I'm glad to hear it. It's SO easy for that "k" in "wrinkles" or "markings" to look like an X if the light or the angle is just a tiny bit off. I worry about people reporting something as fake based only on that "Phantom X" and getting a perfectly genuine bag pulled by Ebay. That's probably how the fakes makers started making that mistake in the first place.

Very curious about this one. It looks like a Chelsea but I've never seen one with such a long strap.

Neither have I. The strap may have been patched together, or it's just a style we haven't seen before.
Thanks. I sent a message to the seller asking for the number. At first I thought the strap was altered but then I noticed that the bottom of the bag looks rounder than the hobos I've seen.
Is this the same bag? NMA

Here's a blue one with a different strap. NMA

I think that's it. It's style 10137. It looks like the strap in the listing Whateve asked about was either altered or replaced.
The stock photo shows the back (non-pocket) side of the bag:

I'm not sure. It really looks like the green one has a rounded bottom. The blue one has a flat base with double seams, doesn't it?
It could be an outlet style.
I think you're right. The one in the listing looks flat at the base - almost like a fanny pack.
I have no idea.

The seller got back to me. The number is D05S-8A59.
I don't doubt that the bag is authentic but I can't find that style.
It's right in line with others in the same style series of numbers.

I found the web archive (August 2005) for the chelsea bags but they don't open so I can't see style numbers. However none have the long strap nor the rounded shape of the bag in the listing.
So other than a bit more information of the Chelsea line, we're no further ahead as far as ID'ing the bag!

You found more than I did. I was in June 2005 and there wasn't even a Chelsea category.
It took me the longest time to learn to use that site. And I never know which month(s) to look at. I checked a couple of months/dates earlier in the year and found lots of Sohos but no Chelsea. Then I searched later in the year and found this page.
It's so hit or miss and I get impatient waiting for the pages to load.
Do you know much about this one? Greensboro?I hadn't noticed the difference in the clasp and you are not going to stop after one more. You are an addict just like me!
