This is a large yet very flat bag. it can hold a lot! While it doesn't expand much, it is very deep for a classic fifties handbag. The texture is kind of like a woven texture with a slight sateen sheen. The hardware is gold toned and has a snap closure. Inside is a shiny satin fabric with one side zippered compartment. height with handle-17.5" width-10" condition- it just need to light cleaning, but overall, doesn't look like it has been used.
