Genuine double-faced leather. This is a 2-in-1 handbag that can be converted into a backpack or a single-strap bag. The handle was re-done by a cobbler as the original one bent. You can see how it was attached on the inside. The handle is from the same bag material and color (I had an extra strap). This does still come with 2 straps that can be used together for a backpack or one for a shoulder bag. The white things on the photos are just a little lint. This bag is in good condition - see photos as I tried to capture everything. There is some wear on the hardware as seen in the photos and the front clasp has some very minor/light scratches. 1 exterior slide pocket and 2 interior slide pockets. Comes with original tag and dust bag.
