Did you find this item to be costly? Let us review the pricing details: The item includes FREE SHIPPING, which is applicable only within the United States. While I welcome international buyers, please contact me in advance to discuss potential adjustments, as international shipping is not complimentary. Please note that I operate several e-commerce stores, each incurring varying selling fees. Consequently, the asking price you see reflects these factors, meaning the net amount received will be considerably lower once shipping costs and fees are accounted for. Does this clarification make sense? If you're interested in this item, BUY it NOW since I revise descriptions and prices yearly. Prices for vintage items may increase due to their rarity and nostalgic value. I recommend zooming in on each image for a closer inspection of these details. This vintage bag is crafted from thick leather and is notably substantial in weight. As a pre-owned item, it exhibits signs of wear, including scratches on the leather, color fading in certain areas, and darkening or staining, particularly visible on the handles and exterior side pockets. The interior lining remains clean, and the longer shoulder strap is in good condition. Despite the flaws previously mentioned, the leather itself remains resilient. I consistently uphold the condition of all my leather bags, including this particular one. Aside from cleaning or enhancing the background, I do not use Photoshop or filters on my images. My items for sale come from a non-smoker, perfume-free owner without pets household. SELLER POLICY ARE THE FOLLOWING: PLEASE READ I encourage you to ask questions before purchasing if you have any. Avoid impulsive decisions. I have a NO-RETURN policy due to past issues with returns in poor condition and unrecoverable shipping fees. I encourage using the platform's zoom feature for detailed inspection before purchase. Packages are typically shipped the same day if ordered before 1:00 p.m., or the following day if not. Thank you for visiting my store, and take care!
