A bit of history….
This bag was purchased as part of the extensive wardrobe belonging to an astute woman of fashion (I call her Leopard Lady as she loved leopard print) who lived to 100 years. Her daughter informed me that up until the age of 70 she always wore heels, hats and a handbag and was recognized and admired in her local high street in the Midlands.
The collection purchased includes coats, blouses, dresses, bags, hats (Large fit) and shoes (size 40 / 41) which will all be listed for sale.

Very Good AGED Vintage Condition. The leather stitching has dried but is intact. Old working metal zip closure. The tan leather base is marked as seen.The interior is generally clean but with an oil based stain in one corner (see photo).
Snakeskin can be fragile. Treat this as an occasional bag for light use and it will serve you well.
