This bag was a gift from a wealthy friend, and I never used it. I also don't know how much she paid for it, but I believe it was substantial. I had it scrutinized by a purse buyer at a well known department store, but that is as far as I can commit to its authenticity. It is small, 6" x 9", envelope style that will hold a cellphone, cash/credit cards and perhaps a lipstick. All the trimmings are here: box (with a small flaw on one corner), tissue, dust bag, ribbon. I'm simply not a Gucci girl. Canvas coated monogram with leather trim and green/red canvas strap. I am guessing at the original cost. Could be between $1,000 - $1500.
