Oh okay. I know last time you told me to look for bags with that number in the creed, which has been hard! Lol

And when I do find one, it’s not real. Geez. I’m so glad I have you ladies helping me because my head is spinning.

Thanks
It's the correct number but not the right font. The differences are subtle.

So I came across this little draw string . . . I took the plunge and will have it next week. Would like to know your thoughts, I can give you more info when it arrives. And as luck would have it, I actually have a 1988 Holiday Gift Catalog listing the Drawstring Sac-small! Discussed in March ‘19 and Feb ‘20 here too.

Good catch. I missed the strap variation.
Here's the website page showing the 44-inch strap:

View attachment 4850114
The strap was either shortened or not original to the bag. I have the same bag, I think it was designed to be a crossbody.

Thank you all!

The good news at least the strap doesn't look horrible. I grabbed a chain strap on the Outlet site and this one I'll make a wrist loop with it. But I GREATLY appreciate all of your insight :heart:
