I obtained this in Ginza in the 1980s and used it for ceremonies about three times. It can be used for both formal and everyday occasions. The elephant hide is soft and has a luster, and the touch is good, so I cherished it, but I no longer have the opportunity to use it formally, so I am putting it up for sale while it is still beautifully stored. I think Italian elephant hide bags are rare.
I don't think there are any scratches or stains on the front, back, or sides. However, there is discoloration and dents on the inside, including around the mark, in the vinyl material, but there are no holes (photo 9). Also, the gold-colored bottom studs show some color fading (photo 10). I don't think either is very noticeable. There may be other signs of aging, so I hope someone who likes vintage items will use it.
