FAQs

What is the overall condition of this bag?

The bag is rated B+ and shows signs of wear including exterior stains and cracks, repainted bottom and sides, worn corners, and scratched lock and zipper. The interior lining also has stains.

Can I use this bag for everyday wear?

Yes, it can be used for everyday wear. However, due to its preloved condition, it may be best suited for occasions where pristine appearance is not the absolute priority, or for those who appreciate the character that comes with age.

What are the dimensions of the bag?

The dimensions are approximately 16cm (Length) x 20cm (Height) x 11cm (Width).

Does the bag come with a dust bag?

Information regarding the original dust bag is not provided in the product description. It is recommended to store it in a protective bag.

What does 'Repainted' mean for the condition?

It indicates that the bottom and side panels of the bag have had their color or finish reapplied, likely to address wear or damage in those areas.

Is the shoulder strap adjustable?

The product description mentions a detachable flat shoulder strap, implying it can be attached and detached, but does not specify if it is adjustable in length.

The main material of the bag is leather.

Troubleshooting

Bag does not hold its shape well.

Stuff the bag with acid-free tissue paper or soft fabric when not in use to help maintain its structure.

Stains on leather are noticeable.

Consult a professional leather cleaning service specializing in handbags. Spot cleaning with mild soap and water might worsen the condition.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently rub a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this could cause damage.

Shoulder strap attachment points feel loose.

Inspect the hardware for any signs of damage. If the strap feels insecure, consider consulting a cobbler or leather goods repair specialist.
