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.

This pretty metallic purple Balenciaga Town. Sorry the lighting isn't the best. As you can see, it passed the all important feline inspection.

It's gorgeous, and I'm glad your cat approved it!

I think this amazing red would make me faint too. Now I'll know what it's like to be @RuedeNesle !

When you trip over a curb because you couldn't stop staring at someone's red bag then you'll really know what it's like to be me.

LOL! Here's mine...my first "work" bag when I got a job with AAL. Over 40 years old. In those days I think Coach called it "The Stewardess Bag"
Circa 1981

The Polene is very cute!

Regarding a brown bag, I've been wanting a squishy, medium sized lightweight brown bag.
So I ordered this Lauren Graci bag in brown. It's granny chic I suppose, but it's in a nappa lamb leather, and and it looks very scrumptious! I can't wait to receive it. View attachment 5714934View attachment 5714935

The leather looks gorgeous!
I wouldn’t worry about Granny chic-my 23 year old friend calls my H Tsako my Granny bag and cannot understand why it’s not covered in logos!

Wear her in good health!xxxxxx

wow! It looks wonderful! Coach called it the station bag. There was a different style called the stewardess.

I received my brown Graci bag.
It's super scrumptious and I really like the chocolate dark brown.

Thanks! After this photo was taken, I cleaned up the brass. The bag honestly looks brand new now. Those old coach bags are bombproof.

Oh, I love this style! Is it the station bag? Very similar in size to the Willis but a bit smaller. The station bag has been on my list of bags to find.
