Craftsmanship Details

Condition Notes
Exterior leather shows slightly softened corners and minor structure loss (light sagging). Hardware shows visible plating wear and oxidation around the medallion edges. Interior appears intact but likely has coin residue or card slot stretching. Overall Grade: Good/Fair.
Value Estimate
Original Retail: $195 - $225. Current Resale Market: $40 - $85 USD depending on hardware condition and interior cleanliness.
Care & Maintenance
Wipe with a damp cloth; Saffiano is water-resistant. Use a leather conditioner specifically for finished leathers sparingly. Avoid overstuffing to maintain the gusset shape. Store in a dust bag when not in use.
