So I did run with the bag.

Here is Mdm 1962 (R stamp). Size 32. What had been done :
1/ leather cleaned and preserved
2/ metal hw replaced with brand new
3/ new double loop handle and new strap also in box calf
4/ the lock is old but craftsman gave her special leather bound. New box clochette/keys
5/ new dustbags

Interior as expected is not restored. Have marks but no tear. Some areas around the flap I shall DIY-condition to give some moisture. Years down the road I will send her for H spa once more. She deserves TLC after working hard for 54 years.

Super collection, I'm new to box and love the texture so I found myself a Kelly 32 in blue box from 1993.
It's gone to spa for a touch on the corners but it looks really fine for the rest, hope I get her back in perfect shape.
Another recent find was a Constance 23 in red box from 1999 that is even to good to send to spa, just a few superficial scratches that might vanish after some buffing with Saphir. I really love the shine of box! It's addictive. But I'll try to avoid rainy days to preserve the box leather and use a togo or epsom bag that days.

That Constance is delightful for its age. Very lucky you

Gorgeous!!
With the double ring handle, this looks brand new!! I'm amazed that they could match the leather.
