A beautiful, timeless bag and a wardrobe must-have! A rich, Autumnal colour but no reason why this bag cannot be worn during the more warmer seasons also. Timeless in design and made to last for many more decades to come. Has a multitude of uses, very durable & versatile. It is also heavy-duty. Mix and match with other vintage pieces, or more modern pieces alike, to create your very own unique, yet glam look/s. This bag looks particularly beautiful worn with skinny denim jeans, and similar tan brown coloured leather knee high boots.
Very good, used vintage condition, especially considering it is around 40 years old. As mentioned above, the Tan Brown leather outer has a 'mottled' and 'distressed' finish to it; it is not a perfect/block colour. There are darker tones to the colour in areas, e.g., to the leather of the outer pocket, (please see picture 19). There are also some marks to the long, leather strap, (please see picture 24). These add to the overall charm and 'used look' of this bag. It is not in pristine condition, but being sold in very good, used vintage condition. Please ensure to inspect all the pictures, (as well as the mini video clip), before purchasing, to make certain you are happy with the condition/signs of wear. Only selling as I have too many bags in my collection now.
