Hello, I recently purchased this vintage Fine and Klein handbag from an antique store. I believe it is made of genuine python/snakeskin, but I'm not sure how to identify which one it specifically is. The skin is very flaky and dry in some areas, so I'm assuming it needs to be cleaned and conditioned. Can anyone recommend a product best suited to do that?
Also, the closure was missing when I purchased it and I am having a difficult time finding what style of hardware I should be replacing it with. If anyone could provide info on the appropriate type of hardware for this bag it would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance!
