Happy Saturday night! I think I missed getting this one authenticated as I couldn’t find it in a search. Can you please authenticate for me? I added an additional creed photo. Thanks so much!

Both are authentic.

Thanks @whateve! I'm so excited. I love the look of the Zip Top Shopper, especially in red. Do you know what other colors this bag was produced? Also, I love the Classic Hobo. It reminds of the Beckett Bag that I have in Black, Green and Orange, but with an outside pocket.

The Zip top shopper came in mahogany, black, british tan, red, aqua and lime. I had the smaller version in aqua.
You have a Becket Zip in green and orange? Lucky you! I used to have in purple but at the time I didn't like long straps and there was no way to shorten it. The Beckett had some amazing colors. I've never found a classic hobo.

Good afternoon, I hope everyone is keeping well...
Could I kindly get an authenticity opinion on this bag in my possession?

It looks good.

It's not nearly as old as the seller claims. It was made in 1995, not 1970.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I'll try to find it in aqua and lime colors. What is the style # for the smaller Zip Top Shopper. Here's a picture of my Orange Beckett Zip, but I cannot find a picture of the green color. I actually bought the Orange from a tPFer, but I did not know until after I received it and did a reveal. I was stalking a purple one on eBay, but the price was double what I paid for the orange and green one and then they accepted a Best offer from someone esle. I'll keep looking.

That's gorgeous!
The mini shopper is style 9993. It also came in white. Here's aqua.

Thank you. I've seen this style before, but I did not the name. Aqua is lovely.

You're welcome. You can't see it very clearly but the side panels were a slightly different color than the front and back panel. That is a common problem with lighter colors in 90s bags.

Oh yeah, I totally knew it wasn’t 1970...I’ve been reading the SaleArea guides and knew they only started using the style codes in the 90’s. I’m fixing it up and will post on the rehab thread when done!

This has to be one of the weirdest listings I've ever seen. (And there have been some oddballs.)

Can anyone read the creed? I'm wondering if the "choker" is made from parts of a fake.

I can't make it out either but that is...one "interesting" necklace.

looks like someone was trying to be creative but failed.

I used to make jewelry both as a hobby and professionally and I, ah, cannot say this design appeals to me, that's for sure.
