Vintage Vassar Alligator Leather Handbag
This oversized classic vintage purse has a handle that is long enough for me to wear as a shoulder bag in warm weather. It has several inner pockets and a large pocket on the outside to keep your phone handy. It will carry a pad too.
The findings are brass. There is a bit of tarnish on the metal, but no metal decay.
The leather color is brown on the outside with saddle-color leather lining.
The measurements are:
Base: 13.5 inches wide by 4 inches deep;
Center height: 10 inches
Handle drop: 7 inches
Handle length: approximately 17 inches.
The condition is very good. The leather is pliable. The purse is very clean. It was well taken care of. It is leather-lined. Inside, you will find a zipper pocket, a flap pocket on one side, and a flap pocket that closes with a snap.
There is one small scuff inside near the top. There are some light scratches caused by jewelry hitting the leather when opening the clasp, I assume. It is not as obvious in person enhanced to show in photos.
