Hello everybody who is up for a challenge. I mean serious challenge (unless I have underestimated you all; yikes!).

Please do help ID this. I am not even sure if it's vintage. I have a feeling it is. But who knows?

I am sorry if the picture turns out tiny. =(

Hi, perhaps the postal service had similar bags for the mailman? Secure with the strap and a lock.

Here's a similar type of bag: Please help Identify this Handbag!

and a thread: What could this be? Amazing vintage leather doctor bag...

Perhaps. But I think it's more of a designer-ish brand trying to get that Birkin look. Ralph Lauren, in their old old old Black Watch collection, had one of those bags. I love it. Burberry s/s13 men's tote were also similar ish. With the whole strap across the top/HAC birkin look.

Thanks for those links! These are really interesting! I'm off to research more into this vintage area. :D:D

[FONT=&quot]Just bid a LV Jasmin on ebay & about to pay within 2 days. I saw other silver hardware Jasmin came with a lock & key. I know the brass hardware one didn’t have a lock, so the zip was different too. The Jasmin had changed in 2011?(I think?) Do only those after 2011 come with locks?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The seller said the date code isTH0096 (no photo of the date code)….that means this bag was made in 2006. So was it normal for this bag didn’t come with a lock?[/FONT]

Hi, Everyone I have to say what a great forum! I am hoping someone might be able to recognize this vintage handbag. I have tried to find another purse similar but have had no luck. The gold Leopard or Cheetah and the straps buckle does not attract a magnet so not metal, but they are not plastic either. The heavy Leopard is not glued but mounted somehow professionally through the top of the bag and material covers the mounting. The only identifying marks I can find are the Patent numbers on the magnetic snap that is marked: UK PAT 1519248 UK D973682 and a small white tag inside that states made in China. Any thoughts would be appreciated:))

Hi guys, so I was browsing a shop yesterday and came across this young girl wearing a really cute dark teal leather messenger/cross-body bag with brown straps.

I mustered up the courage to ask her who made it, and all she said was "I'm from New York so..." and trailed off. Wow...snooty, but I just smiled and said "Yeah, it's pretty" and walked away, kinda embarrassed--what else could I do.

I kinda need help finding that bag or another one very close to it; I found some dupes already, but I was wondering if anyone here to add to that list.

The bag was a messenger style like the Marc by Marc Jacobs softy saddle, except the girl's bag, the leather had no visible grain and did not have the top-handle--it looked really soft and worn-in that it lost the shape. Here's the MbMJ bag..

I came across a Fossil bag that is more closer in color and leather, but the entire handle of the girl's bag was brown. It was closer to the shape of the MbMJ, and as far as I can tell, had no visible logo or markings...(but then again, she may have worn it backward that could have hid the logo)...

Thanks in advance.
