This is an authentic gucci bag I purchased second hand from a known philadelphia luxury consigner. The intention was to have the bag dyed, but an inexperienced person posing as a great cobbler screwed that up by painting the bag. Most of this has been stripped and it is ready to wear with caution. .....as some of the leftover paint can glitter your hand.... but I'm over it now. So my costly mistake will now be someone's gain. If you love to upcycle or want to do restoration this is the bag for you. 13×9 in with 8in handle drop
