Hello! I’ve spent hours trying to research this bag. I’d appreciate your help with authentication! (I noticed the target Mark and believe that means it was a boutique bag that was sold at an outlet?)

On bags or other items made before Spring-Summer 2006 the "target" or Bulls-eye outlet stamp could also mean an item made just for the outlets. Often there's no way to be sure exactly what it means.

This one is a genuine Sonoma Pocket Drawstring from 1996. Here are both the Natural and Nubuc versions from a 1997 catalog:

It's an authentic Sonoma pocket drawstring natural grain made in 1996.
 
Hi! Somehow I am not sure about this one - were wire/plastic zippers ever used instead of metal in the non-lined bags? Creed is pressed in pretty “hard” - is that a sign? I see the circle for outlet but I don’t mind that.

trusting folks not to get it ahead of me if it is real! Thanks!
I'm not seeing a complete creed picture but what I see looks good. It was made in China in 2005. They started using nylon zippers for inside pockets in the 90s. Being made in China, the leather might not be as nice as earlier bags.
