Third..Thank you again in advance!

Item: Fletcher (?)
Seller: Goodwill
Dimensions: 10W, 9T, 4D (max)
Comments: Concerns are different shades of brown on strap front, thin diameter buckles, zipper pull shape, tiny creed font, messy piping overlap on back right side, piping along top of front pocket and main compartment doesn’t match outside edge piping. Why did I buy this, lol?

What a nice Goodwill find. I've seen that same zipper pull on a couple older NYC bags I've rehabbed. I also have one like yours (lighter color) with different colored piping on the flap and back side, and skinny brass buckles.

I can't tell anything from those photos. The listing was sold, not pulled.

Can an etsy seller mark a bag as sold? I just find it odd the bag was listed for ages and as soon as I ask for a better photo of the creed 3 minutes later it's sold? Do you recognize that bag at at as it looks like a type of station bag but it's not. The listing says it was made in the 90's but I've never seen one.

I don't think an etsy seller can mark an item as sold. They can deactivate it but I don't think it would say sold.

I can't tell for sure if there are problems. The shape of the tab might be a little off and the handle might have a little higher drop than it should. Station bags were made in the 90s. I don't know what you mean by your comment. The last picture is of a Dooney for some reason.

I just meant that I've looked at loads of Station/Willis/Winnie's etc and it looked a bit odd. I don't think I ever saw one that looked like this one. I was waiting for the creed as I'm not buying anything anymore without checking with you guys first. That's okay I'm still hunting for another Slim Pouch, I'm dying for a black one. :search: if you come across one please let me know.

Yeah, I don't know why the mannequin is holding a dooney.

It looks a bit odd but it might just be overstuffed. There is nothing to prove it is fake. Personally I wouldn't buy from a seller who doesn't post clear creed pictures. I understand that you only get 5 pictures on etsy but one of them should be a creed picture.
