Hello! I posted this recent acquisition in another thread, and mentioned I left the tags on but will probably keep her.
She’s a vintage black caviar small classic flap w real gold plated hardware.
I’m just slightly on the fence because it came in such a dirty and unloved condition (though structurally almost perfect) and the reseller didn’t disclose some small imperfections on the side. It looks like the bag was scraped by something silver (a car door maybe). See pic.
There were even gum wrappers still in the back pocket! The humiliation she endured!!! Poor baby.
Anyway, I cleaned her gently and she perked up. Poor thing, my rag was just filthy with dust and dirt when I finished.
Would you ignore the silver paint marks? I paid $3300 for her and it’s hard finding a size small caviar in the preowned market. I can return her, supposedly, but must be quick if I do. XO
