if u have a penchant 4 unique unusual things that others call odd or in extreme cases distasteful, u might appreciate this enigmatic vintage bag. it looks like an old porcelain vase, a cheap 1, not elegant or classy, adorned all-around w/ an unremarkable purple & yellow floral embossed & colored pattern. it's 6 sides open like flower petals 2 access the contents of its single compartment. it has a long adjustable strap & 3 places 2 hook it on so u can wear it as a crossbody or a shoulder bag. seems surpisingly well made, but I dont think it's real patent leather. bad is likely at least 70 yrs old, if so it's in very good condition- no major defects, minor yellowing, metal is untarnished.
