Here is a pic inside of bag with the slip pockets but bag isn’t opened all the way. I see two slip pockets but could that be a 3rd off to the side?

Just picked up this beauty on bonanza. The seller said it was a MAB and I don't dispute that, but the zippered sides makes me wonder if there is another name for it. The leather is also buttery soft. Seller said it was Black Cat leather...? Comes with the birdie lining and is too old for a crossbody strap. Thanks for any help!IMG_3710.JPG

If it has 3 zip pockets opposite the zippered pocket, it's a MAB, 2 is a MAM. This is the Zip MAM or MAB. Different only in that it has the extra zippers.

What do you think of the second pic is this peacock? Looks like it to me! The first bag is peacock so the pic says.

Yes that was a China lining. But like I said, I have... Lamb periwinkle, lamb navy Luxe, dark brown lamb, the blac cat MAM, and maybe more and the quality is excellent. Some thought the stitching on the MIC bags was better. Some people had problems with the lining bleeding, I have not encountered this though.
The bags made in NY were great, but not without problems. Floppy handles was one (which I found an easy fix for), uneven stitching, or uneven studs. You really have to look hard to find these things but for instance on my Mattie the stitching is not straight near the zipper. It really isn't noticeable, I only did because I examined it after reading about it.

Yup! There were some incredible leathers made along with that blue/white stripe lining!

I second Peacock ;) also owned something in that before.. if I’m not mistaken or I’ve seen it at the sample sales and Peacock was that color + leather!
