    Description

    Elegant virtually perfect medium/large structured handbag in a sturdy black croc/alligator embossed leather.   Sort of a doctor's satchel.   Made In France exclusively for Bonwit Teller.
    Leather is stamped/embossed with an alligator pattern.   Not alligator skin.
    Wide domed shape with a double click locket on side of frame.
    Sturdy shaped half circle handle in perfect condition.  Attached to matte goldtone hinges at top of frame.
    Tiny gold bead footed bottom.
    Elegant leather interior in perfect condition.
    One zip pocket on back interior wall.  2 slip pockets on top of the zip pocket for a lipstick and tissue pack.
    On the opposite wall is a gusseted pocket.
    Sturdy bottom so no chance of bag sagging.
    Highest quality leather and workmanship in every aspect.
    Solid with nice weight.
    12 1/2" across bottom
    6 3/4" top to bottom
    3 1/4" deep at bottom
    5" handle drop
    I use a product called TERRAGO which is a paste like moisturizer with leather dye.   Use especially along edges and bottoms to keep leather soft and shiny and to restore any color loss.   About at shoe repair shops and worth much more.
