Condition
Pre-owned vintage condition with light to normal signs of age and use.
The raffia exterior presents very well overall for its age and retains a nice natural color and shape. There is some light general wear and minor variation/fraying consistent with woven raffia.
The ivory leather trim, handles, bottom panel and luggage tag show light surface marks, rubbing and mild discoloration from use, particularly around the base and high-contact areas.
Gold-tone hardware shows surface scratching, tarnishing/patina and finish wear, most noticeably on the zipper pulls and buckles.
The brown interior appears relatively clean overall with normal light signs of use and some natural variation/rubbing to the suede finish.
No major tears or structural damage are visible in the provided photos. Please review all photos carefully, as they show the actual condition and are considered part of the description.
