Saw a Salvation Army bag today and need some ID help! Looks like a Pocket purse and a Christie bag had a baby and created a hidden magnetic closure. Similar size, straps, dog leash clips as a Pocket purse but with the curved, higher front flap of the Christie. The magnetic closure on the front flap was on the backside and hidden, unlike the Christie. One interior zip pocket, xxxx-xxx serial # with 'Made in the United States' at the bottom of creed. Bone color.

Ring any bells? I've searched my fingers raw! Sorry no pics - SAs are cranky there.

Attached are Pocket and Christie for reference. 1st is from Terapeak, 2nd is mine.

Pocket purse...Also, I don't think the straps were adjustable on the mystery purse but I'm not sure about that part.

Thank you for any ideas! This is driving me nuts!

Oh that is sooooo close and I hadn't seen that one either - thank you! I know the straps attached with the dog leash clips v. D-rings and there was no front pocket under the flap - only the zippered creed pocket inside.

Now I might have to go back out and see if it's still there!

I think this might be it, the sterling clutch. It didn't come out until 1994 so it must have been one of the last ones made before they switched to the new creeds.

Bingo - you found it! :woohoo: I don't know how you do it, but I'm glad that you do!

I will be waiting there when doors open tomorrow to get it, heehee.

Good for you! I wish my memory was better. Even when I know I've seen something before, I can't remember where. I have to look through a lot of pictures to find things.

It's ALMOST like the one below, except the catalogs all say that the Carry-All Clutch 4832 had a full-length back pocket, and I don't see any sign of a back pocket in the listing, unless they mean one of the openings under the flap. This one's from the Holiday 1991 catalog

Thank you! Maybe the full-length back pocket is the one behind the zippered pocket?
