It looks good. I recognize the anchor on the strap clip. What are all those little bumps?

Thank you, Whateve!

The bumps seem to be part of the clip itself. You can feel them distinctly, but they are the same color as the clasp. They seem permanent to me, but I bought this bag as my (first!) project, so I'll let you know...

Many thanks again!

Of the top six, NONE of them are listed in the 1989 Holiday catalog, and according to my notes at least 5 of the 6 had been temporarily discontinued several years before 1991.

The Stewardess was brought back several times after that, not including the recent remakes. The Classic Shoulder Bag disappeared in 1990 and came back in "91 and '97, the Crescent Bag seems to have vanished around 1984. The Courier Pouch and Slim Satchel Compact had also been dropped by the mid 1980s and the Shoulder Pouch Small a few years before that, although the Slim Satchel Compact made another re-appearance in 1993.

So all of them had been "discontinued" for at least a year before they were brought back as Retro. A few have had more lives than a cat.

Thanks. I like the idea of this anniversary collection that stays truer to the original designs better than the new anniversary collection, at least what I've seen of it.
