This is something my husband brought back as a souvenir from a business trip to Singapore decades ago. The leather has a sheen, but there are many imperfections, such as color unevenness and some scratches on the shoulder area. (I personally don't mind it (^_^;)) The inside has many stains. Please be sure to check the photos. I think it would look beautiful if you have it repaired at a leather specialist. Please feel free to comment if you have any questions. Thank you.
