hi there, in the pic were u show the wear at the top of the seam of the bag, is that a hole? is the stitch or the leather separated from the body? good pics but still hard to see what is needed to repair? also the other pic with the wear along the seam, is any of the stitching damage? I do understand it is vintage but wanted to make sure I ask the necessary questions so I no what I am receiving? And what i have to do to bring this beautiful bag back to its original form. cheers

@megamill10 Hi. There is no hole. I'm not exactly sure which photo you're referring to when you're talking about "top of the seam of the bag." If you're referring to the photo that shows in the interior zip compartment, the opening you're seeing on the other end is an interior pocket... The stitching is intact; no damage to stitching. Most of the wear is on the edges and corners of the bag (front corners have minor tear at edges.) There is also some light scuffs & surface blemishes throughout.

@megamill10 I'm grateful for your interest in the bag. I'm happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. I know it's difficult to purchase a vintage bag online without assessing the bag in person. So, again, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

@megamill10 I think itβs from wear on the leather. The stitching is all intact.
