An authentic vintage Coach Willis Bag. No crossbody strap. See photos of dowel seam. No smoke. No pets. The Willis is one of Coach's most iconic silhouettes, first introduced in 1993 as part of the Legacy collection. It is characterized by its structured top-handle design and a distinctive leather-covered dowel at the top. The Willis is considered a "forever bag" because it was part of Coach's high-end line made from glove-tanned cowhide, a leather designed to grow more supple and beautiful with age rather than wearing out. Because Coach eventually moved much of its production away from this specific heavy-weight leather, original 9927 models from this era are highly sought after by collectors. Materials: Handcrafted from glove-tanned full-grain cowhide leather. Design: Features a front flap with a brass turn-lock closure. Pockets: Includes a full-length exterior back slip pocket and an interior zippered pocket.
