Woohoo! Thanks Whateve. Yes, I just won it. I'm hoping it's putty. Burgundy would be awesome.
Yay! Congratulations! Can you do me a favor when you get it? Can you check the rivets? In this listing in picture 5, you can see that there is one rivet and it is off-center. http://www.ebay.com/itm/400753809733?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Do you think there is another hole there or was it really only made with one rivet? Mine has 2 rivets on each side.

ETA: I love this style so much more than the duffle sac because it is slim. It is so hard to find though!

Thanks Whateve. I stumbled across this by accident and bought it because it's NYC, intact and cheap! I wasn't sure what it was style-wise.
Sure, I'll check the rivets when it arrives. It'll take about 2 weeks to get here, though. That one in the listing is odd. It doesn't look like there's a rivet missing. Maybe it's a flaw that Quality Control missed.

I have this bag, in Tabac (I think) , and it has two rivets. I must have been feeling overconfident the day I picked it up though-it's wrecked. It has what I think are spots of hairspray that have soaked through the leather. :(


I love the Putty color TTB! I'm sure you'll have it looking great.

Thanks. The seller told me that 70s NYC bags only had one rivet and that they didn't start using 2 rivets until the late 80s. I think my bag is older than hers since her number starts with a 7 and mine with a 4. Mine is black.

Have you already tried rehabbing it? I didn't think hairspray would leave marks. Isn't it mostly alcohol? I bought one once that had little dots of paint all over it. It wasn't soaked in but each little blob of paint needed to be carefully scraped off after soaking to soften. It took forever. I missed a bunch and had to go back.
 
Does anyone know the name of this bag? Or of it's authentic? I cannot find ANYTHING in here or on the web. But I just have a really hard time believing Marshall's would sell a bag that's not even a legit style number! I loved her so I grabbed her up without doing any research! But do not like the idea of paying $170 for a fake bag! :) ImageUploadedByPurseForum1409770167.238551.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1409770178.201601.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1409770185.634536.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1409770192.173130.jpg

Why are you posting this here? Your question was answered at least twice on the authentication thread. Aren't you reading the responses?

Mine isn't an NYC bag. The serial is the xxxx xxx format. The single rivet is interesting-it does look like one is missing being off center.


I've had this bag for over a year, and haven't done anything with it. It might be a little over my head. I was thinking the spots might be non aerosol hairspray-those pump bottles always seemed to leak in my bag back in my big hair days. :smile1:

Thanks K2020. Not sure if it is putty. It could be the lighting, but it looks in good condition so I'll be happy with any colour at that price.

It would be worth rehabbing yours. I love tabac.
 
That looks just like a bag I got on my trip. Did you win it? It's shoulder sac #9730. I love this style. I would love to find one in British tan or burgundy.

Does anyone have a catalogue pic, please?

It's a pretty color, either way.


I think I'll give my bag a try-it will be a great learning tool if nothing else. It's got it all-mystery stains, split piping, verdigris, and even a little ink...
 
Hyacinth posted it about a month or two ago when I asked about my bag.
Thanks Whateve. The listing of mine doesn't show the slim lines. Can't wait to get it. I wish the seller would hurry up and invoice me!

You can only improve it. Good luck.
