Dear Authenticators,
Can you help me to authenticate this bag? I would like to buy this from a facebook friend. She has sent me these pictures. Is this authentic vintage bag? The serial is G7M - 9087


Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Four years at a high school where uniforms and "saddle shoes" were required confirms the truth about white shoe polish drying out the leather. The Good Sisters made sure our uniforms and shoes were always neat and clean and that usually meant a few swipes with white shoe polish every week or two. By the end of the year the white part of the leather was as dry as a bone and cracking across the top of the shoes. Nasty stuff.

For those of you not familiar with saddle shoes, think of them as combat boots for girls.
I tried to find an accurate photo but found almost nothing that showed the true horror of the nun-approved "clunkies" we were required to wear, this is as close as I could get:

I always loved saddle shoes. A few years ago, I found my favorite shoes from the 1980's for sale on ebay and I bought several, new in box. I'm still wearing them. Soft leather saddle nikes.

How about Poodle Skirts? I had one in a sort of gray flannel or felt or Mystery Fabric with a poodle and a traffic light with red, yellow and green pom-poms. The height of fashion, baby! :graucho:

And here it is! Saddle shoes, bobby socks and a poodle skirt!
