Reposhing this item I purchased from @emilys_emporium. Loved it, but ready to rotate for something new. Made in France. Beautiful patina! Top handle, bases of lower straps and front closure strap have dryness of the vachetta. No effect on function. It’s so super cute!🤩❤️ I have added my own pictures to show the dryness of the vachetta on the top handle, closure strap and bases of lower straps. Water stains and small ink mark on base vachetta.
