My never been used navy City bag made in 1997. It even came with the original stuffing inside and a Coach booklet and registration card. I'm absolutely smitten with this bag!

Congrats on this beauty. How amazing you found this unused and pristine :smile:. I think the City Bag looks especially beautiful in Navy.
 
Wow! That is an amazing find! I found a 1996 Willis in Navy this summer for a ridiculously low price at an antiques mall, and while it is amazing shape, it has been worn. I would love to find a city bag in black like this. If anyone finds one out there, let me know!
I've seen black ones on eBay. Some of them look to be in pretty good shape. The style number is 9790.

Thanks! I do love the navy color.

Great find!
Thanks!

This was one of my favorite Coach bags of all time. What a wonderful score!
It really is a great bag. I think it's the perfect size, not too big or not too small, and with plenty of pockets. And it's easy to carry. I always wished that Coach would have made a 1941 version of this bag, but you can't beat the vintage quality!

I really hope Coach would do this too. I prefer the turnlock on the front rather than that saddle bag flap. Oh well. I look at vintage ones occasionally.

Not City bag but my SA told me there's a Bandana Willis coming out next year. I can't recall what type of leather it has.

Wonderful, enjoy. I love that if one is willing to be patient, there are reasonable new and like new vintage bags out there. I picked up a BT Oliver two years ago, that other than a small scrape, looked essentially unused.
About my 3rd rehab 2 years ago was a moderately distressed BT City that has a great patina that I luv.
Side note to the Coach intern monitering social media: remind the people upstairs we want a vintage reissue. And not the recycled shenanigans you did a few years ago. Edited to add, we can rehab our own bags, tyvm.

I have rehabbed several Willis bags, including a (rare) navy one and they've all come out great; check out the Rehab and Rescue thread in the coach clubhouse for advice about how to rehab your vintage bag.
 
That's good, but I preferred the City to the Willis. I love those outside pockets, you know.
I prefer city to Willis too. When I had a city, it was a little too small for me but now it might work. Willis is a satchel, city is a shoulder bag. Willis hurt my shoulder. I'd like to see a city-like bag with a wider, more comfortable shoulder strap.
