Hello
I've been looking for this in BT for a long time but I thought this bag came with a key ring button snapped inside on the upper left corner of the Creed patch? Am I recalling correctly? Please authenticate. It hasn't shipped yet I could possibly cancel the order.

Please wait for one of the other authenticators for an opinion on the creed, but it did come with a detachable key fob in the upper left corner of the pocket.

Thank you! Great I'm not imagining this. I noticed the pic you posted is of a bag I from 1997. I came across this listing where the bag is same as mine but from plant B though from the same year 1996. The seller calls it a "Pilot" bag. So maybe 1996 was the first release and the key ring was attached in 1997?

Hardware sometimes gets replaced.

When referring to a previous post or recent authentication, please re-post the original link to the listing and/or the oriiginal post number. It's a lot less time-consuming than making us look through all your recent posts.
Ok, sorry about that. It does look like the hardware on the strap was replaced. Thanks Hyacinth.
 
Hello, authenticators. I haven't let my daughter's wedding in less than two weeks stop me from perusing ebay for these duffle sacs. Everyone needs a break from the madness!

Vintage Coach No 9085 Duffle Sac Feed Bag Shoulder bag MOCHA
link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coach-No-9085-Duffle-Sac-Feed-Bag-Shoulder-bag-MOCHA/223628787258
seller: tradingdungarees
item number: 223628787258

How is the leather of bags made in Turkey? Compared to the USA or NYC bags?
Any guesses on the color? (sorry if this annoys--color distinction was never my strength and after cataract surgery it didn't get any better!!)

Thanks in advance and thanks for all you do!

Could be. I have another example with no key fob, for comparison. I believe @Hyacinth said it couldn't be authenticated. I'll try to find that post.

Hi everyone! I'm in a coach reetzy group and this woman is selling a preloved Willis bag from 1995 I believe. I did get opinions form the admins on the reetzy group but I want to have a final authenitcation before purchasing it.
It must be a private group because I/we can't see anything.
