Any idea what this is called? There's no creed or number (as with many wristlets). I think it's cute and I got it cheap, but I'm curious what it is. The hanging paper tag is just from the secondhand shop I bought it from. There are no pockets at all inside, just a tiny black fabric tag that says "Made in China". Thanks

It looks like a Patent Gallery Wristlet style 3440 from around 2004.

Is this mff? I'm wondering how this will wear as I use it. If it's too delicate I'm going to return it.

It looks like a Kristin, which was made for both FP and MFF. There should be a made in China label inside. If there is a dot on the label, it was made for factory. I don't think it looks very delicate.

Mine says Made in Vietnam. There's no dot on either side of the tag. It's the metallic leather and I hear it can be iffy depending on the line.

Made in Vietnam is fine too. It was made for full price since there is no dot. I have some delicate metallics but they are the sparkle suede kind, not like this, and I don't have a metallic Kristin so I can't say for sure, but this one doesn't look that delicate to me. You could search the forum for threads on metallics to see if anyone commented about this leather.

Oh I found the bullseye stamp on the other side. This also means its not mff right? I get them confused.

The bullseye is put on items that are FP deletes once they have been transferred to the factory store. So, it isn't mff.

Thanks for all your replies!

These two are pretty old. The one on the bottom all leather is from 1989. I remember that because it was given to me at my high school graduation. The other no idea of the style or year. It was my mother's and she have it to me as it sat collecting dust.

You can tell the year of the straw one from looking at the creed. In the number, the first digit will be a letter, the next number or numbers is the year. If it is a 2, it is 2002. I suspect this is style #6778, which will also show on the creed after the dash. I don't know the exact name, something like straw basket or tote. Does it have a op art lining?

Next time, post pictures of the creed. Measurements are helpful too.

Hyacinth can probably help with the older one.

Oh I didn't know that!! I learn tons reading these threads. Here's a picture if the creed and inside.

Yes, that is exactly what I thought. It was made in 2002 and is style #6778.

I believe the style of the straw one is called Soho straw tote.

That's a great link! Now I have to look at all the stamps in bags to try and figure out the years of the older bags. Thanks for your help!!

That method only works on bags made from 1994 to the present. It won't help with the leather one or with any bags made before 1994. It's probably a Riding Bag, style 9750.

Any time when asking for identification or authentication, we need to see a clear creed photo of the creed stamp and serial number.
