This isn't related to authenticity, but I can't help but comment on the leather craft. I have this little bag in rust and mocha. If you look at the seam in the first pic, for the center seam of the bottom of the bag, there is a tiny little nip taken out of each piece of the leather. It was was intended to line the line the pieces up correctly when sewing them together. Needed to have everything line up exactly for these bags!
I remember that from my early sewing days using patterns.

It's fine. (Weird that your post shows a different bag! But the Sonoma is fine.)

I had a feeling that Ebay was "making improvements" on their photo-posting software. And of course the "We found something similar" listing replacing the Sonoma listing and claiming to be a 9058 Legacy Leather Hobo doesn't look ANYTHING like either the Sonoma or the small bag in the link so I'm not sure what makes it similar. It also has no creed photo that I can find, a broken zipper, a probably fake zipper pull with wonky stitching, and silver strap grommets with brass-color buckles.

Great improvements, Fleabay! Keep up the good work! :graucho:

On a more serious note:
We hope all our Texas members get their electricity, gas, heat and water back up and running ASAP. Literally MILLIONS of residents have NO power, no heat, frozen and burst pipes, are running out of food - most stores' shelves are already empty - and being told to boil all drinking and cooking water and no way to do it. Temps both outside and inside their homes are at or below freezing. It's an incredlble disaster and dozens of people have already died, although of course their senior(?) senator, initials T.C., has it handled. He and his family flew to Cancun. As one of his constituents said to ABC News on camera, "He can stay there".

End of rant.

Rant to your hearts content. I am used to minus 20 and minus 30, I have no problem (big ass coat that goes to -30C and boots to -40C) BUT the population in Texas have never experienced this. You probably are unable to get a good coat. So sad and seems like United States is slow to help. What is going on?
