Beautiful, understated shoulder bag by Paloma Picasso, Pablo Picasso's daughter. She's most noted for her jewelry designs with Tiffany, but she also designed purses and other leather goods. The bag is very well balanced, it can be easily carried either by hand, or put over your shoulder. It is a very dark navy blue that does look like black, but it will look good no matter how you style it! The purse is in very good overall condition, with some wear on the on the purse, as is to be expected from this age. On the bottom there is some scuffing, but that can be easily remedied. The lining is beautiful and untouched, with a little vintage wear, but no odors or stains. It measures 11 inches across, is 4 and 1/2 inches wide and is 8 inches tall. The strap drop measures 7.5 inches. The brass hardware is also in remarkable condition, with very minimal vintage wear. The snaps still holds it securely together. It is very hard to find such a durable and elegant purse!
