Hihi love!!! The brass hardware goes so well with the box leather!! And love the pink and white floral charms which brings out the feminity!! TFS dear!
All vintage Coach are made with glove tanned full grain leather not box leather this is why these bags are some of the greatest bags out there besides Hermes.
@@abbyluxemburg8968 it's cowhide full grain glove tanned is correct. Doesn't matter still great quality 😁👍 hope you both enjoy the rest of your evening!
@@LifewithLokie in every vintage Coach bag is a Creed/story patch and this is whats written on them. "This is a Coach bag. It was handcrafted in ×xxx of completely natural glove tanned cowhide. The variations in the grain are characteristics of natural full grain leather" Then below this is a date code and style number. In the Creed/story patch will state what country where i put the xxxx for whatever country it was made in. This is in every vintage bag Coach made.
Hi friend! I don't think a top handle from the Willis would be long enough, BUT, you definitely can use a different top handle strap that will fit. I cut the strap off my Murphy because I like options and some times I use a chain strap on it or a claw clip strap like what's on the Willis. You can look on ebay for short top handle replacement straps I've done that before and have a top handle strap that I use on some of my bags that doesn't have a top handle, such as the Murphy. Hope this helps, stay safe and Thanks for watching 🌹 have a wonderful day 😊👍
I'm about to purchase a murphy but wondering is I can unscrew the d ring and remove the strap? So I can do what you do. Change straps. :) these are two gorgeous bags. I love how you dress them up. 😍
Hi friend! I wouldn't take off the D-rings, I just went ahead and cut the strap off completely from the leather attached to the D-rings. You need them to hook a strap to. But, I only did that because I want to use a chain strap or claw clip strap which in my opinion looks better. There's nothing wrong with leaving the original strap, I just like options. Thanks for watching and hope you have a wonderful day 🌹
@@vintagecoachcollector good morning friend. Thats exactly what i want to do. change the strap with a chain to be a nice evening crossbody bag but i don’t want to cut the strap just so i can put it back on when i change my mind and wants the leather strap back again without an extra clamp hardware. Do you think the D ring is detachable somehow?
Hi friend, if you take off the D-rings there's nothing to clip a strap or chain to. The D-rings are what holds the strap/chain. But to answer your question yes they can be screwed off it's the very same that the Willis bag has. But without them you won't be able to use a strap/chain. Hope this helps, have a wonderful day 🌹
This is such good information! I’m so scared with the pre love market since I don’t know enough about coach. I used to have a large collection, but sold and gave away all of my bags. I learn so much on this channel! And it’s lovely getting to see all of your purses!
Thank you so much! I wouldn't be too scared on ebay, just make sure you get the Creed number and the bag lines up with the Creed. I've never had any trouble but do know that back in the day it was a bad place to shop for authentic items, however today's ebay is very strick when it comes to fakes. And even if by a small chance you do receive a fake you can return for a full refund. Hope this helps, thanks for watching and hope you have a wonderful evening 🌹
@@dfrogers831 you're welcome friend. If you see a bag you like on ebay check out the seller, make sure they have great feedback. I always check and make sure they have at least 98 to 100% because those are top sellers who do not want their account shut down for selling fakes. Hope this helps as well. 🌹
Hi friend, I restore my own bags and show others how to do it, it's very very easy to do and they come out as new again. I have a couple videos showing how to do it. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment 🌹 have a wonderful day!
I have a Murphy with the flat piece and it was made in Italy and its authentic and i never trust purse forum. They been wrong many times so i wouldn't doubt that's where you read that. TFS.
Hi friend! I'm not 💯 sure that's where I read that. But I definitely read it online somewhere. Thank you so much for watching ❤️ hope you have a great evening 🌹
Hi friend, sorry but sounds like the bag you have is fake. The style number for the Willis is 9927 and the Murphy is 9930. The style number you gave me is for a totally different bag and the first three digits doesn't match up. There's MANY fakes out there sorry to say 😩
Hello, new to your channel and loved watching your review of these two iconic bags. Great detailed comparison, this is helpful to those who are planning to purchase same. I have also subscribed and hope to see you in my channel too. Have a great day.

Great information. I would like to make my Murphy a top handle. I wonder if a Willis top handle would be long enough.

vintage Coach Collector can I send you a picture of a bag and creed to see if it’s legit?
Would you happen to know where to restore a vintage Coach purse in the Dallas area?

Mine is flat . It also has a seam in the bottom center and has serial code m2z 9974 creed says made in the United States - maybe it’s a fake ??
