This item can be used as both a backpack and a tote bag. It's not new, but it looks clean. It has been washed. There is one small hole on the lining where something rubbed against it, causing a snag. This has resulted in some loose threads on the front. Please see the last two photos for details. ● Size Height: 39 cm Width: 34 cm The opening can be closed by pulling the strings at the top.
