Thank you :)

It just got authenticated in the thread here at tPF :) And yes, the bag is very faded - I have got some good advice here in this forum on how to try to restore it (will first try leather honey). And second yes to the zipper pull - it is no original BUT do the bags even have a zipper pull there? seems like it has been added and not replaced. Strange, especially since it's hard to remove haha.

I believe that bag would have only had the leather tassel for a zipper pull, which it indeed has.
My guess is the owner added that metal zipper pull so as not to use the tassel which over time could weaken & possibly damage it. Just a guess.. ;)


Saira/MuchStuff did they have the leather tab zipper pulls for that style 2010? I've never checked..

Weren't they only on the bags with giant hardware?

Actually I posted in the authentication thread about my bag since I've bought it second hand (from a trustworthy site, which is recommended here on tPF) and wanted to be extra sure about the bag.

Do you have a link to your bag? would love to see the color (and model) that is causing you headache!

If you go back to post number 9530 on this thread you'll see a pic. We've narrowed it down to 2009-2011 by the tag number but the shade of brown could be one of a couple different ones.

A really really nice bag! :)

Yup, the men's day is a nice bag to carry. I had the strap shortened because I'm not really a cross body type. I do want to try some kind of product on it for a deeper conditioning. There's a product on that website I linked for you that comes in two shades of brown, black, and I think white. Considering trying it but I really don't want to change the shade of brown, just give it a good moisturizing!

Haha, that is exactly my problem. I wanna keep the color of my bag (I absolutely love it) but it really needs a lot of moisturizing and I guess that the leather honey will deepen the color a lot. I will have to use it a lot in the sun during summer ;)

Hi,

Can anyone help me please identify colour/year of this Work bag?

the metal plate reads: N 1505 R 132110
the leather tag reads: 132110 . 1669

If I am reading correctly, I think it's a 2009 SS 'Framboise'?

many thanks!
