Hi ladies.. I thought I start a thread so everyone had a place to go if they needed help identifying a color/ style/ lining etc..

Forgive me if this thread is already started but I haven't been able to find one.

I'll start:

Here a bag on ebay that appears to have both old & new hardware. I'm guessing that one picture is borrowed or something but what struck me as odd is that in the very first picture you can't see any type of zipper pull.. No tassels.. no zipper pull.. nada!! What is up with this bag ladies??

I think it is a glazed emerald with the new hardware. If you look to the far right at the end of the zipper you can barely see the large gold pull though it is really hard to tell without bigger pics.

maybe it was just a sample and that's why they left the tassles off. I've got a sample sale bag (I think) that has both silver and gold hardware.

So do you think all the pictures of the old hardware are just pics of a different bag? You can clearly see the side pictures and it has old hardware.. so im still a bit confused. I should probably ask.

I am guessing that this bag is truley a sample as it appears to have a mix of old & new hardware..

It has all old hardware except a new zipper pull but it also has the newer black & white pattern lining..
I just find it weird that you can't see any kind of zipper pull in the frontal picture!

Yes, I think there is some discussion regarding this one in the post deals thread. The general consensus is that this is truly a sample. That is rather odd about the lack of tassle though. If you're interested, I'd contact the seller about that.

Melissa Ann · May 20th, 2008, 09:09 AM

On the left side in the first pic, you can see the new hardware, large square clip. The other side is the plain clip. (Sample or quality control issue? I don't know, maybe some were made with one of each clip, or maybe they just made a bunch with what they had for the sale, it was pretty crazy down there.) There probably is a zipper pull under that flap, you should ask tho. It looks like it is pushed up under it.

I would just ask about each of these things and if you still like it...buy it! :)

As a "new model" is would not have tassels I would presume.

This bag is the dark green that RM had i think on Friday at the Sample Sale. It was truly a sample- the color never went into production. We just know the color as dark green, and its not the emerald because it is really close to black. Here is a pic that DEE emailed to me as i was definitely contemplating this bag...

Trayler · May 24th, 2008, 04:59 PM

I purchased this RM MAB from ebay and I just received the bag today.The seller seemed so nice and willing to answer all my questions.The bag was said to have been used twice...it looks worn.
My main question is did RM ever make"naked" tassels and did she attach tassels to YKK zippers?
Also the REBECCA MINKOFF nameplate on the inside of the bag is silver,I've only seen gold ones so I'm not sure.Could someone check this out for me?Thanks.

lilac0485 · May 24th, 2008, 05:09 PM

I have a silver nameplate in my bag with silver hardware. So that should be ok.

is it suppose to be silver with silver and brass with brass, or could it be mix and match? Im curious

lilac0485 · May 24th, 2008, 05:19 PM

Hi Tomifey,

What do you mean by "naked" tassels? Also I'm not an expect on the older styles. You might want to PM Gung, since she has a ton of the older bags. But from looking through the MAB/MAM pictures thread, it looks like the tassels should be connected to the rings and not a YYK zipper pull. Could this be a sample?

I'm sorry for my poor explanation...yes,by naked tassels I meant not attached to rings...also wondering about the tassels attached to the YKK zipper.

Trayler · May 24th, 2008, 06:05 PM

I found this picture(Navy MAM) and the tassels are not attached to rings but what about the YKK zipper? It is driving me nuts thinking she modified the bag and tried to hand it off to me in an almost new condition

littlerock · May 24th, 2008, 06:42 PM

Yes.. the older tassels were skinny and plain (no rings on the end).. I'm assuming that is what you mean by "naked".. This bag is from a very early season I think.. As for the brass hardware and silver nameplate -- that is just weird. No idea what to say about that unless this person got it at a ss and then it would actually make sense!

Trayler · May 24th, 2008, 06:56 PM

Per the name plate she says she bought the bag from shoprapunzels.com.
