I bought this bag in an estate sale and I just loved it and I have no idea what it is or if it’s crocodile and I just loved it and I don’t mind keeping it but if anybody has any knowledge of this bag I sure would appreciate any feedback at all. It appears to be a backpack or a bag and it’s in excellent condition except for a couple spills on the lining which I took a picture of that probably would come out if it was scrubbed. Without anything in it at all it was about 6 to 7 pounds it is very heavy. But it is oh so cool

If you take it to a shoemaker he might be able to identify the material

@lottashoes Thank you so much for your feedback I will do just that.

@uneekbuys it looks like authentic crocodile leather that’s been line painted. really is a beautiful piece you’ve found.

@dannyhalbrook thank you so terribly much for your feedback. It is a really heavy leather. Again thank you and have a wonderful day.

@uneekbuys Of course! Crocodile leather and especially if they keep the skin (which is even more prestigious) is extremely heavy. Over time this leather actually becomes even heavier due to either moisture intake, humidity, or simply just age. It truly is a “living” piece of art.

@dannyhalbrook you’re so terribly kind and I think I might just keep it. I am 77 and I just love the look of it. again thank you for your kindness.

@uneekbuys Thank you so much for your compliment. I do think it would be a shame to give up such a beautiful piece for such a low price. Have a wonderful day!

This is a croc backpack purse, not sure what the brand is tho

@astro4rocks Hi there thank you so much for your feedback. I looked again in every pocket etc. not anywhere is there any kind of name at all and I did take it to a shoe store and they said they thought for sure it was crocodile and they said it definitely was beautifully made but they had no idea the name or anything. Any suggestions if no name? Thanks so much.

@uneekbuys Helene is the only brand I can think of
uneekbuys
@astro4rocks thanks so much. Yes Helene is the one I thought the closest to style and look. I will do more research to see if there are any markings that would identify it as a Helene. Thank you so very much for your help. Have a fabulous day!!!!

If you have the book of faces (I can’t mention the actual name on here), there’s a group on there that might be able to help you. Poshmark won’t let me send you the name of the group because it includes other selling platforms, but if you search “Poshmark” the group will show up.

@jbaird86 thank you so very much I will research that and I really appreciate your comments.

@jbaird86 Hi there I’m so sorry but I’m having a hard time figuring out if the name you gave me is a book or if it’s a site name or can you give me any more hints on how I would do that?
jlawson86
@uneekbuys its okay! It’s a very popular social media site. Take “book face” and say it backwards without the space. Posh won’t let me spell it out :(
uneekbuys
I’m almost 80 so having a little harder time. I got the saying backwards and know what you’re saying there but can’t figure out how to find the group on posh. Do I go to FEED and type In the name of that social media site? I can’t figure out how I find the group. So sorry to bother you so much.

@uneekbuys hey so go to book-face but put face and then put book but put it together. And on the search just type in Poshmark and there a group click on it and I think u have to to join but then after they accept you post your pic on there. 😊

@vanessacasta110 thank you so much
