The bag is called a straw motif demi and I happen to have a picture of a tag from the bag.(INterestingly, it didn't have "bumble bee" in the name of the style although if selling the bag, I recommend using the key words.)

FYI, the "X" stamp differs from outlet bullet stamp is the X indicates a bag that was liquidated and isn't eligible for warranty. Often, there's nothing wrong with the bag but once sent to discounters (TJ Maxx, Marshall's, Nordstrom Rack, etc.) the warranty became invalid.

Thank you BeenBurned! That's very helpful!

Probably won't be selling the bag anytime soon, it's too cute and just want to keep it :-) But eventually, I may want to sell it one day.
 
I would appreciate your having a look at this bag which I bought from pageclothing on the Canadian Poshmark site https://poshmark.ca/brand/Coach
ps
Once again, I wasn’t able to post the link. My main concern is that all the Thomson drawstring bags I have seen have an open interior pocket on which the creed is placed. Did Coach make that bag in 1994 with a zipped pocket, which my bag has? It is not yet in my possession.

I think I just got the link:

How is it that you can get a link and I can’t? Perhaps my little grey cells are past their best before date.

Many thanks for finding the link and your authenticating the bag

Hi All, I’m so happy to have found this incredible thread. Hoping it is going to save me a few hairs...
Item:
1st - Whitney Hobo (?) not sure of the shade of tan.
2nd - Legacy West Hobo Bucket (?). Pics for this in another posting.
Where purchased or how obtained: New client brought these in. We don’t really ‘know’ her yet. She said she picked them up at consignment over the years and we just want to make sure they check out. Thank you for all your help!
