The bag didn't come with a long detachable strap so I don't know what the loops were for. Perhaps someone thought ahead to the possibility that long straps might be added at a later date and allowed for that eventuality. (But I'm just guessing here.)

In Juicy, I only comment when I'm sure of the answers to the questions. I'll look at your posts but I prefer not to guess when I'm not confident enough to know I'm accurate.

Thanks again, BeenBurned. I pick up "stray" shoulder straps...I'll have to see if I have one that will work.
 
Didn't expect to be back this soon...can someone have a look at this D&B ID case?
From GW.
Approx. 4.25"w x 2.75"h x .125"d.
Thanks in advance, as always!

There aren't any red flags but I'd need post pictures. (Please read post #1 for the information we need.)

I'm very sorry, I though I had read them correctly. I'll go read them again.
No problem. It just saves time and work when all the necessary information is posted in the first place.

I grabbed this at my local pay-by-the-pound goodwill. I don't see anything wrong with it. Does anyone else? What's it called? Is it a recent design? Did it originally have a hangtag?

I don't see anything wrong with it either.**

I think it's adorable!

I've only seen a few of them on eBay. It's probably from the early to mid-2000s.

Possibly called a Signature Zip Top Hobo?

Here's a variation, pebbled leather throughout, with a hang tag:

It's authentic.

Often, bags with logo plaques or zipper pulls didn't have fobs. I don't believe that one came with a fob..

I don't know the style name.

This bag is the Anniversary Slim Shoulder bag in Brown Amber-it retailed for $195 so you done good, girl!

@catbird and @bb are correct, of course-no hang tag/charm came with this gal. Congrats and enjoy!
