Koret black patent leather handbag

By ReggieJoyce, 29 May, 2011
Description

This is a black patent leather handbag with two carrying straps (not over the shoulder.)

It is a single closure clasp that opens up to a wide middle pocket. this pocket is lined in ultra red leather and stamped "made in the USA' in gold. Also the label is in a gold colored pendant with the name Koret engraved on it with an antelope above it. Korettalak and man made patent leather are stamped in gold as well. There are 2 pockets inside this main pocket. one is a zippered enclosure the other is not. they are both on opposite sides of the pocket lining. on both sides of this middle pocket are two slim compartments with no closures.  nothing bulking would be able to fit in these side pockets. the handles are held by two gold colored fastners that have no fading or discoloration (wear and tear down to the metal coloring). There are no scrathces, no scuffs, no imprintation, water marks or stains on the inside lining as well as the outter material. bag is in super excellent consition. The bottom flat has 4 sitting posts colored gold too and there are no marks on the bottom part of outer material either.
