Authentic Mercer bag date code in photo it was originally a light blue and has been redyed to a more practical black color. Preowned. Please view pics and ask all questions prior to purchasing. Bag shows some general wear that is to be expected. Bottom one area that needed repair, stitching and has been repaired by a professional cobbler. Shown in photo. Interior is clean. There was some peeling on interior top close to zipper area faux leather/ vinyl top edges which I have covered using vinyl strips, it’s not beautiful but serves its purpose well, I’ve gone beyond the actual peeling width and area for a uniform look and to ensure it can’t continue. The bag is sturdy and will hold up to your traveling needs and expectation’s 🙂👍. Top rated trusted seller and suggested user selling authentic luxury items on posh since 2014.
