Some colors have both nickel and brass hardware so I have both. I also found a brand-new currant with nickel when I already owned one. Decided to switch out the hardware on the preowned one from nickel to brass so it will better coordinate with my Mulberry satchel. Normally I carry two bags, purse and carryall type bag, to the office and I like the hardware to match. Here’s a photo of my Willis collection I took a couple months ago. Have since acquired several more plus a custom trust color.
Coach made Willis in many more colors and hardware combinations than you think! I also own four of the newer version not pictured here in oxblood, green, saddle, and black.
