Vintage 70s Etra Leather Handbag Hippie Shoulder Bag in a Cognac color Beautiful, timeless genuine patent leather vintage shoulder bag. Excellent condition. Very light soiling on inside lining. As with pre-owned items, som signs of age or wear are to be expected. All noticed flaws and damage will be noted in the listing and/or photos. Gentle signs of use. All components are in good working condition. Whether you are a vintage lover new or old, sometimes we forget the reality of what vintage is: secondhand style. Used clothing, Used Handbags, used accessories and used Jewelry. And dare I say it? OLD! So, what are the realities of those not-so-very-nice descriptors of what we all love? Well first, vintage clothing, Handbags and accessories are simply NOT NEW clothing, handbags, jewelry or accessories. The mix of wear, time, transport and multiple try-ons (particularly in a store) mean that there can be snags, tears, scuffs, marks and the like. With an understanding that vintage is not in perfect condition, you manage your expectations AND empower yourself to ask the questions to get the education you need before buying a vintage piece, particularly online from my e-commerce store. All questions are good questions. Managing your expectations around the realities of vintage will also lend itself to aiding a happier, healthier vintage shopping experience. You won’t become frustrated when that “showstopping piece” has something wrong with it.
