To ensure complete transparency for Vestiaire Collective’s authentication team and discerning buyers, please note the following minor characteristics of gentle vintage wear:Exterior Base: Displays a very faint, completely natural darkening/patina on the bottom surface edges from light handling. This is entirely normal and expected for authentic, untreated Coach saddle leather of this era, giving it beautiful character.Interior Lining: The interior solid dark fabric is exceptionally clean, with only one or two faint, microscopic watermarks that are completely hidden inside and barely noticeable. All minor characteristics are clearly highlighted in the accompanying photography. Please review all images to appreciate the incredible condition of this rare piece.
