That's happened to me twice! I have two navy Willises because each time I thought I was buying black Willises. Didn't stop me from keeping them, though. I didn't think I would like the navy but I do.
How wide is your laptop? I’ve been on the same quest recently. Mine is 13.5 inches wide, not diagonal. Most vintage totes fit either up to 13 (too small for me) or are 16 inches wide, and huge/heavy. Are you OK with an open top? I really liked the marketing tote, but I commute by subway + walk, so need some protection from the elements and sticky fingers, I felt uncomfortable carrying it. My favorites for now are an American Icon tote (not vintage, but great otherwise) and this bag - don’t remember what it is, but it’s slim and fits my laptop snugly.
I also have a Barclay tote for when I need to carry other stuff too. It’s huge and provides an easy access to everything.
That would be so aggravating. Especially the 2nd time. I have gotten lucky I think, I really think both of my black ones are truly black, a Station and a riding bag. I don't intend on getting any more black so hopefully I am good from here out.
hi, I have and use a manor bag occasionally for work. I have held a Regina but that bag is much smaller and lighter as it does not have a middle zipped compartment or double lined sections. The weight of the bag was a problem until I switched to using one of the new wider coach detachable straps which gave it a more modern edge as well as being more comfortable shoulder/ cross body carry. I tend to carry it crossbody most and find it easy to access my bus pass in the outside pocket and to open the turnlock flap with one hand to access the contents. I am not so keen on opening it hand held, as it gaps open outward and is more difficult to fish around in it one handed. Overall, I love the look of the bag, smart and feminine. I hope that is helpful.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the manor bag!! It’s definitely helpful! Thanks!!!
My favorite vintage green is that jade they made in 1993. They made a Becket Zip in it among other styles.
My all time favorite greens are the emerald they made for Legacy in 2012 and the jade (I think) they made for Madison around the same time.
My favorite is the jade green too (far right, Court bag). I like the brightness of it. I wish all of Coach's greens were at least obviously green. You can hardly tell that the Crosby in this photo is green, but it is.

Yes! I think a green bag is great to add to anyone's collection. I'm a 3rd on jade, I also like loden (olive).
I agree. Here is my one and only green, with her sister in red! I’d love another green (though I’m trying to be good...). I think the seller called this “hunter green” but I don’t think that was an official colour name. I do prefer the deeper green, similar to Morgan’s Willis.
This pic is so helpful! Ya I think agree with everyone that the Jade green is one of the prettiest.
Yas! Love a station, I'm carrying my red station this week!
