This handbag was my mom’s and then she gifted it to me. It’s probably a vintage bag judging by the original color it was in one of the photos. Yea it is purple, and it has little clips on the sides to make the bag bigger. I’ve loved this bag but I just don’t have the room and I don’t use it as often as I should. There is wear on the outside, could use a dry cleaning but it is authentic. I don’t much more about it, but if you have questions please feel free to ask. The inside of the bag is pristine, no holes whatsoever. Thanks for looking!
