Strap & Handle Details
Dual flat top handles made of the same synthetic leather material, attached with reinforced rectangular stitching to the body.
Craftsmanship Details
Machine-stitched with standard polyester thread. The edges of the straps are finished with black edge paint. Symmetry is industrial standard, and the decorative stitching is for aesthetic purposes rather than structural integrity.
Authentication Indicators
Mass-market authenticity is confirmed by the brand stamp 'WEIMEIBAIGE'. Note the uneven spacing in the decorative stitching and the synthetic appearance of the grain as indicators of its non-luxury origin.

Circa 2020-2024; based on the branding style and the specific synthetic finish which is currently prevalent in fast-fashion distribution.

Condition Notes
The bag shows visible wear including scuffs, surface scratches to the synthetic finish, and some darkening (dirt accumulation) on the white decorative stitching. Structure appears soft with some sagging.
Value Estimate
Original Retail: $15 - $30 USD. Current Resale Value: $5 - $15 USD depending on condition. It does not carry significant investment value.
Care & Maintenance
Clean with a damp cloth; avoid leather conditioners as synthetic PU does not absorb oils and may become sticky. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the PU from peeling (hydrolysis).
Similar Handbags
