How wide does it open? Would it be possible to see a photo of the inside of the case?

@mljcote hi! Uploaded new pics. When you open the mouth of the bag it doesn’t stay open when you let go. So the pics I just added show the widest it opens.
The inside of the bag does not have damage other than 2 missing black circular pads. One side has them (they’re like a thick sponge) and the other side doesn’t. Where the sponges were you see the burgundy colour scratched off

@overdressedshop thank you so much for such a thorough reply! Unfortunately I need a bag that will stay open.
