The listing, Fabulous Vintage Etra Red Leather and Gold Tone Pocketbook has ended.
Genuine red leather and gold tone Etra pocketbook. **PLEASE READ THE WHOLE DESCRIPTION BEFORE YOU BID!!!***
THE POSITIVES:
The outside has no stains or rips
The clasp works perfectly
The stitching in the seams is perfect, there are no holes, and I don't see any evidence of repairs.
Gorgeous fire engine red color
The leather has a beautiful sheen
The original label is still sewn into the inside
It doesn't smell funky- just the faint scent of leather
Measurements: just over 9" (approx 9 1/16) wide by 6" for the pocketbook
The purse opens to about 6" at its widest.
Chain is 14 1/2 inches from the top of the purse to right where your shoulder would be. It hangs from my shoulder to right where my elbow is and I am 5"7
ok now for the "negatives"
The chain has no kinks or breaks BUT the gold tone is heavily worn. Could be okay as is, or is an easy fix for the new owner.
There is scratching on the hardware, a few are deep.
There are some STAINS inside the purse, which I have tried to show in the picture of the inside of the purse. It looks like part of the ink from the label came off on the opposite side of the purse for one of the stains, there are other stains. I've never tried to remove the stains, so maybe the new owner will be able to remove them.
Again there are stains, but NO SMELL, and the stains are inside the purse. Other than the stains, there is nothing wrong with the inside of the purse.
There are some creases in the leather on the outside of the purse, but nothing that isn't normal wear.
*** The corners at the top where the hardware is connected to the purse look like they might be getting seperated, but that is only if you wiggle the leather corners so I don't know if that is normal or not **
I have tried to describe this purse as accurately as possible. This is an AS IS listing, please do not bid if you are uncomfortable with anything in the listing details.
