I bought this in 2005 because it made me think of Oscar Wilde. It is ridiculously soft and luxurious purple velvet, ties with a satin bow. Satin lining. Excellent used condition, no visible rips or tears. Some of the velvet nap may be a bit scuffed here and there, but I haven't been able to spot it. Two front pockets. UK Size 10 / US Size 4. Measurements forthcoming.
