agnes b. Purchased from a department store approximately 20 years ago. Made in France Color: Muted Red The seller's camera makes the color appear too vermilion, washing out details. The photos have been adjusted to emphasize the blue tones. Handle: Approximately 23cm Width: Approximately 28.5cm (at the top) x 39cm (at the widest point) Height: Approximately 22cm (from the stitching) x 35.5cm (at the stitching, bag opening) Inner pocket: 18.5cm wide x 13cm long I believe it's 100% cotton, but the inner tag is faded and I can't be certain. The handles have significant fading and dulling, the metal button on the outside of the handle has rust, and there is overall fading, scuffing, wear, and some color loss, indicating use. Images 11-14 show the bag turned inside out. The bag has been home-cleaned prior to listing. The design is cute, like a post office delivery person. The bag opens with a "kachari" sound when you turn the central metal piece sideways, like a screw-type toy. It's well-made, so you can put heavy books in it without worry. There is a sense of use, but there are no defects and it doesn't affect usability. I plan to fold it reasonably for shipping. Recommended for those who appreciate well-worn items, vintage enthusiasts, or those who enjoy repurposing through dyeing or other restoration methods.
