Details -

Purchased from Mulberry Outlet shop in Shepton Mallet in 2015, this piece has been carried very lightly and at first review look to be in an Excellent condition.

Well shaped, still nicely firm (see photo when empty) with that 'nearly-new' feel, its a beautiful bag.

Protective film in place on underside plates, shoulder strap buckle and interior disc, there are just the tiniest scratches to the base feet, a few to the Postmans Lock and light scratching round the turnlock hole, as shown.

The leather is colour consistent, entirely without wear to corners and curves, the handles, shoulder strap, inking (edge sealent) and stitching are all perfect.

A small, natural, diagonal striation in the hide on the base's RH side, (shown with the zoom) and a similar diagonal linear striaton to the front, lower RH (location highlighted in the Gallery photo above with a large circle). Also shown on an angle, which is the only way to make it visible, both of these veins form a part of the natural finish.

Its only on the closest of inspections you can note some very vague flattenings in the surface of the grain which appear as slight discolouration, again see photo above with all locations highlighted. Extremely hard to see in normal use, these are likely to have been present from construction and have been reflected in the price. 

As is sometimes found on hardware from this era, there is a little 'crazing' to the finish, which appears like a shattered mirror. Present on one, shoulder strap clip end and two of the handle base D rings, this has been shown with the zoom in the Gallery above, though to the naked eye its completely unnoticable and does not affect the use of the piece in any way.

The interior is lined in clean thick, dark chocolate cotton linen twill with a leather trimmed slip pocket and zipped pocket.
