A thrifted 1998 Coach Willis. This is a bag I very much coveted in my twenties (back in the 90’s) and thought it was far too expensive then, on my meager salary. I found it in my local second hand store last week for $25.00. I wish I had taken a “before” pic before rehabbing. It was pretty dry, faded, misshapen, stained, and well-loved. The thick leather bounced back beautifully and is now very soft.

How does this compare with the non-soft ones? I have a couple of older ones that were made before the soft line came out and I’ve always been curious.

I’m useless here - I don’t think I’ve ever touched or seen one of the non-soft ones. Not many folks carry MG around where I live. The soft one is lovely tho!
