for auction is a stunning, exceptionally rare vintage early-2000s (Y2K era) Mussio DeGroot "Squiggle" leather mini tote bag.
Mussio DeGroot is highly celebrated for its premium boutique, small-batch Italian craftsmanship. Because their pieces were produced in incredibly limited seasonal quantities rather than mass-market factories, finding this exact design online is nearly impossible—making this a truly unique collector's piece!


Design & Features:
• Stunning Colorway: Crafted from beautiful, premium glazed Italian cowhide leather in a striking chartreuse / lime green hue.
• Artisanal Details: Features two parallel cream leather wave/chevron cutouts, beautifully top-stitched individually across the front panel.
• Signature Interior: Opens up to the iconic Mussio DeGroot signature high-contrast coral red/orange satin lining. Features one floating interior zippered wall pocket to keep small items secure.
• Closure & Hardware: A matching chartreuse leather flap neatly folds over the top with a strong, antiqued gold-toned magnetic snap mechanism.
Approximate Dimensions:
• Width: 9.5" (measured across the front panel)
• Height: 5.5" (measured from the top rim down to the base)
• Depth: 6.5" (measured across the top opening when pulled apart)
• Strap Drop: 5 in. Perfect for carrying comfortably over the forearm or snugly on the shoulder)
Excellent vintage condition with very light wear consistent with age! The leather is incredibly soft with a gorgeous natural glaze, and the interior hot pink lining is clean and vibrant.
Please note: There is a very small, faint ink pen mark on the front leather upper rim (visible in photos with the tape measure). I have not attempted to clean or remove it to preserve the original glazed finish. The stitching on the cream wave patches remains completely secure and intact. Please review all photos carefully.
Authenticity Note:
Please note that high-end boutique lines like Mussio DeGroot did not clutter their luxury silk linings with cheap commercial fabric care or material tags. Authentic quality is verified via the rich, unmistakable genuine leather aroma, premium raw suede handle undersides, and the iconic stamped green leather interior logo patch.
