This bag has good ‘bones’ but she needs some tlc. Zipper needs replacing Interior pocket has some flaking Interior of bag smells a bit musty from storage Cachets is dry but no cracking…in surprisingly good shape! Same with corners. Leather has no rips or tears. Price is FIRM and reflects the co dition of the bag for a project to refurbish. Thank you for your interest! Happy holidays and happy poshing! I cannot find a date code. However, this bag was purchased from a very reputable posh seller who does not sell replica bags. His business is 100% upfront and legit. Won’t take you long to figure out. 😉 May also be because of its age.
