My mother purchased this and used it for important events. Afterwards, it was carefully protected and stored for a long time. The handle can be tucked inside, allowing it to be used as a clutch bag. I think it would also be suitable for use with a kimono. The back pattern of the crocodile leather is well-arranged and very beautiful. Please see photos 7 and 8. There is some discoloration on the mouth area. There are scratches on the clasp. I hope someone will find a use for it.
