails - a slim zip up tote that fits my laptop and not much more. I’ve never seen one of those before - looks like a slim satchel (plus the middle seam), but with long handles. The dimensions are about 14 x 9. Anyone knows what is it? A catalogue pic would be great. TIA.
It might be this (1976 ad, style #9510, name uncertain but possibly Shopping Bag, no measurements given):
Thank you! Hyacinth had mentioned it in another post. The color just looks so much darker.
Thanks, that’s probably it. It has the wedge shape, just like the one in your picture.
I'm looking at these Legacy styles more and more. By the way, I love your avatar! What style is that please?
My husband neglected to get me a present for my birthday, so I bought Sea foam Regina a friend to play with, Green Regina! (hard to see color in 1st photo) . In beautiful condition, authenticated and from a seller right here in Michigan. All I have to do is glue the hang tag back together. Can you tell I like top handle bags? 
Outside pics:
I also took photos next to my Manor bag (#9977) if anyone is looking for a size comparison.
And then everyone with Willis, which I had from a long time ago.

Thank you!! I am ashamed to admit to any but people on this site that I have more, but these are the top handle “sub family”. I can’t bring them all out at once because the hubs might see... I started reading this thread after I bought the green Regina and one thing led to another, and suddenly I have a Court bag heading my way! This site has a way making me want MORE!!!
Still on the wish list: red Regina or Court. Someone on here has a blue Regina that I am coveting.
I’ve never tried the Janice or Patricia or Ranch or Stewardess styles. I have my eye on a Taft bag though, after seeing hers on the blissfully obsessed blog a few months ago. So pretty!
This forum makes me crazy. I've been on a bag ban due to some recent large purchases I made and I logged in here a short while ago just to get my fix and keep up with the chat and now I have a Willis on the way. Another Willis. My 6th Willis! A 1998 Costa Rican black with nickel hardware Willis. What the heck is wrong with me? I have bags stashed all over my house, too. The other day my dad came over to take a look at my bathroom which we're going to re-tile and he opened up the door to a new vanity that I bought but haven't installed yet and a pile of vintage bags fell out. They are my rehab projects that I had to set aside when work got crazy. He just looked at me. Didn't say anything, just gave me the hairy eyeball. I didn't feel guilty though, I put my bags away and just kept talking about the tile I want for my bathroom. I pay my own bills, I bought my own house, I won't be ashamed of my handbags. I pay for them myself! I'm lucky I'm not married though, that might be another story....

Hairy Eyeball!!! LOL!! I know that look. I told my husband that I rehab and sell them, and he gets all excited that I am monetizing my obsession! I do sell them (some of them!)
And there is no one on this forum that would lift an eyebrow over buying a black Willis with nickel hardware made in CR. How could you walk away???
