Unfortunately the serial number isn't readable and we need that and clear readable creed photos to be 100 percent sure about authenticity. It's probably a Chrystie Bag style 9892 from the early 1990s if the measurements are about 7x5x3 inches, there don't seem to be any obvious problems. If you buy it please post a photo of the serial number and link your post back to your original question or to this one. Here's a copy of the description from a 1992 catalog:

Thank you Hyacinth for your time to have a look at it.

See if I can ask for more picture of the creed, the seller said it’s a bit hard to take a photo if it.

Many thanks [emoji120]
 
I thought these looked ok, but if you could check them out I would really appreciate it!

Comments: This one is almost identical to a black willis already authenticated, but the front flap is about a 1/2 inch longer. If genuine, Is that common or maybe just stretching?

Both are fine. There are variations between bags as they were hand made. One of the colors for the Megan bag is navy.

Both are fine.
 
This Costa Rica Lula’s Legacy was a thrift store bargain! I’m hoping it’s authentic, this is one of my favorite styles. I have a previously authenticated Duffle Sac that has the same weird grommets on the strap. Could they be replacement straps?
Thanks so much for your generosity in sharing your knowledge!

Comment: Shouldn't it state where it was made? Seems to be a lot of characters in the creed. IF it's authenticate, can you provide the name, date, etc. please. Any other info greatly appreciated.
 
Can someone look at these two when they get a chance? Thanks in advance. Also does anyone know what they were called. The first one looks like a short Willis bag to me.
