Excellent to Very Good. The Vachetta leather is still light (minimal patina), but there is slight creasing in the canvas and minor curling at the strap bases.

Retail: approx $2,030. Resale value: $1,200 - $1,700 depending on the presence of the internal pouch and patina level.
Care & Maintenance
Clean canvas with a damp cloth; use leather conditioner (non-darkening) on Vachetta; store in a dust bag with stuffing to maintain the flat-base shape.
