This one is genuine, made in or around 1990
FYI, the seller, on Etsy FeelsFree, on Poshmark feelsfree and on Ebay kerryjp72 has a history of mixing.

Here's a post in which a number of fakes were pointed out.

Poshmark - Check out the sold black (not) Willis bag and the red (not) City bag: https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintag...ger-in-Black-Leather-6167750cf5eb6b4741d41c83

Thank you so much to the authenticators. I've learned a lot over the years from your assessments, and hope to find some good new rehab projects.

Dear authenticators, I doubt the authenticity of this bag and hoped you would have a look. Many thanks for all you do! :hugs:
The creed photo is very poor but it appears to read J4N - 4082 made in the USA.

Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/275399100046?hash=item401f10c68e:g:pV4AAOSw825i3VDD

Seller: lonewolfstore

Listing number: 275399100046


There's NOTHING right about that bag, from the hardware to the super-fake serial number even though it's unreadable. Feel free to report it.

BEWARE OF BUYING FROM EBAY SELLER " LONEWOLFSTORE "

1- my browser doesn't work with Carousell so I'll leave both of these for someone else.

2- the creed and serial aren't readable, and the strap is NOT the original one that came with the bag, it has the wrong kind of clip. Again, I'll need someone else to look at this one.
