Clean smoke free home, not a single pen mark in or outside of the bag. Clean, no odors. Leather is buttery soft to touch, cleaned with leather cleaner and conditioned. Did not dunk. No leather paint or shoe polish used. Very light fading across bottom due to age. Can use a conditioner that might darken if desired. Not at all noticeable when purse is closed. All stitching and piping intact. A solid Coach bag overall! All my bags are kept stuffed to keep shape. Dimensions are 11X8
