And while I am at it, I just received this new-to-me RED Taft bag (authenticated here) made in Costa Rica. The leather and color are soooo beautiful, but its big! So I made DD model it for me too. FWIW, she positively drooled over the Hippie bag, this one, not as much.

I know this is an old comment, but I’m close to your height and wondering how the Taft works crossbody on you?

Btw, it’s gorgeous! And I have a Willis for a quickie size comp, so here’s someone 3 years later who finds this post totally helpful!

so this listing had the absolute worst photos I’d ever seen…like some photos from the first store security camera ever made :lol: but still I kind wanted to bite…I did ask for more photos but once i saw someone putting in offers I went ahead and nabbed it. Seller went ahead and still sent more photos after the sale, turns out it’s a bottle green 9085 duffle sac in really good condition…was surprised by her ability to take nicer photos considering what she used in her listing. The photos she sent weren’t outstanding but you could clearly tell what the bag was and it’s actual condition, here’s the listing pics…I didn’t mind taking my chances just because I’ve never had any issues with poshmark returns

update, bag finally arrived, turned out to be an olive Helen’s berg…seller definitely undersold the condition, more fading than acknowledged and she has a thousand scratches…they listed it as being in “great condition”, gonna keep it anyway though, I rarely come across a duffle in this color and kind of excited to see how it cleans up, she definitely looks worse than in these photos…getting a bath asap

Cant wait to see her all spiffed up! Gotta love a rehab challenge, so satisfying!

Oh wow.. That's going to rehab beautifully! Nice find, congrats!
 
I have a question for collectors- how do you catalog your collection- if at all? Spreadsheet? Photos? List on your phone? What info do you include?

It occurred to me that I wanted to know the factory for each of my bags, and to match up the factory letter code in the creed number so I got all my bags out and wrote down the style name, where it was made and the number from the creed.

Has anyone else done any cataloging like this? Looking for ideas.

I have mine listed on a spreadsheet in order of acquisition, with date of purchase, name of item, purchase price, color name, year, style number. On post 1994 vintage bags I have the country, some I have the complete creed number.

I have all my bags and SLGs, not just the vintage ones, on this spreadsheet. I've been keeping it since 2011.

For most of my bags, there is at least one picture of each on my desktop computer.
