Bag is from my personal collection and is in nice shape. There are no scratches, rips, or tears. It has been stored in my closet after I carried it for several months. The bag closes at the top with the over flap and a twist turn metal closure. The finish is worn on the center turn piece. You can see this on picture # 6. This hard to find purse is a shoulder bag and also has a detachable crossbody or longer shoulder strap. Please let me know if you have any questions.
