I purchased this new and used it for about a month. I mainly kept money in it and took it out occasionally. Please see the third photo for the condition of the item. Also, the fourth photo shows a loose thread, and the fifth photo shows a part with poor construction. I noticed these after taking it out of the bag for the first time, so it seems like an initial defect, but it doesn't affect its use. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions!
